In the case of the original devices you mentioned, you do not pair them through Settings>Bluetooth. You pair them to your phone through the apps. If you're trying to find them through Settings>BT, it's not going to work.


Contact Garmin and Square for additional help.

A garmin watch and a square card reader

Both devices required that you have a specific app downloaded to your phone. Have you downloaded the apps? Have you reviewedthe instructions?

I have both apps on my phone.


These apps and Bluetooth working on my old iPhone 11.


This evening I transferred over all my data to an iPhone 13. The apps for both have fully loaded and I have signed into both. I’ve turned my square reader on, but it makes no difference I’ve turned my watch off and on. The only thing I haven’t tried is to delete the apps and restore them
