Watch returns to main screen after lap split

Hi all,

Usually when I'm doing an interval workout (whether a run or a ride), I'll be using the lap page screen, not the main one.

Now with the Fenix 8, whenever I'm done with the split, it would redirect me back to the main screen.

I would like to remain on the same screen I was on.

Is this a bug or something with the settings?

I have Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm, software 11.89

Go to the settings for the specific activity. Under Laps ensure you have Lap Key set to ON.

It is on. I am able to hit lap. This isn't the issue. The issue is that the watch automatically switches the screen to the main data screen after splitting (whether manual or automatic split).

interestingly, I don't have this problem.

I'm maybe not using it the same way, can you indicate wether you are doing the same ?

- tested with trail and run :

- going to page 2 of the activity.

- pressing lap.

- after the lap is validated (ie, you can't cancel it any longer), I'm still on page 2.

if I well understand, your watch go to screen 1 again ?

curious to see if I tested it the proper way (11.89)

Oops my bad. Read it that the watch face was being shown. Just tested it on my F8 and the watch stays on the data screen it was on when lap was chosen. Sync to your phone then try a hard reset - long press top left until shutdown - and test.

If problem persists contact Garmin Support

Thank you. I just tested and it does stay on page 2 in this scenario.

But when I have a structured intervals workout, it goes back to page 1 after the lap is validated.
