Acquiring Satellite Signals

The watch may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals.
1 Go outdoors to an open area.
The front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky.
2 Wait while the watch locates satellites.
It may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

Improving GPS Satellite Reception

• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.
• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these tips.
• Wear the watch on your non-dominant wrist.
• Carry the watch in your pocket when pushing a stroller or lawn mower.
• Carry the watch in your pocket when actively using your hands or arms only.
NOTE: The watch may interpret some repetitive motions, such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping
your hands, as steps.

The floors climbed amount does not seem accurate

Your watch uses an internal barometer to measure elevation changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is
equal to 3 m (10 ft.).
• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing stairs.
• In windy environments, cover the watch with your sleeve or jacket as strong gusts can cause erratic readings.
