My garmin won't connect to My new mobile tried all troubleshooting no joy help please

My old mobile was smashed unable to ever turn it on again lost all contacts apps etc

Ok. Then that is not the issue here.

Have you removed the watch from bluetooth devices in this new phone? You should only use the app Garmin Connect to add the watch. Make sure you allowed all permissions to the Connect app.

Thank you Andy for all above tried all and still no luck .

If you've literally followed all of the steps in this post, and the 2 videos, and still cannot connect your Venu SQ, contact Garmin Support via phone or chat.

Just to clarify, was it different from this?

On your Garmin device place into "pairing mode." Differs per device, but on newer devices it's Menu >> Connectivity >> Phone >> Pair Phone to manually enter pairing mode.
