Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Ensure the device is adequately charged. Connect it to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power it on again. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset by holding down the upper-left button for 15 seconds.
GPS signal is weak or inaccurate
Ensure you have a clear view of the sky, away from tall buildings or dense foliage. Try restarting the device and performing a GPS reset through the settings menu. For diving, GPS is primarily used for surface points and may not be effective underwater.
Dive logs are not syncing to the app
Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and that the Garmin Connect app is open. Ensure the watch is within range of your phone. Try manually syncing by navigating to the sync option in the Garmin Connect app or on the watch.
AMOLED display appears dim
Adjust the display brightness settings in the watch menu. Ensure the battery saver mode is not activated, as it can reduce screen brightness to conserve power.
Heart rate data seems inaccurate
Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about one finger's width above your wrist bone. Clean the sensor on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement during readings if possible, or rely on dedicated sports modes for more accurate tracking during activities.
