Locating a Phone Lost During a GPS Activity

Your vívoactive® 5 watch automatically stores a GPS location when Bluetooth® technology on your paired phone is disconnected during a GPS activity. You can use this feature to help locate a phone that is lost during an activity.

  1. Start a GPS activity.
  2. When prompted to navigate to the last known location of your device, select Checkmark symbol.
  3. Orient yourself so the bearing pointer turns green, which indicates your direction of travel.
  4. Swipe up to reconnect your watch with your phone (optional).

    An audible alert sounds on your phone.

  5. Navigate to your phone.
  6. When your watch is within Bluetooth range of your phone, the Bluetooth signal strength appears on the screen.

    The signal strength increases as you move closer to your phone.
