Answer calls during exercise

olofto over 2 years ago

While riding my bike I have Bluetooth headset connected to phone.

My Garmin fenix 7 is connected to phone.

When receiving a call the screen in Fenix displays a notification asking to answer call.

The problem I have is that any option to answer the call is unavailable.

As I am doing an activity with the Fenix, so the touch screen Is disabled.

I've tried all buttons on the side of the watch, but none answers.

Can someone please guide me?

Actually I do have the option to answer a call. When someone calls, it shows on the Felix's screen an option to accept or deny the call. Or even to deny the call with an SMS answer back.

Since you cannot make a call with the Fenix 7, there is also no option to answer a call.
The call is then probably answered by operating the headset.

This should work perfectly fine with the buttons. Call comes in, my watch vibrates and I can see who is calling on the watch with a Red X to reject or a Green Check to accept by pressing the corresponding button. If I Accept, the call is "answered" on phone and (since the watch has no speaker or microphone) I then need to pull out my phone to begin talking. This is with iPhone but I suspect the Android phone experience is same or even better (because Apple is purposefully much worse for these kinds of integrations).

Hi, thanks for all the replys.

I found a solution: If I enable Touch Screen during activity I can answer calls.,
