Watch Self-Test
Run a quick diagnostic of your Garmin's sensors and hardware in one pass. The app auto-checks the sensors, then asks a few yes/no questions for the things software can't sense itself — vibration, speaker, backlight — and gives you a clear passed / total report with any problems highlighted. Handy before buying or selling a used watch, or after a repair.

One pass, a clear verdict
Sensors, automatically
Heart rate, GPS, barometer, compass, accelerometer and more are checked on their own — the app waits for a valid reading, no fiddling required.
The hands-on bits
For vibration, speaker and backlight the app gives a stimulus and asks yes/no — because only you can tell whether you felt the buzz.
Built for your model
The test list is assembled from the hardware your watch actually has, so a missing sensor isn't counted as a failure.
Buying or selling used?
Confirm everything works in a couple of minutes — a quick, honest health check for a second-hand watch.
Works on 108 Garmin watches
Built for Garmin wrist devices on Connect IQ; the test list adapts to the sensors and hardware your model actually has.
