Hold back button to home?

Former Member over 4 years ago

It is annoying that one has to hit the back button to get home. I saw on a friends Enduro that she can hold the back button to get home. I don't see that functionality on my FR945 LTE. Is this possible to add, because I could see this wearing out the button.

I think you can add a button shortcut to go “home” / watch face. Check Menu -> System -> Hot Keys then change “Hold Back” to “Watch Face?

I wanted to note / link another thread that uses this hot key and found issues with doing it during an activity - https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-945-lte/267295…

Hopefully the beta (3.04) or newer firmware will resolve this, but for now be aware your sport recording may be interrupted if using this hotkey while recording an activity.

You need to add a hot key. Hold menu button, scroll to System and then scroll to Hot Keys. Set the Hold BACK option to Watch Face.

Edit: whoops. I missed that this had already been answered.
