Customize Garmin watch settings for optimal performance

When you get a new Garmin watch, there are five key steps to take for optimal use. First, select your favorite workouts by accessing the Workout section and adding activities like running, lifting, or yoga. Next, customize Hot Key shortcuts for quick access to features like alarms and music controls. Then, edit your Glances to include useful widgets, removing those you don’t need. Load your favorite running routes using the Create Courses tool in Garmin Connect. Finally, visit the ConnectIQ store to download apps that enhance your watch experience, tailored to your interests.
