Can I use my Bluetooth sensor with my watch?

The watch is compatible with some Bluetooth sensors. The first time you connect a sensor to your Garmin
watch, you must pair the watch and sensor. After they are paired, the watch connects to the sensor
automatically when you start an activity and the sensor is active and within range.

My headphones will not connect to the watch

If your Bluetooth headphones were previously connected to your phone, they may connect to your phone
automatically instead of connecting to your watch. You can try these tips.
• Turn off Bluetooth technology on your phone.
Refer to the owner's manual for your phone for more information.
• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your phone while connecting your headphones to your watch.
• Pair your headphones with your watch

My music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected

When using a Forerunner music watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there
is a direct line of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones.
• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become
disconnected.
• If you wear your Forerunner music watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth
antenna is on your left ear.
• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist.
• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal
strength.
