Setting the weekdays

On the alarm i set it to repeat on weekdays (my weekdays are sun -thursday)
But it only comes on mon - friday ...
How do i change what is weekdays for me ?
  • only guessing here but I believe under settings (in format I think) you can set the first day of the week. Set it to Sunday and see if that does it.

  • I'm afraid you can't redefine what ‘weekday’ means, either in English or on the watch

    I don't think you can, because weekeday has a globally accepted definition that is in dependent on locale or culture, whereas start-of-week may not.

    Weekdays and working days are not the same thing semantically, and I don't think you can co-opt the former to mean the latter. For the majority of people, they're just ‘lucky’ that the former and latter are aligned due to workplace conventions.
  • It's settings:system:format:start of week that I was talking about. Let us know if it works

  • I think "start of week" won't have any impact on "weekdays" for the alarm. SOW is just for locations where the week starts on Sunday vs Monday. In both cases, weekdays would be mon-fri, and weekends sat-sun.

    For "non mon-fri weekdays", I think Garmin would have to add an alarm option where you can specify the specific days you want an alarm to go off, so you could set it to go off on sun, wed, thurs, fri, sat for example. That way it could also handle "weekdays" for people that might work a four day (10hr/day) "week".

    There's a way to submit suggestions to garmin (I forget the link) and that would be the ways to suggest it.

    For tamirhosh's benefit: Google search for “Garmin ideas” :p

    It is unbelievable that you cannot select individual days of the week (or weekend) to repeat alarms. Without that basic feature, my 235 feels like it is stuck in a beta OS.
