Forcing a sync with Garmin Connect app?

Does anyone know if you can force the watch to sync with the Garmin Connect app (I'm on iOS)?

Like most bluetooth devices the background syncing can stop happening automatically, which is fine - but I have not been able to find out how I can force the watch to synchronise. I've just noticed today that my watch hasn't synced for 2 days.

hit down (bottom left) until controls (enter-top right) then down again until sync (enter-top right).
there have been other issues with Connect on mine so it may not just be lack of syncing of the watch

Thanks so much for that. Now that I look at it that should have seemed really obvious, but it's actually not very intuitive at all. I kept going to activities to get to the settings menu instead!

I don't have an iPhone but an Android...

This post explains what I do when it doesn't connect and sync automatically.
