Capturing a Screenshot on a Garmin Watch

Some Garmin® watches are able to capture a screenshot of the watch face at any given moment, both during and not during activities. Capturing a screenshot of an error can help Product Support resolve an issue in the case that one arises with your watch.

IMPORTANT: Watches with on-board music or that use MTP Protocol do not show as a drive when connected to a Mac. It is recommended to use a Windows computer for these watches. To see if your watch uses MTP, refer to Fitness and Outdoor Devices with Media Transfer Protocol.
