Acquiring Satellite Signals
The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. The time and date are set automatically
based on the GPS position.
TIP: For more information about GPS, go to garmin.com/aboutGPS.
1Go outdoors to an open area.
The watch should be oriented with 6 o'clock pointing toward the sky.
2Wait while the device locates satellites.
It may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals.
Improving GPS Satellite Reception
Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account:
Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
Sync your watch to the Garmin Dive app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.
Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
Remain stationary for a few minutes.
The temperature reading is not accurate
Your body temperature affects the temperature reading for the internal temperature sensor. To get the most
accurate temperature reading, you should remove the watch from your wrist and wait 20 to 30 minutes.
You can also use an optional tempe external temperature sensor to view accurate ambient temperature
readings while wearing the watch.
Maximizing the Battery Life
You can do several things to extend the life of the battery.
Change the power mode during an activity (Changing the Power Mode, page28).
Turn on the battery saver feature from the controls menu (Viewing the Controls Menu, page2).
Reduce the backlight timeout (Changing the Backlight Settings, page120).
Reduce the backlight brightness.
Use UltraTrac GPS mode for your activity (Changing the GPS Setting, page110).
Turn off Bluetooth technology when you are not using connected features (Connected Features, page48).
When pausing your activity for a longer period of time, use the resume later option (Stopping an Activity,
page29).
Turn off activity tracking (Turning Off Activity Tracking, page79).
Use a watch face that is not updated every second.
For example, use a watch face without a second hand (Customizing the Watch Face, page113).
Limit the smartphone notifications the device displays (Managing Notifications, page49).
Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices (Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin Devices,
page61).
Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor, page62).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.
Turn on manual pulse oximeter readings (Turning Off Automatic Pulse Oximeter Readings, page74).
