970 Heart Rate Zone displaying

The heart rate zone keeps displaying automatically on watch face about every 5 mins. Is there a way to stop this displaying without switching off heart rate monitoring?

  • Seems like your watch's touchscreen is experiencing "phantom touches". Normally you would only be taken to that screen from the watchface if you long-press the heart rate data field, but since you're obviously not doing that, the watch may be detecting non-existent touches.

    Have you tried turning the watch off and on? Hopefully this will recalibrate your touchscreen.

    - Hold the LIGHT button briefly to open the controls menu

    - Select the Power Off button and confirm the prompt

    - After the watch turns off, hold the LIGHT button for several seconds until it turns on

    If that doesn't help, you might want to contact Garmin Support at https://support.garmin.com/ or [email protected]
