Garmin Connect

Garmin Connect is an Android smartphone app that lets you control and synchronize information from your accessory.

Sport

The program is aimed at people who are engaged in a certain type of sport or prefer an active lifestyle. Connecting to a branded watch significantly expands its functionality. You can not only copy important data, but also save them in the form of history, as well as display them in an easy-to-understand form. Many parameters are automatically saved. You can find out the number of steps for a certain period, regardless of whether it was a full-fledged workout or just a trip to the store. There are built-in algorithms for quick analysis of the data received. You can increase motivation by planning runs with certain distances in advance, saving personal achievements in a special table. In this direction, the developers went even further - achievements can be used to compare with the records of other users using a similar service. This allows you to organize full-fledged competitions with the display of the leaderboard.

Connection

To work with the application, your watch must be a Garmin. At the first launch you need to create an account or pass authorization if it was created earlier. Next, you need to manually select a watch model. This can be done by searching in the desired category or by explicitly specifying the model in the search bar. Next, the application will go into scanning mode, fixing devices in the area of availability. If the watch has been detected, the system will issue a request to connect to it. At this stage, you need to add a PIN-code and wait for a message about synchronization completion. After pairing, the program will unload all the stored data from the device to the smartphone and continue tracking in the normal mode.
