Does the 965 let me correct treadmill distance?

JMO_1967 4 days ago

My previous Garmin would let me correct the treadmill distance at the end of the workout. But my 965 does not appear to be asking me to do so. I save the workout and it wants me to say how hard it was but nowhere do I get an option to correct the distance?

Is this an option with the 965? If so, how do I enable it?

Choose the option to Calibrate & save at the end of the workout.

It's not in the settings. You get this option when you stop the activity.

Calibrate and Save will only be available for treadmill activities if the watch’s accelerometer is used as the source for pace/distance (as it is by default for indoor runs), or if you use a Garmin HRM-PRO as a pace/distance source. It won’t be available if a footpod is used for pace/distance.

If you meet all the criteria (you’re not using a footpod for pace/distance, your treadmill runs are long enough — 1.5 miles / 2.4 km as per the support articles), it’s possible you’ve run into a bug.

There is currently a bug where the calibration option after a workout doesn't appear in the menu. A workaround is to select 'Pause/Resume Later' after the activity. Wait a few minutes, then press 'Start' again to bring up the resume screen. The calibration setting should then reappear. This issue has been present since the last 2–3 updates. I've reported it in the beta forum.

Great answer! I didn't know about this bug, never encountered it.

Which software version? I'm currently at 21.22 and still have the option to calibrate and save.

Ah so that explains it. I was expecting it to be there! Was confused when it was not.

They mentioned reporting a bug in the beta forum and the bug being present since the last 2-3 updates, so it sounds like recent beta firmware. 21.22 is production firmware (not a beta). The current beta track is 22.x (and the latest is 22.21.)

Btw 22.22 has just been released to production, so assuming this bug hasn't been fixed in the beta track, it looks like all regular users (not in the beta program) will be receiving this bug soon, unless they to choose not to update.
