Garmin PWR Pairings to Stryd® Causing Distance Errors

Garmin's most recent firmwares for all watches will automatically sense and prompt you to pair your Stryd with your Garmin watch for the first time. This can be a recurring prompt when a user navigates to "Run" mode on the watch. The watch asks if you would like to add a "PWR" pod.

This is not the recommended way of connecting to Stryd. We strongly recommend selecting "No" and following these steps to pair Stryd correctly as a foot pod. Pairing as a PWR pod, or as both a PWR pod and a FP can cause problems, particularly with pace and distance tracking.

To check for and remove the PWR pod connection to Stryd:

1) Access your watch settings menu.

2)Select "Sensors and Accessories".

3) Look through your list of added sensors for one that reads "PWR-Stryd" or  "PWR-xxxx" where x is a number.

4) If there is not a PWR connection, exit the menu to the watch face. If there is a PWR connection, select it.

5) Scroll through the PWR settings to the bottom and select "Remove"
