Cannot connect S4 Approach golf watch to iPhone Connect app

Hello

Whilst I've connected my S4 watch to my iPhone to use the notifications functionality on the watch I am unable to connect the watch to the Connect app to upload my scorecards etc.

Maybe an update is needed on the watch??

Very frustrating as the watch connects to the phone no problem via Bluetooth - just not the Connect App.

Anyone else experience this and or overcome it?

    Garmin Connect not paring with S4

    I have the same problem. Seems that I can get my IPhone 5S to pair with the S4 using the Bluetooth Setup on the IPhone. But when I try to get the Garmin Connect software to see the device it cannot. I have also tried to remove the S4 using the Bluetooth menu on the phone and then connect using software. Either way, the Connect program cannot see the S4.

    It would be nice to track my scores.

  • I can't get mine to connect either.

    Pairs perfectly with iPhone 4S but shows as 'Disconnected' in the devices section on the app.

    Hi, did somebody already found out what the issue is? I have the same problem 😞

    Thanks and happy Easter
  • Garmin is poor all round for golf so i'm taking my watch back.

    And the customer service teams are awful and don't seem to understand fundamental questions.

    Once I downloaded Garmin Express to my PC, the watch showed up in Connect.
  • Same for me. Cannot pair my S4 Approach.

    I have the same issue cannot connect to Garmin connect or express does anyone know of an alternative software to use. Why do they keep making new versions of the watch when this software does not work.

    I'm thinking about doing the same thing why pay the extra money for this watch if you cannot use the features, I cannot believe all the bad comments here I have not found anyone that can connect and view there stats and courses.

    Hi, I think you have to use the charging cable and connect to a mac or PC using that. Then download the connect software, works well, keeps my scores (sadly) . I dont think it works over a phone connection, that's just for bluetooth to get mail and texts.
