Swing Tempo

The swing tempo app helps you perform a more consistent
swing. The device measures and displays your backswing time
and downswing time. The device also displays your swing
tempo. Swing tempo is the backswing time divided by the

®

Swing Tempo 3

downswing time, expressed in a ratio. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is
the ideal swing tempo based on studies of professional golfers.

The Ideal Swing Tempo

You can achieve the ideal 3.0 tempo using different swing
timings, for example, 0.7 sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./0.4 sec.
Each golfer may have a unique swing tempo based on their
ability and experience. Garmin provides six different timings.

The device displays a graph that indicates if your backswing or
downswing times are too fast, too slow, or just right for the
selected timing.

Timing choices (backswing to downswing time ratio)

À

Á

Downswing time

To find your ideal swing timing, you should start with the slowest
timing and try it for a few swings. When the tempo graph is
consistently green for both your backswing and downswing
times, you can move up to the next timing. When you find a
timing that is comfortable, you can use it to achieve more
consistent swings and performance.

Indoor Activities

The Approach S60 device can be used for training indoors, such
as running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike. GPS is
turned off for indoor activities.

When running or walking with GPS turned off, speed, distance,
and cadence are calculated using the accelerometer in the
device. The accelerometer is self-calibrating. The accuracy of
the speed, distance, and cadence data improves after a few
outdoor runs or walks using GPS.

TIP: Holding the handrails of the treadmill reduces accuracy.
You can use an optional foot pod to record pace, distance, and
cadence.

When cycling with GPS turned off, speed and distance are not
available unless you have an optional sensor that sends speed
and distance data to the device (such as a speed or cadence
sensor).

Outdoor Activities

The Approach S60 device comes preloaded with apps for
outdoor activities, such as running and biking. GPS is turned on
for outdoor activities. You can add apps using default activities,
such as cardio or rowing.

ANT+ Sensors

Your device can be used with wireless ANT+ sensors. For more
information about compatibility and purchasing optional sensors,
go to http://buy.garmin.com.

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or
install the sensor.

Pairing is the connecting of ANT+ wireless sensors, for example,
connecting a heart rate monitor with your Garmin device.

Bring the device within range (3 m) of the sensor.

1

NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while

pairing.
Select > Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Add New.

2

Select a sensor.

3

When the sensor is paired with your device, a message
appears. You can customize a data field to display sensor
data.

Using an Optional Bike Speed or Cadence Sensor

You can use a compatible bike speed or cadence sensor to
send data to your device.

• Pair the sensor with your device (Pairing Your ANT+

Sensors, page 9).

• Update your fitness user profile information (Setting Up Your

User Profile, page 9).

• Set your wheel size (Wheel Size and Circumference,

page 13).

• Go for a ride (Starting an Activity, page 5).

Foot Pod

Your device is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the
foot pod to record pace and distance instead of using GPS when
you are training indoors or when your GPS signal is weak. The
foot pod is on standby and ready to send data (like the heart
rate monitor).

After 30 minutes of inactivity, the foot pod powers off to
conserve the battery. When the battery is low, a message
appears on your device. Approximately five hours of battery life
remain.

ANT+ Sensors 9

Improving Foot Pod Calibration

Before you can calibrate your device, you must acquire GPS
signals and pair your device with the foot pod (Pairing Your

ANT+ Sensors, page 9).

The foot pod is self-calibrating, but you can improve the
accuracy of the speed and distance data with a few outdoor runs
using GPS.

Stand outside for 5 minutes with a clear view of the sky.

1

Start a running activity.

2

Run on a track without stopping for 10 minutes.

3

Stop your activity, and save it.

4

Based on the recorded data, the foot pod calibration value
changes, if necessary. You should not need to calibrate the
foot pod again unless your running style changes.

tempe

The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.

and the Garmin Express application.

◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Connect Mobile app using

your Bluetooth enabled smartphone.

While connected to your Garmin Connect account, the device
downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly
locate satellite signals.

• Take your device outside to an open area away from tall
buildings and trees.

• Remain stationary for a few minutes.

Activity Tracking

For more information about activity tracking accuracy, go to

garmin.com/ataccuracy.

My daily step count does not appear

The daily step count is reset every night at midnight.

If dashes appear instead of your step count, allow the device
to acquire satellite signals and set the time automatically.

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these
tips.

• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.

• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or
lawn mower.

Troubleshooting 11

• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your
hands or arms only.

NOTE: The device may interpret some repetitive motions,
such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your
hands, as steps.

The step counts on my device and my Garmin Connect account don't match

The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when
you synchronize your device.

Mobile app (Manually Syncing Data with Garmin Connect

Mobile, page 7).

Wait while the device synchronizes your data.

2

Synchronizing can take several minutes.
NOTE: Refreshing the Garmin Connect Mobile app or the

Garmin Connect application does not synchronize your data
or update your step count.

My intensity minutes are flashing

When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward
your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes flash.

Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or
vigorous intensity level.
