Headphones not selectable on the connection selection?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, just unpacked my first Vivoactive. All instructions say that it should have a menu item called headphones under sensors and accessories; but I can't find it?

Any recommendations?

Do you see "Add New?"

Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add New > Headphones.

I'm sorry, but It's not clear to me which device you actually have. There are 2 different vivoactive 3 models

Then you can see "Headphones" after that? Also, if you don't have vivoactive 3 Music, then headphones won't be an option.

That's just it - I don't see "headphones" after clicking add new... says onthaline about vivoactive Music that t "This new version of the vivoactive 3 comes with one significant change and it’s, you guessed it, the ability to add your own music to the local storage on the watch".. So if music options are already available (I could activate Spotify) so I don't see the purpose without headphones..

vivoactive 3 - it can control the music on your phone, but does not have any method or storage for music on the watch itself. You can't pair headphones directly to the watch. You pair the headphones to your smartphone - https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/571520

vivoactive 3 music - pair your headphones directly to your watch and store music on the phone and do not need your smartphone during your activities - https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/602068
