Forerunner 265 Running Watch Face

Hi all,

My Forerunner 265 changes the running watch face over time while running.

I have it set up with the standard running watch face with 4 datapoints: Time, Distance, Average Pace and HR.
On long runs it changes the watch face to Time, Time, Average Pace and Time.
The information shows up when i pause the run, and the HR is also shown in the Connect app on iPhone.

Is this a bug or have i clicked something wrong multiple times?


  • If you have touch enabled during the activity, it's possible that the watch recognizes wet sleeve touches etc. as long presses, which starts editing the data fields (and Time is the default one).

  • That is a very good point as i have been running a lot lately while it's been raining. I will disable touch during runs, and see if that resolves the issue. Thanks!

  • Apparently, i have Touch disabled for all activities. The touch screen is also set as Disabled in the Run Settings, but the touch screen is enabled while running. Wet touches on the touch screen has probably caused the data screen changes, as Bitti mentioned.

    Please release a new update that makes it possible to once again disable the Touch screen during activities.
