How do I turn off an eat alert?

4131258 1 day ago

I wanted to check out "eat alerts" so I added it to my Run profile through Run Settings -> Alerts -> Add New -> Custom -> Eat -> Time -> Done.

Now my watch beeps every few minutes to tell me to eat and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.

If I go to Run Settings -> Alerts it only lists "Add New", "Heart Rate" and "Proximity (Off)". There is no custom or eat alert to remove. If I go back through "add new" to custom/eat, there is also no option to disable or remove anything.

This is with Firmware 25.04 though I added the alert right before the upgrade if that matters.

Yeah, this is a bug in current watches that others, including myself, have run into.

Couple of ways to get around it:

1) reset your activity profile to defaults. But then you lose your customizations and I think the problem will just come back the next time you add a certain kind of alert

2) I made a website to fix the problem. Link and screenshot here: https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-965/417592/deleted-alert-still-appearing-on-forerunner-965-even-after-reset/1967154#1967154

(I used the same website to fix the problem on my FR955)
