BATTERY, WATER RESISTANCE, AND CARE
Learn how GPS use, Always-On Display, brightness, Pulse Ox, workouts, notifications, vibration, music, calls, and syncing affect battery life.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Find checks for failed pairing, lost Bluetooth connection, failed sync, slow GPS, missing notifications, call problems, wrong time, weather issues, inaccurate readings, charging difficulty, fast battery drain, app errors, or display issues.
