Pairing Your Phone

To use the connected features on your watch, you must pair it directly through the Garmin Connect™ app, instead of from the Bluetooth® settings on your phone.

NOTE: You can go to garmin.com/ble for information about Bluetooth phone compatibility information. You can go to garmin.com/voicefunctionality for voice functionality compatibility information.
  1. Select an option:
    • During the initial setup on your watch, select Checkmark symbol when you are prompted to pair with your phone.

    • If you previously skipped the pairing process, from the watch face, press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout, and select Settings > Connectivity > Pair Phone.

    • If you want to pair a new phone, from the watch face, press Line drawing of the watch with a top button callout, and select Settings > Connectivity > Phone > Pair Phone.

      NOTE: This option only appears when your watch is not currently connected to a paired phone.
  2. Scan the QR code with your phone, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing and setup process.
