It is possible to sync Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch with the list of Microsoft To Do on Windows.
We are talking of a situation wherein you would do the following:
- Get your Microsoft To Do list from Windows
- Send this list to the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch
This is, essentially, a two step process. First, you would pull the information or data from Microsoft To Do through the Garmin Connect app on your Fenix 8.
Once the Microsoft To Do data has been ported on the Fenix 8 watch, the next step is make it usable and readable for the Fenix 8 users. For this, Garmin has created a ‘ComingUp’ app.
The ComingUp app is, in plain terms, a corresponding app for Microsoft To Do on Windows.
The ComingUp will read the data pulled from the Microsoft To Do list and integrate it with the Garmin suite. Once ComingUp has completed the data import, the Microsoft To Do list items are available on the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch.
This looks complicated. But, it is a very straightforward process for most Fenix 8 users.
