A:AnswerI would get a hold of Garmin directly and ask. I would think that if they want to sell their product that they would have that option. It is a very nice watch I owned it but I don't like things around my wrist so I returned it. Mine was comfortable it was not too small so I would definitely contact them because the watch is worth it it's a very nice watch.
A:AnswerNo, you can only control the music on the phone with this version. You will need a Venu Sq Music to play music from the watch.

A:AnswerTattoos can impact heart rate sensor accuracy and performance. In some cases, the optical sensor may not even turn on. The ink, pattern, and saturation of some tattoos can block light from reaching the sensor, potentially making it difficult to get a reliable heart rate reading. For best performance, wear your watch in an area free of tattoos.

A:AnswerNo you don't need a smart phone to get the data. However, he could connect it to a compatible computer and using Garmin Express upload the data to Garmin Connect where he will see more information. The readings will show on the watch but Garmin Connect can provide more data.
