How to Find Your Lost Garmin Fenix 8 in Minutes
Losing your $899 Fenix 8 is stressful. But if they still have battery, they're broadcasting an invisible Bluetooth Low Energy signal right now. EarBuddy turns your phone into a radar that can detect that signal and guide you straight to them.
Why Garmin Connect Isn't Enough
At $899, the Fenix 8 is one of the most expensive watches you can lose on a trail. Garmin Connect's last sync location is often miles from where you actually dropped it.
How EarBuddy Finds Your Fenix 8
Because Garmin uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.2), your Fenix 8 constantly broadcasts a short-range signal — even when disconnected. EarBuddy scans for this signal and shows you real-time signal strength on a radar display, guiding you physically to the device.
Check Garmin Connect for the last synced GPS point.
Return to that area and open EarBuddy.
The Fenix 8 has a powerful BLE radio — scan while retracing your route.
Watch for signal spikes as you walk the trail.
Check trail edges, rocks, and rest spots where you may have removed it.
