Hi. I'm new to garmin.

I notice there is version 4.7 software update. Mine is still at 4.0

But I cannot find any option to update in garmin connect and the watch.

This device doesn't support garmin express as I do not own any ANT dongle for PC

How do I update the firmware for vivomove style?

The device does support Garmin Express - connects via charging cable. You can update from there. Otherwise the watch will update via mobile app.

Thanks for the reply!

I see. Probably my charging wire is spoiled. It doesn't connect. How do I prompt the update via mobile app?

I don't think you can force the update via mobile app. If it's connected it will update automatically. Are you trying Garmin Express on Windows or Mac? On a Windows PC the watch should appear as an external…

I see.. It doesn't appear on Garmin Express, nor as an external disk. Probably my PC or wire problem.

I think I'll just let the Garmin Connect Mobile app do its job then. Also, mine is the ASIA version. Just realized that the update is 2-3 updates slower. :(

Thanks a lot for your help!
