What is Training Readiness?

Training Readiness is a score derived from your sleep quality, recovery, training load, and HRV status. It helps you determine whether it's a good day to push hard with your workout or take a recovery day.

Does the watch have built-in maps?

Troubleshooting

Watch not turning on

Ensure the watch is charged. Connect it to the charger for at least 15 minutes, then try powering it on again. Check if the charging cable and port are clean and functioning correctly.

Pairing issues with smartphone

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Restart both your watch and your smartphone. Remove the watch from your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pair it through the Garmin Connect app.

Inaccurate GPS tracking

Ensure you have a clear view of the sky when starting an activity. Let the GPS acquire signal for a minute before you begin moving. Update the watch software and EPO (Extended Prediction Orbit) data via Garmin Connect.

Heart rate monitor not working

Ensure the watch is snug on your wrist, not too tight or too loose. Clean the sensors on the back of the watch. If wearing a long-sleeved shirt, ensure the watch is over the sleeve, not under it.

Poor battery life

Check settings like screen brightness, always-on display, and notification frequency, as these consume more power. Reduce the use of GPS-intensive activities or disable features not currently in use. Ensure the watch software is up-to-date.
