The watch should be oriented with 6 o'clock pointing toward
the sky.

and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Connect Mobile app using
your Bluetooth enabled smartphone.
◦ Connect your device to your Garmin Connect account
using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin Connect account, the device
downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly
locate satellite signals.
• Take your device outside to an open area away from tall
buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
The temperature reading is not accurate
Your body temperature affects the temperature reading for the
internal temperature sensor. To get the most accurate
temperature reading, you should remove the watch from your
wrist and wait 20 to 30 minutes.
You can also use an optional tempe external temperature
sensor to view accurate ambient temperature readings while
wearing the watch.
