Mislaid JR2 - anyway to trigger a noise remotely

dtunney over 4 years ago

My daughter has put hers "somewhere safe" around the house.

Is there a way to trigger some sort of noise so it can be found? Paired to smartphone.

One option, although not sure on how successful it will be>

1) Go into the room where the watch might be

2) Go into Garmin Connect Jr on phone and set an alarm for the watch (e.g. add chore and include an alarm).

3) Wait to see if watch syncs to phone (I find my kid's JR2 will sync itself to phone without me triggering it, but not sure whether this happens ad-hoc or each hour or what....). You may need to keep your phone in the room for a few hours

4) If watch syncs then wait for vibrating alarm to go off.

I had a similar issue just last week but luckily already had an alarm set so we were eventually able to track down where it was in the house. The above may not work though through a "passive sync"
