Fenix 5x issues

Former Member over 5 years ago

There is no Garmin Pay option in Connect even though it may the 5x supports this
I cant connect my bluetooth headphones as there is no 'music' tab in setting ad the instructions say there should be
Connect IQ only shows Spotify online not on the app and when trying to use it, its says the device isn't compatible even when the 5X is on the compatible list on the same page

Any help with these would be greatly appreciated

1. 5x HW does not support Garmin Pay, it was discussed here: https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-5-series/133922/garmin-pay

2. 5x HW does not support direct headphones connection, only control of music play from mobile

3. I guess for the same reason as 2 above, but never tried / tested myself

hope it helps

5x doesn't support Garmin pay.. .

5x can control the music on your phone......(but cannot store music)

You can't pair headphones to the 5x...( you can pair them to your phone whilst still controlling your music with the watch .. )

No music apps are compatible with the 5x in the IQ store.....

You shouldn't be seeing the 5x as compatible .. . If you are it is a mistake unfortunately....

In the Fenix range.. . .only the 5 plus and 6 series have the abilities you are after.

Thanks for the replies, so it would seem every time I'm googling for the 5X, I'm getting results for the 5X Plus and so my recent purchase doesn't do everything I thought it could.

Its a bit bloody late to work that out though - looks like I'll be carry my phone all the time still after all
