Watch is not starting up for the first time, do I have to fully charge it before the first usage? is there any led indicator for being charging?

Yes, youll have to charge it up before use. The light goes from red to green ehen charging.

I started when I received and welcomed me, then I put it to charge and several hours and I had no problem then ..

My son played around with it for a few months. Does not hold a charge very long. If I remember correctly, sometimes, he had to pop the battery out for a few minutes, then try re-charging again. Also, you have to be careful with the charger connector. It has to be oriented the right way.

hi karim... after you connect your charging cable to your phone/watch,you should see on your watch monitor that charging is in progress.IF this is not happening, then the watch probably has either a defective battery or the charger is defective.IF SO ...RETURN IT TO THE VENDOR.this is probably why the watch is not turning on. I HOPE THAT THIS WAS HELPFUL. (GOOD LUCK)...leo.

Your watch may need a new battery or it is dying. My first watch acted similarly. I just bought another one just like it because I like the heart monitor feature.

Mine turned on the first time just fine, but after that it had to be plugged into a computer in order to be turned on regardless of charge status. I sent it back because of that.

Bonnie, obviously you must have a defective watch. I have two of them and they both work fine after 6 months to a year. Good luck to you. Smile

The watch comes with a proprietary USB cable intended for charging and uploading your workouts. In theory you could probably charge the watch by connecting the proprietary USB cable to a USB To AC Adapter. It might void the warranty, though. I would consult the Garmin website first.

brand new? make sure you charged the battery at least 2 hours before trying to start it...

It comes with a charging cable and a charging dock. The charger does not plug into the watch itself.

Hi there, you need to pair the belt and the device. Go to settings, by pressing the middle button in for couple of seconds, then choose pair and hold the belt next to the watch. If this does not work, take the battery out of the strap, insert the battery upside down into the strap and and pair it again.

i purchased mine this year and no problems with the battery so far, just after every round you play it has to be recharged , now if your just wearing the watch as an every day watch then the battery what i read will last up to 8 moths without a charge but i'm sure there's a 800# you can call if you feel the battery is bad

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

I've had TONS of issues with charging. The charging nodes corrode fairly easily (on the charging cradle, not the watch itself) and the 610 has a nasty habit of DE-charging when plugged in (e.g., you will see it go from 90% to 85%...etc.)

Same problem with me as well. Fully charged the night before long trail runs, the 1st time it stopped at 6:10, the 2nd time 5:52, much shorter than the 8:00 advertised! The battery life was one of the main reason I bought this watch...

I don't know why but the most important thing is does it start. I've gone through an entire season with just 2 charges so if it starts I wouldn't worry about the charging indicator

Make sure it is fully charged before you turn it on. Mine worked for only a few weeks though.

Did you make sure it was fully charged before you wore it? You can email customer service too, and they will get back to you within a day
