After installing new FW, sometimes the app store won't know unless you re sync with Garmin Express or re-pair with your phone. Power off the watch and...

When you have two devices on the same account with GP, you will only see the Garmin Pay option in GCM for one of them. (or that's my experience) Turn...

The Fenix group releases a lot of betas, and what you see in their announcements is that it's not for APAC (asian-pacific) devices, only for ROW (Rest...

[jim_m_58]

Except for the Garmin people who keep getting bug reports about it not working correctly from people that don't remember the disclaimer about it not working...

[jim_m_58]

I think you mean Garmin Connect and not Connect IQ. Connect IQ is how you can add 3rd party watch faces, data fields, etc, and isn't involved in syncing...

[jim_m_58]

I just noticed that - it was added to the Fenix 5 plus devices not long ago too....

[jim_m_58]

The Connect IQ section of the forums switched to the new platform last week, so I've been using it for about a week and no problem with getting logged...

Do you have another ANT device like a HRM or Tempe you can use to check ANT in general?

[jim_m_58]

Yes, the ability to talk to non-standard BLE devices from CIQ apps was announced last week for CIQ 3.1.x.
And then, it will just take someone to...

They looked about the same as the f5 to me, but they were also right next to a window, so hard to say

[jim_m_58]

I was at the Garmin HQ in Olathe last week for the Connect IQ Summit and they had all 5 models on display,. They were secured down so you couldn't pick...

No. Only APAC devices get APAC FW.

[jim_m_58]

If you consider the fr935 and fenix5, they are basically the same watch - some call the 935 "the plastic fenix", and lots of runners prefer...

[jim_m_58]

The CIQ section is live on the new forums, and not had a login problem or gotten logged out, and things like posting images is far easier. I'm really...

[jim_m_58]

Unless you have an APAC device, you won't be able to use this font....

[jim_m_58]

See the announcement at the top of the forum.



The Connect IQ section has already been moved to the new forum software....

[jim_m_58]

The f5+ has three kind of big things the 935 doesn't (it depends if they are big things to you! )
1) Music
2) Garmin Pay
3) On device...

[jim_m_58]

What watch do you have? Available option could depend on that. Sounds like you might be looking for a data field vs an app.

[jim_m_58]

This "could" be something that's different in the sim vs a real device, so maybe someone with a E130 can chime in....

[jim_m_58]

Unfortunately, there's no call. I'm not sure, but the E130 may support grayscale and do things with that and the other colors.

You could...
