Downloading Personal Audio Content

Before you can send your personal music to your watch, you must install the Garmin Express™ application on your computer (garmin.com/express).

You can load your personal audio files, such as .mp3 and .m4a files, to a vívoactive® 5 watch from your computer. For more information, go to garmin.com/musicfiles .

  1. Connect the watch to your computer using the included USB cable.
  2. On your computer, open the Garmin Express application, select your watch, and select Music.
    TIP: For Windows® computers, you can select Browse folders and browse to the folder with your audio files. For Apple® computers, the Garmin Express application uses your iTunes® library.
  3. In the My Music or iTunes Library list, select an audio file category, such as songs or playlists.
  4. Select the checkboxes for the audio files, and select Send to Device.
  5. If necessary, in the vívoactive 5 list, select a category, select the checkboxes, and select Remove From Device to remove audio files.
