Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire Edition is straightforward.
Initial Setup:
- Charge Your Watch: Before first use, fully charge your watch using the supplied charging cable. Connect the cable to a USB power source.
- Power On: Press and hold the top right button (Action button) until the Garmin logo appears.
- Initial Configuration: Follow the on-screen prompts to select your language, pair with your smartphone, and set up your profile.
- Pair with Garmin Connect App: Download the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone (iOS or Android). Open the app, create an account if you don't have one, and follow the instructions to pair your watch.
Compatibility:
- The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 is compatible with both iOS (Apple) and Android smartphones via the Garmin Connect mobile app.
- Synchronization requires Bluetooth connectivity on your smartphone.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean your watch, especially the sensors on the back, with a damp cloth to prevent build-up from sweat and dirt. For the silicone strap, wash it with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the watch is completely dry before charging.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant up to 100 meters, rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water to prevent residue build-up. Avoid pressing buttons underwater as this can compromise the seal.
- Charging: Use only the original Garmin charging cable. Do not expose the charging port to water or moisture during charging.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
