To remove your Garmin watch, typically meaning unpairing it from your Garmin Connect app and account, you can follow a simple process within the mobile application.
Removing a device from your Garmin Connect account is a straightforward task often done when you are selling, giving away, or troubleshooting your watch. This action disconnects the watch from your personal data and allows it to be paired with another account.
Steps to Remove Your Garmin Device
Based on the standard procedure using the Garmin Connect app, here are the steps to unpair your watch:
- Open the Garmin Connect App: Launch the application on your smartphone or tablet.
- Select More: Tap the "More" option, usually located in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Select Garmin Devices: From the menu that appears, choose "Garmin Devices."
- Select the Device: Find and tap on the specific Garmin watch or device you wish to remove from the list.
- Select Menu/Options: Look for a menu or options icon, typically represented by three dots, usually found in the top right corner. Tap this icon.
- Select Remove Device: From the options presented, select "Remove Device."
- Confirm Removal: A confirmation prompt will appear. Confirm that you want to remove the device from your account.
Once confirmed, your Garmin watch will be unpaired from your Garmin Connect account. You may then need to factory reset the watch itself if you are selling or giving it away to erase all personal data stored on the device (this step is separate from removing it from the app).
