Adjust power manager settings. Disable `Pulse Ox` tracking during sleep, reduce display brightness or timeout, turn off `Always On Display`, disable `Wi-Fi` when not syncing, and limit frequent use of GPS or music playback. Ensure no apps are running in the background unnecessarily.

Ensure you are in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Check that `multi-band GPS` is enabled in your activity settings. Update your watch software via `Garmin Connect` or `Garmin Express` as satellite data updates are included in these. If indoors, move to an open outdoor space.

Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on both your phone and watch, and they are paired. Check notification permissions for the `Garmin Connect` app on your phone. Ensure `Smart Notifications` are enabled in the `Garmin Connect` app settings and on the watch itself (`Settings` > `Phone` > `Notifications`). Restart both your phone and watch.

Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist, about two finger-widths above your wrist bone, not too tight or too loose. Clean the optical sensor on the back of the watch. Avoid excessive movement of the watch during activities. If issues persist, consider using an external `ANT+` or `Bluetooth` chest strap heart rate monitor for increased accuracy during intense workouts.

Confirm that your watch is properly connected to your phone via Bluetooth for calls (not just data sync). Check the volume settings on your watch. Ensure that the microphone and speaker holes are not blocked by debris. Restart your watch and phone. If the issue is with the voice assistant, ensure your phone's voice assistant is properly configured.
