Factory reset
Important: When you perform a factory reset in MySports Connect, all personal data and settings,
including your export settings for MySports Connect, are deleted from your watch. This action
cannot be undone.
You should only use a factory reset as a last resort to restore your watch or if you really want to
remove all your data and settings.
A factory reset reinstalls the software on your watch and this removes the following:
 Your activities.
 Your settings on the watch.
 Your settings for uploading activities in MySports Connect.
Important: When you perform a factory reset, do not disconnect your watch before MySports
Connect has finished restoring your watch. This takes several minutes. Check any messages shown in
MySports Connect and on your watch before you disconnect your watch.
To perform a factory reset on your watch, follow these steps:
1. Connect your watch to your computer and wait until MySports Connect finishes updating your
watch.
2. Expand SETTINGS in MySports Connect.
3. Click FACTORY RESET at the bottom of MySports Connect.
MySports Connect downloads the latest version of the software for your watch.
4. Keep your watch connected when the window for MySports Connect closes.
