  • finally... what a nice surprise

  • Pretty nuts at all the fixes!  Hope it fixes the crazy issue with the high heartrate alarm too. 

  • Of the 6 fixes, 1 is a feature I don't use and the other 5 I didn't have or know there was even a problem.  Interested in the the workout videos though.  Anyone have any experience with them yet, or know the types of workouts available?  I'm wondering if I should just wait for the FW release. 

  • Workout videos are really nice - until now we only had the description of the exercises, and for some i had to youtube them to see how it's done; now before starting the workout you can even scroll through each of them - really helpful having them on the watch; fe-c to control the smart trainer is also nice, but i'm using zwift anyway; also - the weather widget was updated to the new look and i find that very useful, as now you can scroll through the next 12h - the previous version displayed only the next 4h; i just hope the next release gets the new sleep functionality; i've installed the beta and played with it about 1/2h, no glitch so far...

  • Good to here. I'm also hoping the new sleep metrics come to the 945.  Can you tell me how I can find the workout video descriptions?  I'm more concerned with what's available and I'm hoping it isn't limited like I found Garmin Coach to be.

    Edit:  Never mind. :) I found them and there's several that look promising.  Nice addition Garmin.  Maybe in the future Garmin and Beachbody, etc, can work something out where the P90X or Insanity workouts can be added. A girl can dream :) 

  • sure- make sure you synced them on the watch:

     

    open the cardio activity on the watch, long press UP -> Training -> My workouts; if you choose View you'll see the video ;-) that's why i was 'vocal' about this feature, as it's really useful for a fitness watch - you can really skip a personal trainer, at least during the beginning :-)

  • Thanks!  Not to keep bothering you, but did you happen to notice the size of the video files, ie 30 min workout is "X" Mbps?  I have a lot of music on my watch and I'm wondering if storage may be an issue. 

  • actually you've awakened the curious kid inside me :D - i've haven't found them on the watch yet, but the archive at https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=15158 is 23mb - and inside the bin files are ranging from about 0.01mb to 0.5mb, so i wouldn't really worry about space ;-). 

  • Thank you. You've been a great help. I'm out of town for a couple of days, but I'm looking forward to trying the beta when I return home. Thanks again tsofron and stay safe. 

  • To be honest, I think that a person who uses Forerunner 945 already knows how some workouts are done. But shure, it's nice to have this feature as long as they don't stop fixing bugs.
