FindMyPhone does not work with PIN on the watch

Forerunner 955 SW 24.12 DFU-6695ea 

When PIN on the watch is enabled, then the only time watch responds to find-my is when it is on the wrist. Responds - meaning watch emits sounds.

When the watch is off the wrist the watch is locked, and only displays PIN screen instead of emitting sound or vibrating.

  • That does not seem to be an issue with the Garmin Connect app, rather with your watch model, since it works as expected with my Instinct3. You may want to post it on the Forerunner 955 forum, or rather report it directly to the Support

  • True, but there is no easy way to post an issue to them. chat ? Phone? Come on

  • Click the link in my previous post - in most regions you can contact the Support in three different ways: phone, chat, and email. And as I wrote, you can also post the issue on the forum for FR955, where there is a slightly higher chance that someone from Garmin notices it. Another possibility is joining the Beta Program, and if the bug still exists with the latest beta version, then submitting a proper bug report on the Beta Program forum, where the chance it reaches the developers is significantly higher.
