Syncing the Time

Each time you turn on the watch and acquire satellites or open the Garmin Connect™ app on your paired phone, the watch automatically detects your time zone and the current time of day. You can also manually sync the time when you change time zones, and to update for daylight saving time.

  1. From the watch face, hold Middle-left button.
  2. Select Watch Settings > System > Time > Time Sync.
  3. Wait while the watch connects to your paired phone or locates satellites (Tips for Improving GNSS Satellite Reception).
    TIP: You can press Lower-left button to switch the source.
