Viewing Boat Data on a Garmin Watch

You can connect a compatible Garmin® watch to a compatible chartplotter to view data from the chartplotter.

For more information, see the owner's manual for your compatible Garmin watch.

TIP: In addition to viewing boat data, you can also use a compatible Garmin watch to control or view other features on the chartplotter:
  1. Bring the Garmin watch within range (3 m) of the chartplotter.
  2. From the watch face, select Upper-right button > Boat Data > Upper-right button.
    NOTE: If you have already connected to a chartplotter, and would like to connect to a different chartplotter, open the Boat Data screen, hold UP, and select Pair New.
  3. On the chartplotter, select Settings menu > Communications > Wireless Devices > Wearables > Boat Data > Enable Connections > New Connection.

    The chartplotter begins searching for and connecting to the watch.

After the devices are paired, they connect automatically when they are turned on and within range.
