Garmin has recently brought a feature to many of its watches that Apple Watch users have been able to enjoy for a while: A device passcode, so you can lock your data when your watch isn’t on your wrist. The feature is now available to users of recent Enduro, Fenix, Forerunner, Lily, Tactix, Venu, and Vivoactive watches.
Garmin Vívoactive 6 $299.99 at Amazon Get Deal Get Deal $299.99 at AmazonRecent software updates add the ability to lock your entire watch, not just the wallet. Here’s how to turn it on:
Select System
Once you've set a passcode, you’ll have the option for “On” or “Wallet only.” Select “On” if you want to have to enter the passcode each time you put your watch on.
What you can and can’t do with a Garmin passcode
With the passcode enabled, you’ll have to punch in your code when you put your watch on, but otherwise things will work as usual—for you.
The watch face is visible as usual
If an activity was running when you took the watch off, it will remain running
The flashlight and emergency assistance shortcuts still work
The glances (data you reach by scrolling down from the watch face) are locked
The activity menu is locked, so you can’t start a new activity
Everything else that might be on that menu, like your wallet, timers, find my phone, etc.—all are missing.
Garmin lists these watches as passcode-capable, so long as you have the most recent software update installed, and you have the most recent version of the Garmin Connect app:
Fenix 8 (AMOLED or Solar) and Fenix E
Instinct 3, 3 Tactical, and E (according to this chart)
Tactix 8
Vivoactive 5 and 6
