Adding the Connect IQ Tide App to My Garmin Watch

Some Garmin watches are compatible with the Tides Connect IQ™ app which adds the ability to display tide information,¹ including the tide height and when the next high and low tides will occur. This information can be customized to display tide data from a specific beach of your choosing. For more details on the Tides app and which Garmin watches are compatible with the app, see - Tides - Garmin Connect IQ.

NOTE: Tide information depends on an active connection to the Garmin Connect app on a paired smartphone to download tide data.
