Garmin

Gadgetbridge supports some Garmin devices, listed below. It's very likely that other devices are supported, you can try to use Pairing unsupported gadgets to pair an unsupported Garmin watch. If it works, please open an issue or reach out on Matrix so we can enable official support for it.

See the Garmin page for a list of features and issues common to all Garmin watches.

Warning

  • We have noticed that in some cases the Bluetooth traffic contains some bits of information (oauth_token, oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature, ...) that might (potentially, we did not test) grant access to the user's garmin account. Therefore we warn all the users to mind this information when sharing the logs.
  • User data/configuration is unmanaged, which means that whatever was set in the official app will remain untouched, no matter what is set in Gadgetbridge.

It has been reported that this watch sometimes does not advertise the expected bluetooth name, so you might face issues pairing. If Gadgetbridge is unable to find your watch, please try to follow the pairing unsupported gadgets instructions, and select the "Garmin Forerunner 965".

If you face any issues, please open an issue or reach out on Matrix.
