- Product-specific troubleshooting
- Manuals and documentation
- Software and map updates
- How-to videos
- Warranty and repair options
- Chat, telephone or email options when available

- Forerunner, fēnix, vívoactive, Venu or Instinct watches
- Edge cycling computers
- Garmin Connect syncing
- Bluetooth pairing
- Charging or battery performance

Before contacting support, sync available activity data, restart the device, update Garmin Connect and note any error messages. Do not publicly post health information, location history, activity routes or screenshots containing private account data.
Garmin Connect and Garmin Express Help
Garmin Connect stores activity and device information, while Garmin Express is commonly used to update, register and manage compatible devices from a computer.

This team handles eligible subscription and billing questions involving services such as inReach, Connext, FltPlan, certain LTE services, Vault, OnDeck, Garmin Connect+ and eligible Tacx subscriptions.
inReach SOS Emergencies
When an eligible inReach device with an active satellite subscription triggers SOS, it connects with Garmin Response, a professionally staffed 24/7 emergency-response coordination center. Garmin Response can communicate with the person in distress, contact appropriate local emergency resources and provide updates while assistance is being coordinated.
Use SOS only for a genuine emergency. After activating SOS, keep the device powered on, maintain a clear view of the sky when possible and respond to messages from Garmin Response.
Learn more through the Garmin Response information page.

Garmin Warranty and Repair Service
Garmin’s general consumer limited warranty states that most non-aviation products are covered against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the purchase date. Garmin may repair the device, replace it with a new or Garmin Recertified device, or provide another remedy permitted by the applicable warranty.
Special warranty terms may apply to:
- Aviation products
