Troubleshooting

How to fix Garmin not working

Garmin is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Restart the Garmin Connect app
Force quit the app, then open it again. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom and pause, then swipe the app card up; on Android, open recent apps and swipe the app away. If the app still hangs, move to the next step.
Toggle Bluetooth and re-pair the watch
Bluetooth drops can block sync, so turn it off in your phone's Settings > Bluetooth and turn it back on after a few seconds. On the watch, open Settings > Connectivity > Phone; if it shows disconnected, choose Pair Phone. Keep both devices close while they reconnect.
Sign out of Garmin Connect and back in
Open the app and go to More > Settings > Sign Out. Sign back in with your account, which refreshes the login token if the app shows a blank screen or fails to load your data. This can clear account-side glitches without touching your device pairing.
Remove and re-pair the device
In the app, open More > Garmin Devices and remove your watch. On the watch, open Settings > Connectivity > Phone > Pair Phone, then follow the prompts in the app to add it again. If that fails, check the official status page and the help centre before contacting support.

While Garmin is down: what to use instead

Device-only recording Your watch or bike computer still records activities when the app cannot sync, so start the activity on the device and upload it later.
Strava Strava records runs and rides on your phone when uploads to the service fail.
Komoot For directions when course syncing fails, plan the route in Komoot and follow it on your phone.
Physical bank card If Garmin Pay will not work at a till, pay with the physical card linked to your wallet instead.

Your device

Fix Garmin on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Garmin on Windows

Fix: Ensure the Garmin Express application is updated to the latest version and verify your Garmin device is securely connected via USB. You can also try restarting the Garmin Core Update Service in Windows Services.
Check: Open Garmin Express and check if it displays a connection error, or try accessing the Garmin Connect status page in your web browser. If other websites load but Garmin services fail, the servers are likely down.

Command Prompt

ping garmin.comTest whether Garmin's servers reply

nslookup garmin.comCheck that Garmin's DNS resolves

tracert garmin.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

Garmin on Mac

Fix: Restart Garmin Express and reconnect your Garmin device to a different USB port on your Mac. If issues persist, ensure Garmin Express has the necessary permissions under System Settings.
Check: Verify if the Garmin Connect website loads in Safari or Chrome, and check the official Garmin status dashboard for server outages. If the Garmin Express app fails to sync while your internet is active, it indicates a service issue.

Terminal

ping -c 4 garmin.comTest whether Garmin's servers reply

nslookup garmin.comCheck that Garmin's DNS resolves

traceroute garmin.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

Garmin on Android

Fix: Clear the Garmin Connect app cache in your Android settings and toggle Bluetooth off and on to re-establish the connection with your Garmin watch. If sync issues continue, restart both your phone and Garmin device.
Check: Check the Google Play Store to see if a Garmin Connect app update is available, or look for a red status banner at the top of the app. You can also check the Garmin Status page online.

Garmin on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Force close the Garmin Connect app, toggle Bluetooth off and back on in your iOS Settings, and restart your Garmin device. If syncing still fails, offload and reinstall the app from the App Store.
Check: Look for the red status dot or connection error message next to your device icon in the Garmin Connect iOS app. Alternatively, visit the Garmin Connect status website to check for widespread server outages.

About

What happens when Garmin goes down

Garmin makes GPS watches, bike computers, handhelds and marine gear, and runners, cyclists, hikers and pilots rely on it to record activities and sync data to Garmin Connect. An outage interrupts activity uploads, recent stats, course downloads and live tracking.

Sync often fails first. When the service goes down, the Garmin Connect app may reject your password or show a sync error, and your watch keeps recording but cannot upload the activity. Live tracking can stall, so friends or family may see your last known position instead of your current one. Course downloads and Connect IQ apps may also fail, while other parts of the service still work for you, and problems are often regional or partial, so you might sync a run while someone in another area cannot load a route.

Questions

Garmin FAQ

Is Garmin down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Garmin are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping or monitor the service itself, and it never checks from multiple locations, so it cannot confirm a live outage on its own. The official status page appears above. To tell whether the problem is only on your side, open Garmin Connect on another device or network, sign in, and try a basic sync. If that works, your phone or your local connection likely is the issue; if nothing works there, the problem is probably with the service.

Why does Garmin Connect say sync failed after a workout?

A sync failed message usually means the watch and phone lost their Bluetooth link before the activity uploaded, or the app could not reach the service. Keep the watch close and open the app, then start a manual sync from the watch or the app. If it still fails, unpair the device and pair it again. Check that your phone has not put the app to sleep in battery settings.

Why won't Garmin Pay work in stores?

Garmin Pay depends on your bank supporting the card and on the watch having a valid wallet setup. If the terminal declines the tap, open the wallet on the watch and confirm the card is still there; a bank app update or a card replacement can disable it. You can also try a different terminal or chip card to see if the store's reader is the problem. If the card is missing, add it again in Garmin Connect and complete your bank's verification.

Why does my watch show 'Can't connect to Garmin Connect' when my phone is online?

That message often comes from a broken Bluetooth pairing. It can also appear when the app lacks background permissions, so check those settings before you blame the service. Toggle Bluetooth off and on, then open the app and let it pair with the watch again. If the watch still cannot connect, restart both the watch and the phone.

Does Garmin have an outage when Connect IQ watch faces stop updating?

Connect IQ watch faces can stall for reasons outside a service outage, such as a failed sync or a watch face that needs an update. Open the app, sync the watch, then check the Connect IQ store on the watch or phone for pending updates. If only one watch face fails, remove it and install it again. If every data field freezes, the problem is more likely with the sync or the service.

How we track Garmin

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Garmin, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Garmin, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Garmin's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
