Garmin Connect
Your Garmin Connect account allows you to track your performance and connect with your friends. It gives you
the tools to track, analyze, share, and encourage each other. You can record the events of your active lifestyle,
including runs, walks, rides, swims, hikes, golf games, and more.
You can create your free Garmin Connect account when you pair your watch with your phone using the Garmin
Connect app. You can also create an account when you set up the Garmin Express application (
).
Store your activities: After you complete and save a timed activity with your watch, you can upload that activity
to your Garmin Connect account and keep it as long as you want.
Analyze your data: You can view more detailed information about your fitness and outdoor activities, including
time, distance, heart rate, calories burned, cadence, an overhead map view, and pace and speed charts.
You can view more detailed information about your golf games, including scorecards, statistics, and course
information. You can also view customizable reports.
NOTE: To view some data, you must pair an optional wireless sensor with your watch (
).
Track your progress: You can track your daily steps, join a friendly competition with your connections, and meet
your goals.
Share your activities: You can connect with friends to follow each other's activities or share links to your
activities.
Manage your settings: You can customize your watch and user settings on your Garmin Connect account.
