They can do a lot, it’s overwhelming! That’s why you should join us for this event at Truckee Philosophy, to learn how all these features can help you on and off the trail.

This night is all about learning how to your Garmin smartwatch to it’s fullest potential. Maybe you have a Garmin watch but don’t know all the different features work? Or maybe you are considering purchasing one soon? Either way, this event is for you.

Runners! Check out the new Garmin Forerunner series of GPS smartwatches with bluetooth technology and multisport settings. You can even store and listen to your music right from your watch.

There will be a lot to learn at this event! This is your chance to learn the ins and outs of your watch and have a Garmin expert answer any questions you might have. Here’s a peak at what the night will cover…

They will walk you through the basics of their program, go through the process of planning a route, show trip planning features and explain how to integrate with Garmin and other devices once you are out on the trail.

Attendees can bring their laptops and/or devices to follow along and each speaker will stick around afterwards to answer specific questions.
