Keeping the quatix® watch software up to date ensures the best performance and the latest features. Methods for updating software are described below. 

For information on updating compatible mapping, see Related at the bottom of the page.

Installing Software Updates

Garmin Connect™ App

The Garmin Connect™ app downloads software updates automatically behind the scenes while the watch is connected to the mobile phone. There are no further steps required to get the latest software. Generally, any released updates will take up to a week to download before automatically or prompting to install on the device. 

Search for and download the Garmin Connect app in your phone's application store. For more information on the Garmin Connect app, see - Garmin Connect app on Garmin.com.

Garmin Express™ Software

Garmin Express software provides the ability to check for and download software updates each time the device connects to the computer.
