My Instinct Series Watch Is Stuck in Battery Saver
Some Garmin® watches have a feature called Battery Saver which will allow you to adjust settings to extend battery life. This can turn certain features off, such as Bluetooth connectivity to a smartphone and wrist heart rate recording, and alter the watch face.
Watch Face Example
If your watch is showing this watch face, Battery Saver has been enabled and may be affecting other features such as not syncing with the Garmin Connect™ app, or no longer receiving notifications from your smartphone. To disable Battery Saver, follow the steps below.
Disabling Battery Saver
- Hold MENU.
- Scroll to or select Settings.
- Select Power Manager.
- Select Battery Saver.
- Press GPS to turn Status to Off or On.
For more information on editing the features for Battery Saver, see your owner's manual.
