I've had my Garmin 55 for two weeks and have used it and been very happy for my normal running activities and as I upgraded from a Garmin 35, I've been talking advantage of Garmin coach on the connect app. But I knew there was more going on directly from the watch, and this video explains those features in just the way I needed to know. Thank you! 🙏

Hi thank you for the video. I learned a great deal. As per guidebook for FR55, it states that watch has the feature for run setting pace alerts for high and low (min and max) just like you do for HR. But I am not able to do that on my 55 watch, it only gives me one value setting. Can we set pace range simply from the alert settings for run?

@HowToPM 2 года назад

I would need to test it. It's not something that I really use but you may find it in the alert menu of your activity.

@HowToPM 2 года назад

Maybe try to reboot the watch. Are you sure you set the back light to be off when and when not in activity? Don't wait for the GPS signal, just go, you will see it will be a lot quicker while moving. And you get your distance anyway.

Is the Abnormal Heart Rate alert customizable to exact numbers (not presets) especially including numbers under 100bpm? If so, is the alert activated immediately upon reaching the set threshold - or is there a delay in seconds or minutes before the alarm is activated. The reason I ask is because I have a condition in which I must pace everyday tasks in order to prevent (or at least minimize) time spent over my anaerobic threshold - which is pretty darn low. :/ Thanks in advance. :)

@HowToPM 3 месяца назад

Hard to say as it's not a feature that I really use. But if I well remember you can set the BPM you want inside and outside activity and you should get a quick notification when you go under or over a target BPM.

@michaelmbatha8474 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I have a question. I go for a long run which last for 2 hours. When the running time reaches one hour it doesn't continue showing the total running time as one hour and something else but it starts a new hour. How do I adjust this so that I see a continuous total running time for the entire duration of the workout?

@HowToPM Год назад

Usually in this type of activity, it put the hour number smaller before the minutes. It's to have a bigger minute ans second overlook. You might have some datafield that might display it differently.

@michaelmbatha8474 Год назад

@@HowToPM That's exactly what happens, it shows a smaller hour count on top. If you've ran for 2 hours then there'll be a number 2 while i want to see a complete normal time, even if it's a smaller font but a normal view that one has in e.g. TomTom runner 3.
