Constant vibration during activity plus data screen issues

Former Member over 4 years ago

so, my brand new Garmin Forerunner 245 arrived today!
I have a problem that during a run, right from the beginning, it vibrates for every second that passes! There’s no way I can put up with this, can anyone help please?

secondly, I’m struggling with the data screens. I’ve downloaded around 15 but some are in a ‘queue’?? I’ve synced but it doesn’t send them to my watch. Some have made it across but it seems I can only use 2 at any one time?! Is this correct?

Any help really appreciated!

cheers

Possibly the metronome is set for every second - Using the Metronome

If that's not it, I would contact Garmin Support via chat or phone. Sounds like a hardware issue.

Which data screens? Are this from Connect IQ?

Hi,

so as you can see,19 data screens are yet to be downloaded, but I’ve tried to get them all sent over (?). I have synced from my Garmin account.

the dark screen I think is telling me all are now on the watch, I’m just struggling to put the entire data screen on my full watch face & use it.I’ve followed instructions from ConnectIQ but it seems only 2 data fields are allowed on the watch at any one time??

hooeguly these are just teething problems! Lol

cheers

You've probably reached the limit. More CIQ apps, more chances for issues. You can try to sync with Garmin Express. That usually is faster.

Where are you looking for the data fields on your watch?

They are an option for the various data screens that need to be selected for a particular activity and then they are present when that activity is ran.
