Stop the BACK·LAP button from inverting colors during HIIT activity

During a HIIT activity with Free Timer, pressing the BACK·LAP button inverts the background colors and does not mark a new lap. I have to press the BACK·LAP again in order to mark a lap. So each lap requires 2 BACK·LAP button presses. This does not happen during the preset HIIT Timers like AMRAP, only the Free Timer. This does not happen during other activities like Runs, Strength, etc.

I've looked at the settings and can't figure it out. Auto Lap is set to Manual Only. Auto Pause, ClimbPro, Auto Scroll, Rep Counting.

Any ideas?

It's supposed to be the recovery phase.

Oh, interesting. The most common type of HIIT workout I do is Rounds for Time. Garmin has Timers for AMRAP and EMOM, but not Rounds for Time. For example, 3 rounds for time of 300m row, 15 handstand pushups, 50 double-unders.

I like to track how long I spend in each round to see if my laps are consistent or if I'm burning out early. Any ideas on how I can do this?

You could preplan your rounds (create a training), then the color change should only happen when you get to the preplanned pause.

You should even be able to preselect the excercise and set your fixed reps.
