Using the Messenger App
The non-satellite messaging features of the Garmin Messenger™ app on your phone should not be solely relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance.
To use the Messenger app, your tactix® 8 watch must be connected to the Garmin Messenger app on your compatible phone using Bluetooth® technology (Garmin Messenger App).
The Messenger app on your watch allows you to view, compose, and reply to messages from the Garmin Messenger app on your phone.
