How do I sync. watch time with GPS. I only see the sync. with phone option
Start a GPS activity like walking or running and wait for a GPS lock. It should then be synced.
Thanks, but will it overrule the sync with the phone then. ?
I have a approx 7 sec. lack with phone and hope a sync with GPS will solve this. ??
I doubt it, as soon as it syncs to the phone it will likely sync time as well. I've seen people comment about this 7 second or whatever it is time error but have never cared enough to notice
Press down arrow while the time is syncing with GPS (if you are using the sync time control or menu option, not doing a GPS activity) and it will change to sync with phone
Out of curiosity, I just did a time sync via GPS using the menu, and then with phone also using menu. There does appear to be a few seconds lag either way. Not a big deal for me but I can see some people being bothered by it.
Well I am not bothered about a few sec, but the questions is why there should be a lag
Garmin should be able to this right.
Other watchmakers can do it. All the data to do this it is available, I believe
I don't disagree
Menu > System > Time > Time Sync
When it says ‘syncing via phone’ you’ll see some small text at the bottom of the screen that says to press down for GPS.
Pressing down on this screen will change the sync mode from phone sync to gps sync. and if you’re on gps sync, it will change to phone sync.
You get to the menu initially by holding the up button. You can scroll through the menu with the up and down buttons.
I'm seeing a 7 second lag whether I sync with phone or GPS. This is not the case with my F5, F5+, or even F3. WTH?
