Small questions, tips and tricks topic

My 6x is working well, but I also think that I don't use a lot of handy features simply because I don't know them.... Let's use this topic to advice each other about getting the most out of this watch. Let me start with a few questions (I don't have tips yet unfortunately)

- How to manage battery consumption during an activity ?

- What data fields are convenient for running (and why)?

- How to navigate during running without using the map?

Ps: please don't spam this topic about good/bad experiences since that will help nobody...thanks

1. select activity

Hold down left middle button.

scroll down one step to "power mode" and select.

then choose your power settings.

2. Personal preference. I like the app "Race Screen" that has everything on it that I like/want. https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/6a30651b-ca67-41a5-96dc-60634983fc93

but- for a main screen- HR, distance, Timer, Pace- are the 4 items I look at the most. but, I have more screens for other things.

3. if you upload a course into your watch, and select it... and then 'Navigate" the watch will chirp at you and tell you to turn right or left at upcoming turns. it's a bit cryptic with arrows and distance to turn... but it can kinda' do it. You don't need to look at the map screen.
