Custom data fields options are not consistent and unclickable

I'm trying to configure the data screens for Trail Run and Track Run to be the same as my Run. See image.

1) Why can't I include running dynamics for Track Run?

2) Why can't I click some of the options for Trail Run? I used to be able to add running dynamics like GCT Balance on my FR945.

3) The last weird problem. After configuring my Run, I can't seem to click the options?

PS: I'm running the latest FW and latest GC Android version.

My ideal Run Data Screens

Unable to click ???

Missing running dynamics???

  • Track run having no Cadence Fields / Running Dynamics baffles me...

  • Nobody else facing such issues?

    Another bug.

    On GC, I cannot click run dynamics to edit data screens for Trail Run.

    While on the data screens page of GC, I added GCT Balance gauge manually on watch. The phone will force reboot.

    I must exit GC on phone to be able to add GCT Balance gauge on watch.

  • Yes, mentioned this a few months ago in the Bug and Issues thread

    Configuring data screens from GCM sometimes sets a different data field to what you have chosen.

    Edit: It seems to be due to GCM missing some available data fields.

    e.g. For Running or Trail Running, in GCM the Graphical Data field options are:

           Cadence, Heart Rate, Training Effect, Compass, Total Ascent/Descent

    On the watch you have all of the above plus running dynamics.

  • Thank you.

    2 months already ?

    Lets hope it's fixed soon. This should be an easy fix.

  • You're not alone. Similar for Ultra Run. There is no "Elevation Fields" available to choose which for Ultra run is crucial.
    However default data screen has one from this section "Total Ascent". So don't remove it because you won't be able to add it again.
    The current state of the software for F955 is ridiculous. I'm long time Garmin user but I've never seen something like that before.

  • Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for dropping by this thread.

    Sure I am glad to converse with Garmin on email. Can you send me a DM ? I don't have permission viewing your profile.

    On the positive side, I am happy you guys introduced a functionality that allows users to configure every aspect of the watch on GC instead of the watch.

    I remember requesting for such on the FR945.
