Display times out too quickly

Former Member over 4 years ago

When I receive a notification vibration, by the time I look at the display it's already gone. How does one increase the display time before it times out?

It may depend on the watch model, but on my Instinct, the timeout setting is accessible by long-pressing the Menu button while being on the notification widget screen. I can the choose among 30s, 1 min, 2 min and 3 min.

Found it:

Garmin Connect - Device - Appearance - Display Options - Timeout - Long (was set to short)

That is possibly just the display timeout, not the notification timout, which does not necessarily have to be the same thing. Though it depends on the watch model. As I wrote, I do not know what model you use, but you can try looking up "timeout" in the user manual for your device - there may be more timeouts than just this one.
