In front of me, I have Garmin for a runner 745, and I'm going to show you how to enable the phone
0:07
notifications for this watch on the Android phone. Basically, if you want to receive the notifications from your phone on your watch
0:18
If you want to receive the notifications from your phone on your watch, your watch needs to be paired
0:23
with your phone via the Garmin Connect application. Once the devices are paired together, we can continue
0:30
And now we need to make sure that the required permissions are allowed for the Garmin Connect application and your phone to send the notifications to the watch
0:38
So, first, open the settings on your phone and settings. Scroll down
0:48
Find the option called apps and tap on it. Here, scroll down and find the option called Special App Access
0:58
selected and now find the option called device and app notifications this is the Android
1:06
12 I believe so for the Android 12 and above you will see this option here device and
1:14
app notifications but I believe in the older versions of Android it's going to be called
1:19
special app not that special app access it's going to be called notification access so
1:26
So in the special app access39, look for the device and app notifications or for notification access
1:32
Once you find them, tap on the option to open this menu, and here we have the list of applications
1:37
And as you can see, we have allowed and not allowed. Find the Garmin Connect
1:42
It's probably going to be on the not allowed list. If it is tap on it tap on the switch tap on allow to allow the notification access And once you done it should appear on the allowed list right here and now we can close the settings now let find the Garmin Connect icon present hold on it tap on app info to
2:06
open the app info for our Garmin Connect tap on the permissions option and here we need to allow
2:12
couple of permissions for the notifications to work first we need to allow the phone and
2:19
a call logs. So if you want to receive the notification, or notifications rather, about the calls
2:26
and stuff like that, you need to allow the phone and call logs. So tap on the phone, tap on allow
2:33
tap on call logs, tap on allow. If you want to receive notifications about messages, SMS messages
2:40
you need to tap on SMS, allow it. And next we have the calendar. You can allow it if you want to
2:48
receive the notifications from the calendar. Then we have contacts if you want to see the
2:52
contact information. And then we have the notifications option. You can allow it or deny it
3:00
Okay. And once you're done, you can close the settings. And now we can open the Garmin Connect application
3:09
After you open the application, you probably will see the My Day page
3:14
Now tap on the menu icon to open the menu. Scroll down, tap on GarminConnect
3:18
many devices, select you for R-Hunter-745. Scroll down, find the option called sounds and alerts, tap on it, select smart notifications
3:34
and here we can customize the settings for our notifications. We have options like general use during activity and timeout
3:42
General use it basically allows you to change how the notifications behave during the normal usage of the watch So when you not tracking any timed activity And next we have during activity is basically when you using your watch and you recording or tracking the activity like running biking stuff like that
4:04
And the timeout is basically how quickly the notifications disappear from the screen when they pop up
4:09
Okay, let's tap on general use first. And here, as you can see, we have a couple options
4:13
We have show privacy and alert or privacy rather. tap on show first, and here you can select which types of notifications should pop out on your watch
4:25
And you have all, calls and texts only, calls only and off. I'm going to select all
4:30
Next we have the privacy, and here you can select off, press start and gesture
4:35
This option, basically, when it's enabled, it will hide the content of the notifications
4:40
and you will need to, for example, press the start button to display it or perform the gesture to display it
4:46
So select the option you like. Next we have the alert, and here you can select the type of the alerts
4:51
And you have tones, which is a sound, beep, vibration, which the watch will vibrate
4:56
and tones and vibration is basically both. I'm going to select this option and go back
5:01
Tap on during activity, customize it like this. And then we can tap on timeout and select the duration, for example, medium
5:14
And once you're done customizing the settings, you can close the app. this point we should be able to receive the notifications on our watch so I'm
5:24

5:59
Log in. Log in. Now we can send ourselves, or I can send ourselves
6:14
I can send myself a message on Discord. We should have the notifications, so let's allow it
6:38
Try again. This time we got the notification on our phone. on our phone and also on the watch
6:46
As you can see. And if you miss the notifications on your watch, you can use the up and down buttons to
