Acquiring Satellite Signals

The watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals.

  1. Go outdoors to an open area.

    The front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky.

  2. Wait while the watch locates satellites.

    It may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

Improving GPS Satellite Reception

  • Frequently sync the watch with the Garmin Jr.™ app using your Bluetooth® enabled phone.
  • Take the watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
  • Remain stationary for a few minutes.
