When not in use

fadias1904 over 8 years ago

For those who just use the Forerunner 235 to workout, what do you do when not in use? Do you turn off the watch? Or just disable HR and Bluetooth?

Don't do anything! When "not in use" the watch is in low power mode so why bother to turn things off?

Even the HR monitor?

0 timgrose over 8 years ago

Well it does RHR determination then but again it's a low power activity.

What are your concerns here?

After I buy the watch, I used it for 2 weeks 24h and I never had any problems, even after the 4.70 update.
Then I start using the watch just at the weekends, with my workouts. During the week I disable the HR monitor and this weekend it fail me in one workout.

Ok. That means that I should not disable those functions.

More you should not need to.

The only reason you might is if you are trying to run some absolute max battery test.
