Training
Unified Training Status
When you use more than one Garmin device with your Garmin Connect account, you can choose which device is
the primary data source for everyday use and for training purposes.
From the Garmin Connect app, select
> Settings.
Primary Training Device: Sets the priority data source for training metrics like your training status and load
focus.
Primary Wearable: Sets the priority data source for daily health metrics like steps and sleep. This should be the
watch you wear most often.
TIP: For the most accurate results, Garmin recommends that you sync often with your Garmin Connect account.
Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements
You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your quatix watch using
your Garmin Connect account. This allows your watch to more accurately reflect your training and fitness. For
example, you can record a ride with an Edge
®
bike computer, and view your activity details and recovery time on
your quatix watch.
Sync your quatix watch and other Garmin devices to your Garmin Connect account.
TIP: You can set a primary training device and primary wearable in the Garmin Connect app (

Recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your quatix watch.
