    Music control: From the clock widget (and some other screens) press and hold the up button.

    Renaming Other: Not possible to rename Other to something else on the watch itself BUT after you upload your activity to garmin connect, you can rename it and select a more suitable activity type there.

    The controls aren't good, or they don't work? What device are you trying to control with it?

    i have an iphone 6 - i find i have to press play pause 2 or 3 times before it does what i want - but im also finding the bluetooth disconnects sometimes even though the phone is sat next to the watch.

    Hi, where did you find the music control, it is also missing off my 235 and not present when you look up Connect IQ installed widgets?

    While viewing the clock, press and hold the up button. You have to have a Bluetooth connection with your phone. I have noticed a few music and Bluetooth issues on these forums with the iPhones. I use an Android, so I don't know if this a setting issue with iPhones, or maybe there's just more iPhone users and it just appears that they are having more issues.
