  • Fenix Watches not displaying in Finder on Macs –

    Garmins watches that now use MTP  (Media Transfer Protocol) this tends to be the watches that can have music stored on them such as the Fenix 6 range are not being detected in Finder by Macs, this is due to Apple being compatible with MTP transfer protocol, whether apple will change this in the future we don’t know but from MAC forums a free to use programme that lets you see the Fenix watch on your Mac to manually copy and paste files to can be downloaded from  – www.android.com/filetransfer
  • InReach mini 2 – Battery safe Tips
