How Do I Pair My Watch to a New Phone?
When setting up your Garmin watch with a new phone there are some steps that you will need to follow in order to complete the process.
If the old phone is still nearby and powered on, you must remove the watch from the old phone. This will need to be done from the Garmin Connect™ app and from the phone's Bluetooth® settings. For help see: How Do I Remove a Device From the Garmin Connect App?
Confirm the Garmin watch does not show up in the new phones Bluetooth menu. Phones restored from a backup of an old phone may have the watch listed in the Bluetooth without pairing. If the watch does show in the Bluetooth menu of the phone you will need to remove it before continuing.
Download and install the Garmin Connect app to the new phone. For help see: Installing, Updating and Uninstalling the Garmin Connect App.
Sign into your Garmin Connect account.
Place your Garmin device into pairing mode. This allows the Garmin Connect app to find it.
This setting is typically found under Settings > Bluetooth or Phone > Pair Phone. Refer to your owner's manual for specific steps.
Select Add Device in the Garmin Connect app.
From the Garmin Connect app select Start or Connect it.
Input the six-digit code from the Garmin device into the prompt on the phone.
Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the setup of your device. A sync should occur during this process and your Garmin device should display a green dot from the Home page view of the Garmin Connect app, indicating a connection with your mobile device.
