Using Celsius on your Garmin Lily ensures consistency and eliminates the need for mental calculations, making it easier to interpret weather data and track your fitness activities.

Navigating the Garmin Connect Mobile App

The key to changing the temperature units on your Garmin Lily lies within the Garmin Connect mobile app. This app acts as your gateway to customizing your smartwatch’s settings and accessing various features.

Connecting Your Garmin Lily

Before you can change the temperature settings, ensure your Garmin Lily is connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Open the Garmin Connect app and verify that your watch is paired and connected. If not, follow the on-screen instructions to connect your watch.

Accessing the Settings Menu

Once your Garmin Lily is connected, navigate to the app’s main menu. You can usually find this by tapping on the icon representing a person or a profile picture. Here, you’ll find a list of options related to your watch and your account.

Locating the Temperature Unit Setting

Within the settings menu, you’ll need to find the section related to your Garmin Lily’s settings. This may be labeled as “Device Settings,” “Watch Settings,” or something similar. Scroll through the list of options until you find a section labeled “Units” or “System Settings.”

Switching to Celsius

Inside the “Units” or “System Settings” section, you’ll find a list of units that can be customized. Locate the option for “Temperature” or “Temperature Units.” Tap on this option, and you’ll be presented with a selection of units. Choose “Celsius” from the list.

After selecting “Celsius,” the app will automatically save your preference. Your Garmin Lily will now display the temperature in Celsius, ensuring a seamless experience for you.

Verifying the Change

To confirm the change, check the temperature display on your Garmin Lily. If you see the temperature in Celsius, you’ve successfully switched the units. You can also check the weather forecast on your watch to verify that it is displaying the temperature in Celsius.

Time for a Refresh

Sometimes, even after changing the settings, your Garmin Lily might need a refresh to update the temperature units. To do this, simply restart your watch by holding down the power button and selecting the “Restart” option. This will ensure that your new settings are applied correctly.

Changing the temperature units is just one way to personalize your Garmin Lily. This smartwatch packs a wealth of features, including activity tracking, sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, and more. Explore the Garmin Connect app to discover all the customization options available for your watch.

With your Garmin Lily displaying the temperature in Celsius, you’ll be better equipped to navigate your day. Whether you’re tracking your fitness goals, staying informed about the weather, or simply enjoying the convenience of a personalized smartwatch, your Garmin Lily will be your reliable companion.
