Just received my Forerunner 235. Haven't run with it yet. That will happen tomorrow afternoon. I won't use it as an activity tracker, only for running. So I turned off the activity tracking. But the heart rate monitor LEDs are always on. The watch is sitting on a table and the LEDs are shining bright. Why?
Is there a setting so the LEDs are only on when I'm doing an activity, or at least when I'm actually wearing the watch? Seems kind of obvious to me.
UPDATE: The LEDs go off when the watch is sitting still for a while. I tried setting it face down and saw them go off. So all is well. Really liking the 235 so far after almost several months of use.
