Getting Started

When using your watch the first time, you should complete these tasks to set it up and get to know the basic features.

  1. Hold Top button to turn on the watch (Overview).
  2. Answer the device prompts.
  3. Pair your phone (Pairing Your Phone).

    Pairing your phone gives you access to course updates, scorecard syncing, phone alerts, and more. Software updates provide changes and improvements to privacy, security, and features.

  4. Follow any remaining on-screen instructions to complete the initial setup.
  5. If necessary, create a passcode to secure your device (Setting Your Watch Passcode).
  6. Charge the watch completely so that you have enough charge for a round of golf (Charging the Watch).
