Turn off Suggested Workout?

Is there a way to turn off Suggested Workout? I use the Calendar widget a lot, and every time I look at it, the first entry is "Workout - Suggested Workout". I don't ever want to see the suggested workout, and it takes up valuable real estate on the calendar widget.

Absolutely NO DISABLE PROMPT! What the heck? I'd suggest that most people who have put out the $$$ for a fenix already knows what they're doing and isn't interested in the one-size-fits-all workout suggestions…

My fenix 6 is about to go on eBay. This feature has basically ruined the watch for me and also destroyed the Garmin's reputation in my mind. I've been trying to disable this unwanted feature, but I haven…

Unfortunately, that does not get rid of it from the calendar widget. It's still the first entry there.

Strangely, my Suggested Workout seems to always be a run, even though I don't use my F6 for running and I don't have Run listed as an activity.

I can add Run as an activity, then go into Training, then Workouts, then Suggested Workouts, and Disable Prompt, but that doesn't get rid of Suggested Workout from the calendar widget.

I can also go into the Suggested Workout from the calendar widget, and Disable Prompt there, but again it does not remove the suggestion from the calendar widget. It's always the first item on the calendar widget - right where I want to see the next appointment on my calendar.

I'm having the opposite problem. I want to see the Suggested Workout in my calendar, but it doesn't show up there. I can find it when I go to my activity and hit "Workouts", but I want it to show in the calendar entry. Any thoughts?

Me too. I just noticed this feature on my fenix 6xplus. Really cool, but not showing up on the calendar, just in workout. Also trying to figure out how to disable it, though I don't want to. I'm interested to see how well it works.

doesn't work. There is not Disable prompt.

I'm absolutely pissed with Garmin for adding this without consent. Pissed enough it think there may be a lawsuit coming over it.

I guess for everyone who dislikes it there is someone who likes it. I like it myself. Hopefully they will add a comprehensive switch off option for you but I for one I’m glad of the new feature.

UPDATE: The day after disabling the prompt both (a) in the Run activity (which I had to add to my activities in order to disable the prompt) and (b) from the Suggested Workout in calendar widget, the next day the Suggested Workout was gone from my calendar widget.

In other words, it took a day after turning off the prompts for Suggested Workouts to disappear from my calendar widget. Happy now.

It took three suggested workouts before I could see the Disable menu alternative.
