Garmin Connect will not stay connected to the watches

A common fix is to remove the device from both Garmin Connect and the phone’s Bluetooth list, then pair it fresh.

• Verify you're on the latest Garmin Connect for iOS (5.26.2 as of July 8, 2026)
• Then go to More > Garmin Devices > select your watch (if it exists) > 3‑dot menu > Remove Device
• On your iPhone go to Settings > Bluetooth > under My Devices tap the info button next to the watch > Forget This Device
• Restart the phone and the watch
• Put the watch back into pairing mode (Connectivity > Phone > Pair Phone)
• Open Garmin Connect and add the device again
