Using the Find My Phone Feature on a Garmin Watch
Find My Phone allows you to locate your phone when it is paired and within Bluetooth® range of your Garmin® watch. For details about Bluetooth range, see What Is the Maximum Bluetooth Range of My Garmin Watch or Edge Device?
When the feature is activated, your phone will emit an audible alert and vibrate. Android users can also flash their camera light if camera permissions are enabled for the Garmin Connect™ app. Some Garmin watches will also display the Bluetooth signal strength which will increase as you move closer to your smartphone.
For specific instructions on using this feature, search "Find My Phone" in your owner's manual.
