Walk the world's greatest trails — one real step at a time.
Watch Walks turns your everyday steps into a virtual journey along famous real trails, right on your wrist. No activity to start, no GPS, no accounts. Just walk — and unlock the landmarks as you go.
Set it once. Then just live your life.
Every step you take in the real world carries you further along your chosen trail — automatically.
Install on your Garmin
Add a trail from the Connect IQ store. It runs quietly in the background — no GPS, no battery drain.
Walk as normal
Your daily steps and distance move you down the real route. Pull down to check your progress any time.
Unlock the landmarks
Reach each milestone to unlock a short story of the place — all the way to the finish line.
Your whole journey, at a glance.
A live progress ring, a story for every landmark, and a pull-down card for a quick check.
You step through Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, and there it is — Machu Picchu spread in stone far below, exactly as the Inca framed it. Walk on; you're nearly there.
