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.
1 From the watch face, hold
2 Select Watch Settings > Connectivity > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.
3 Select an option:
• Select Search All.
• Select your sensor type.
You can customize the optional data fields

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 fēnix 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 fēnix 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.

The speaker or microphone is quiet after water exposure

After swimming, bathing, or exposing the watch to water, residual water in the speaker and microphone ports
may cause the watch to be temporarily quieter than usual. The water does not cause harm to the watch, but it
may take up to 24 hours for the water to evaporate. Follow the device care instructions when you clean your
watch after water exposure

How can I undo a lap button press?

During an activity, you might accidently press the lap button. In most cases,
will have a few seconds to discard the most recent lap or sport change. The lap undo feature is available for
activities that support manual laps, manual sport changes, and automatic sport changes. The lap undo feature
is not available for activities that trigger automatic laps, runs, rests, or pauses, such as gym activities, pool
swimming, and workouts.
