Customise workout settings

TRASH
over 3 years ago

Hey Garmin, 

Features request for Workouts. Would love to be able to choose

  • Speed/pace display - being able to choose live speed vs lap speed. My preference is lap pace but seems like a mixed opinion. 
  • Auto lap - I think the 925 had an option to turn off autolap on workouts but dissapeared. Useful for judging pace when intervals is longer than usual lap (i.e. 1km auto)

Welcome any other ideas!

Thanks

    have you tried updating to 7.35 as the watch has all those options.

    Easiest way to do this is to open your connect app on your phone, (assuming your watch is connected to your phone) press the watch icon, press activities and apps - press edit settings - select the activity you want to change i.e. running.

    Auto-lap: scroll to auto-lap setting and toggle it on. Also gives and option as to the mode i.e. auto-distance or auto-position; Lap alert customization strangely has to be done on the watch! When you switch it on you should get the option to adjust the auto distance (assuming auto is set).

    Speed/Pace: press Data screens. Press add data screen to add a new one, or press on a data screen to adjust current. Choose layout (how many data fields and the design) - then press on a data field (i.e. Field 1). For speed press on speed fields where you will get the option to select speed (live speed), and or avg, lap speed, last lap speed etc. you can even get vertical speed. Do the same for pace. I tend to have current pace/speed on main data screen, usually with avg pace/speed (avg over current tracked activity), then on a second data screen would have lap pace/speed and last lap pace/speed. On screen where it lists the data screen, press edit to adjust screens - i.e. order position and to remove screens).

    When done go to home screen of app and sync to watch (not really necessary - but I prefer to do this).

    Base Speed/Pace. There is a profile setting for this where you can choose which one is the base setting for which activity (sorry can't remember where it is).

    Actually on F5/F6/FR945 workout screen pace was not a lap pace, but entire workout step pace. So if workout step was longer than 1 kilometer (i.e. 3 km), it was showing average for those 3 kilometers. So not the same as lap pace. In addition, I personally liked this gauge on workout screen. Now it shows me only a current pace and there is no possibility to customize :(

    are you doing it via the watch or via the phone. I have noticed that when changing data fields via the phone there are bugs, and all the data fields often don't come up i.e. on screen 1 you have option to add live pace, then you go to screen 2 where you want to add live pace, avg pace, last lap pace, but when going to  add these they have disappeared. However when you go via the watch they are available.

    Seems as though the change data fields on the phone is very buggy at the moment.

    Hey, I can easily customize entire data screens, that's not the problem. But, there is no field like "workout step pace".
    Also, when you execute previously created structured workout, there is additional gauge screen, that CANNOT BE customized. On previous Garmin watches there was average pace for entire workout step displayed there, and on Epix it's displaying instant pace. I would love to see previous behavior on that screen.

    Pretty sure I used to be able to change those while the screens were active, but doesn't seem to be the case on the E2. Would suggest sending in feature/bug report.

    Thanks both, yes should amend the post subject but per below comment looking to customise the Workout/Interval data screen specifically. I currently have a workaround by created a separate run profile with custom data screen + auto lap swiched off which does the job but would be better if this be customised within the single 'run' activity
