Welcome

In front of me I have Garmin for a runner 245 and I'm going to show you how to pair this watch with the iPhone
0:12
Before we start, you can pair this watch with an iPhone in two ways
0:16
The first way is to do it during the setup process of the watch. So basically if the watch is brand new or it's been reset to the factory default settings
0:24
and the second way is to do it through the settings once the watch has been already set up
0:30
First I'm going to show you how to do it during the setup process and then I'm going to show you how to do it through the settings
0:36
Okay, so the first thing we need to do is to turn on the watch
0:41
You can turn it on by pressing and holding the light button. Keep holding it for a couple seconds
0:46
Then you will see the logo on the screen and once you see it, you can release the button and wait until the watch turns on
0:53
And after the watch turns on and it's brand new or it's been reset to the factory default settings
0:57
you will see the list of languages on the screen. can scroll through this list by pressing the up and down buttons
1:04
Now select the language you would like to use on your watch. And once you select it, press the start slash stop button to enter
1:11
And as you can see, after we select the language, we are being asked if you want to pair
1:16
the watch with a phone. We want to do it, so select yes and then press the start slash stop
1:21
And once you select yes, you will see that the watch entered the pairing mode
1:26
Basically you have this animation on the screen and it tells you to download the
1:29
application on your phone. So let's open the App Store on our iPhone or before that
1:36
make sure that you have the internet and Bluetooth enabled. Once you do open the
1:42
App Store on your iPhone. In the App Store, tap on the App Store, tap on the search
1:52
icon right here, then tap on the search bar and type in Garmin
2:00
connect, then tap on search, scroll through the list of applications. You should see this one, Garmin Connect by Garmin with this icon, tap on it to select it
2:12
then tap on the get button to download and install the application
2:20
And after the application is done installing, you can tap on the open button to open it
2:30
After you open the application, you might get this pop-up on the screen about the Bluetooth permission
2:35
tap on OK to allow it because the Bluetooth permission is required And once you done you will see the main page of the app or the home page And here we need to login or create a new account
2:48
If you don't have an account, tap on create account button to make a new one. If you do have an account, tap on sign in to login
2:55
I'm going to tap on sign in, check the box, tap on next
3:00
And now I'm going to enter the email and password. And then we can tap on the next button to login
3:13
After you log in, you will be asked to allow or deny some more permissions, like notifications, for example
3:22
This permission is required if you want to receive the notifications from your iPhone on the watch
3:27
So if you want to do it, allow it. If you don't care, you can deny it
3:31
I'm going to allow it. And once you're done with the permissions, you will see that the app detected your watch automatic
3:35
watch automatically or it should. If it doesn't, try to turning off the watch
3:41
and turning it back on and then entering the pairing mode again or exiting the pairing mode and
3:46
entering it again to basically refresh the pairing mode. And it should help
3:53
And once the app detects your watch, tap on the connected button
3:58
Then enter the code from the watch on your phone. and tap on pair
4:12
You can again allow ordinate the permission for the notifications. Then tap on next
4:20
Here we can set up the bedtime. Basically it's useful if you want to use the bedtime mode or do not disturb mode during the sleep time
4:32
Basically if you set the bed time, basically if you set the bed time, time, let's say between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m., the watch will automatically turn on the
4:41
Duna Dister mode during that time, and all the notifications will be silenced on your watch
4:47
so it won't wake you up. And to set the bedtime and wake time, simply tap on the borders
4:52
right here or the boxes and set it to your liking by swiping up and down, like that
5:00
And once you're done, you can tap on next, and you can tap on yes if you want to turn on
5:05
on the do not disturb mode during sleep or no to turn it off
5:08
I'm going to tap on yes. Here we can agree to send the recent training data to our new device
5:15
I going to select no and tap on next And now we can allow the permission for the location This one is required if you want to track your training sessions like cycling running and stuff like that
5:28
If you don't care, you can deny the location permission. I'm just going to allow it and tap on allow while using the app
5:34
If you want to deny the permission, you need to tap on the skip button right here or tap on don't allow
5:40
I'm going to tap on allow. Next we have the calendar permission
5:45
So if you want to get the notifications about the events and stuff like that from your calendar on your watch
5:52
you need to allow this permission. If you don't care, you can tap on skip to keep it disabled or tap on don't allow
6:01

6:06

6:25
and you can select the location there and then tap on Gallid
6:29
and now you should see the home page of the app or my day page
6:34
as you can see we got another pop-up about the permissions if you see this you can allow
6:39
or deny the permission to write and read the data about the health features
6:46
like heart rate and stuff like that. So if you want to use some features, you need to allow the permission for it
6:52
If you don't care, you can keep it disabled. I'm going to just tap on turn on all
6:56
and tap on allow, but you can tap on don't allow if you want to. Okay, and once you've downloaded the permissions
