Texts vibrate at night? How to enable sleep mode?

Hi,

I have a garmin instinct and I can't seem to make it so that at night, the watch won't vibrate when I get a text. I only want to diable that during night hours. I have my night time hours between 10 pm and 7am but that doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Any help?

Thanks, 

  • On your Garmin Connect mobile APP, select your watch on the top of the default My Day page. Under Sounds & Alerts, you can enable "Do Not Disturb During Sleep" then sync your watch. You will now be good to go while sleeping. No more alerts to wake you up.

  • Thanks, but when I look this is enabled and I still receive alerts... Any tips? 

  • hmmm... That doesn't add up. Ensure your Instinct software is fully updated. We have not seen any reports for the current version of software ignoring the setting but I have seen such a bug in the past on another non-Instinct series so anything is possible. 

    On your watch, you can try a soft reset holding down your top left CTRL button until your Instinct shuts off. You can also try a reset through your System > Reset menu.

    Your software version should show 14.40 when you go to Settings > About. If you continue to have issues, please send me a Private Message by highlighting my name and using the Send a Private Message option. We will get it figured out together.
