Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to synchronise this watch via an iPad. I'm using an iPhone but not my iPad. Thank you for your feedback.

It is possible to synchronise the watch with an iPad via the Garmin Connect application, but the watch must be paired directly in the Garmin Connect application, not via the iPad's Bluetooth settings. However, some users are having trouble getting the watch to recognise them on the iPad, even though it is paired with an iPhone. This may be because the Garmin Connect application on iPad does not always detect devices already paired to an iPhone, as the device's data is linked to the Garmin account but not always synchronised between multiple iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad.

To try and synchronise the watch with the iPad, you need to :

- Install and open the Garmin Connect application on the iPad.
- Bring the watch within range (less than 10 metres).
- Turn on the watch and set it to pairing mode (automatically on first start-up or manually using the UP button).
- In the Garmin Connect application on the iPad, add the watch by following the instructions on the screen.

If the watch is already paired with an iPhone, it may be necessary to unpair it from the iPhone before connecting it to the iPad, or to check that the Garmin account used is the same on both devices. Note that data synchronisation between iPhone and iPad via Garmin Connect does not always work smoothly, which may explain why the watch does not appear on the iPad even though it is connected to the iPhone.

In short, synchronisation is possible but sometimes limited or complicated between iPhone and iPad with this watch.
