Discussion - Software Version 19.18 Issues

Hey Garmin,

Just to bring awareness to some issues with the latest update:

I’m experiencing these issues on my FR165, however the majority of these seem shared across other models based on Reddit posts.

Watch now vibrates when Locked/Unlocked
Watch Vibrates if a button is pressed while locked
*Edit* - Watch vibrates when screen is touched whilst locked, even whilst in Sleep Mode.
No option to disable lock/unlock vibrations without disabling all Haptics
Recovery time is no longer displayed post workout
Watch notifies / alerts me on completing metrics I have hidden on the watch - For example: reaching 150 intensity minutes despite this stat being hidden on the watch’s list of metrics.

Hopefully quick fix or menus I’ve missed the resolve these issues.

Thank You,

Ok my comments are from 965 but menus largely similar so possibly this helps:

Last Item : Health & Wellness > Goal Alerts (Is theToggle Off)

Re the Recovery time , mine shows in the post activity pages (after saving the activity) under "Performance" page with the current status "Like Strained / Recover 0hr)

I turned my watch on/off which has restored the recovery time being displayed after a run.
however the Vibrations when locked is still really annoying
