Thanks. This was short and precise video.

Great video! You answered some doubts I had. I would like to know if it has a lap button. For example, I am running a marathon and when I pass km 5 I use the lap button to get the results of that lap of 5k.
I saw there is a lap but you showed it from the pause menu and I need to use it without pausing the clock.
thank

Jumble is the best source for understanding and using the Garmin manual is worthless!!

I’m stuck in the “Tactical” activity. How do I get out?

[EziosBladez]

I have just recently got one of these watches and I have done a walk, discarded my activity as I didn't want to save it, but now I'm stuck with the walking activity forever and don't know how exactly to swap to something else like cycling or hiking where I once used to be able to select such an activity.

lost apps/activity on menu? can't get back ..any advice?

[rockiezeigler]

What is the best "workout" option on the watch for a Peloton stationary bike exercise? the "cardio" one?

[ethanholmes]

This helped so much thankyou! Will the calories burned be under (active calories burned) also any tips and tricks about the watch and the app as im brand new to garmin cheers

[VMANPRJECTS]

If you discard the activity. Does it still save on the app that you’ve completed an activity?

So, I did a hike and it didn't work properly. After the hike I went to check my data and it was messed up...
- Started at 50m elevation and peak was at 650m. Yet, my total ascent shows 200m, and my total descent shows around 550m.
- The watch goes in an out when you have the auto pause enabled. I start my hike and immediately it pauses because I am stopped, but when I start to move it unpauses and pauses again and then unpauses. Gets annoying. Happens every time.
- I ended up turning off auto pause and thought I could manually pause the hike, but then the whole time data is wrong. Says it took me 1hr 15min to reach summit when it was actually 2hrs 15min. Same with the descent, same data.
- My GPS map was also a bit messes up, there was a part where it was completely off course to where I was.

Whats going on?

Hi, I'm stuck in one activity and cannot exit to the activity overview. Can you please help? Thanks

[warken]

For some reason my activity is always set to weight lifting - how do I fix this to choose a different activity?

[aisabsme]

How do you show the number of steps on your activity page in Connect? It's being tracked but the data is noniancluded in the activity
