Randomly Changing to Different Screens

Have had a 165 for just over a week. I’ve noticed that it has a habit of just randomly changing to different ‘widgets’ throughout the day. For example, I can just be sitting with the watch when suddenly it will just go to the body battery or ‘Tap to Mute’ screen without any action on my part, i.e., no accidental button pressing.

Thanks

I imagine your previous Garmins probably didn’t have touchscreen so that’s why it’s only happening now.

Thanks very much for the reply: it’s a possibility. Unfortunately, some of my previous Garmins have been touch screens and I didn’t have this issue - so who knows…
