How to Find Your Lost Garmin Vivoactive 6 in Minutes

Losing your $299 Vivoactive 6 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

The Vivoactive 6 connects via Bluetooth for syncing but Garmin provides no way to locate or ring it remotely. Last sync location in Garmin Connect is your only clue.

How EarBuddy Finds Your Vivoactive 6

Because Garmin uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.2), your Vivoactive 6 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.
