Welcome. In front of me I have Garmin Instinct 2X and I'm going to show you how to pair this watch with the Android phone
0:11
Before we start, you can pair this watch with the Android phone in two ways. The first way is to do it through the setup process of the watch
0:17
So basically if the watch is brand new or it's been reset to the factory default settings
0:22
And the second way is to do it through the settings after the watch has been already set up because you can set it up without pairing it to a phone
0:28
So first I'm going to show you how to do it through the setup process and then I'm going to show you how to do it through the settings
0:34
Okay, let's continue. So let's turn on our watch by pressing and holding the control button
0:40
Keep holding it until you see the logo on the screen. Once you see the logo, you can release the button and wait until the watch turns on
0:47
And after the watch turns on, you will see the list of languages
0:55
And after the watch turns on, you will see the list of languages on the screen if the watch is brand new or it's been reset to the factory default settings
1:03
You can scroll from this list by pressing the up and down buttons
1:07
select the language you would like to use on your watch, and once you selected, press the GPS button to confirm
1:12
And as you can see, now we're being asked if you want to pair our watch with a phone. We want to do that, so press the GPS button to confirm, and the watch would enter the pairing mode
1:21
That's how it looks like. Now we need to download and install the Garmin Connect application on our phone
1:27
So make sure you have the internet connection and Bluetooth enabled. Once you do, open the Google Play Store
1:36
tap on search and type in Garmin Connect. And then tap on search
1:50
And you should see this application on the list. Garmin connect by Garmin. Tap on the install button to download and install it
2:02
Okay and once the application is done on installing tap on the open button to open it
2:11
Once the application opens, you will see this page. Basically, we need to login into a Garmin Connect account
2:17
If you don't have an account, tap on Create Account button and make new one. I already have one, so I'm going to tap on Sign In, check the box, and then tap on Next
2:26
Now I'm going to enter the email address. the email, address and password
2:34
And then I'm going to tap on next. If you see this pop up about the permissions
2:44
tap on allow access, and then tap on allow. And the app should detect your watch automatically
2:54
Once it does, tap on connected, allow. Now, if you see this pop-up, tap on Per
3:09
Now tap on Next. Here we can set up a sleeping schedule, basically
3:16
So if you want to use a feature like do not disturb mode during sleep, you can tap on edit right here
3:22
and basically set the time on which you go to bed, and the time on which you wake up
3:26
And you can do it by tapping right here. Set the bedtime. then the wake time
3:34
And then you can also check or uncheck the days on which the schedule should be active
3:40
And then you can tap on save and then tap on next. Right here we can set up our goals like steps, calories burned, water intake and stuff like that
3:51
If you want to do it, tap on edit goals right here and basically edit the values
3:56
Or you can keep the default goals by tapping on. keep default goals. I'm going to tap on edit calls and here we can change the values as you can see
4:05
So adjust this to your liking and tap next Right here we have notification access This is required if you want to receive the notifications from your phone on your watch If you don care you can tap on skip and keep it disabled
4:18
If you want to use it, tap on allow notification access and tap on allow. Next we have the location permission
4:23
This is useful if you want to track your exercises and stuff like that on the map
4:29
If you don't care, you can tap on skip and keep it disabled. If you want to use the feature, tap on allow
4:36
It will redirect you here. Tap on permissions. Tap on location and tap on allow and then go back to the app
4:47
Next we have the calendar access. This is useful if you want to access the calendar on your watch
4:52
and basically see the events and stuff like that on your watch. If you don't care, you can tap on skip, of course, to keep it disabled
4:59
Next we have the call lock access. This is required if you want to see who's calling you on your phone
5:05
and stuff like that, notifications about the calls. If you don't care, you can tap on skip and skip
5:10
The same for the phone call access. Skip it or deny it. SMS
5:17
And once you've done with the permissions, you can tap on sync now. Okay, and once you see this page, tap on Finish
5:31
Then you can go through the tutorial how to use our watch. I'm going to tap on Skip and finish
5:35
and you should see the main page of the app. On it, you should see the icon of your watch
5:41
which means that the device is connected with your phone. You can also tap on more garment devices
5:48
And here you should see your instinct 2X solar, which means that devices are paired together
5:54
Now I'm going to remove it, and we're going to pair it through the settings. So we'll remove the watch
6:00
Like that. Okay, and now let's pair it through the settings. I not going to reinstall the app and anything like that because that would be a lot of time wasted I just going to enter the pairing mode on our watch So if you have the watch that is already set up and you want to enter the pairing mode press and hold the menu button
6:24
Once the mini opens, scroll through it and find the option called the phone
6:30
Once you find it selected, and then press the GPS button, then scroll down, find the per phone option
6:37
and tap on, or rather press the GPS button to enter. It will enter the pairing mode
6:42
Now open the application. Garmin Connect application, of course. In the app, you can tap on the plus button right here or tap on more
6:51
Garmin devices and tap on app device. Then tap on connected and basically follow the same steps as we did before
7:00
So allow the permissions, pair. And then you can deal with the permissions after that set up the sleeping time, schedules
7:08
and the goals and stuff like that. Then tap next. Here we can set up the schedules for the sleeping goals
7:28
Then we can tap on sync now. I'm not going to tap on skip sync, never mind
7:32
Let's wait until it's done sinking. Okay, it seems like it won't sync this time, so I'm going to tap on skip sync and tap on okay
7:46
Tap on skip here, finish. And the watch will appear right here on the tap, and also it will appear on the devices page
7:57
which means that devices are paired together. Okay, and that's how you pair this watch with the Android phone
