• RE: My Garmin is showing my speed but not distance. Any thoughts?

    You must press the physical button at the short side of the device. The one to the right. 

  • RE: Open water swim underestimating distance and lagging

    Recorded this one yesterday along a marked swim course of ~2000m with buoys at ~250m intervals. As much as I'd love to see a faster pace this is my reality. The track is definitely reasonable and the distance pretty close allowing for tide and drift …

    Hi all,

    I am having 2 issues with my vivoactive 4, Garmin support has been ZERO help so figured I'd see if anyone here can help.

    1. First issue is that for the Run activity I have set a heart rate alert to go off when I exceed 125 BPM. The alert does…

  • RE: R10 indoor distances off. What net are people using?

    I am using a photography sheet from amazon in front of a heavy duty mesh tarp from harbor freight. Behind that I have a harbor freight moving blanket hung for extra protection. I may have some mildy short reads indoors but nothing that I would categorize…

  • Pace/distance glitch during intervals with Stryd

    A couple of days ago I ran a short interval training - 12x {1min + 2min recovery}. The paces were roughly 3:15 for the intervals and 4:45 for the recovery. I look at the "Lap pace" metric (average pace for the current lap).

    I've noticed something…

  • RE: Distance and pace on watch not the same on Garmin Connect

    I know this is a really old post, but this happened today on my wife's Vivoactive 4.  Watch recorded the all the metrics correctly, but Garmin Connect shorted her over half a mile and consistently, recalculated the pace to the shorter distance.

  • RE: Not showing accurate pace & distance comparing to cheaper Garmin watches

    Altitude can be calculated using GPS or the barometric pressure. In the latter case, the measurements are accurate only for a short time after calibration, as the weather changes the barometric pressure all the time.

  • Doesn't record distance on any of the activities

    I've tried a bike and a run with my VA3 and it appears to be working and acquires the GPS however my activities show 0.00 for the distance.  When I try to save the activity it goes into a "saving" loop for at least 30 minutes and then nothing happens…

    Hi All,

    Have found my way here after completing the Redbull wings run. My Fenix5x is showing such bad timing data. 

    We used the app which the race provides and basically you start 30mins ahead of a chase car which picks up speed until it catches you.…

  • Reset of the weekly running distance at standard watch face.

    The weekly running distance display (below the red man) is not reset at the start of the week. So far the problem can only be solved by switching the start of the week to Sunday for a short time each week and then back to Monday again. The problem already…
