Display Always on not working?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I've put on the Display "Always On" and that lasts about 10 seconds before turning off. Is there another setting that could be overriding it?

Is it with a watch face? Which one?

CIQ watch faces must include code to handle "always on". Try this one:

apps.garmin.com/.../2c632834-3bb2-4dfa-b008-4f6d48dda0cb

Another thing about Always On, is you have to be wearing the watch. If it doesn't see heart rate, the screen blanks. It will also blank during your configured sleep times.

I wasnt aware of that. I tried that one, it doesnt turn off but dims, is there a "dont dim setting"?

With App Settings, you can set it to dim or move around. See

You can also change other things like colors and how things are shown.

With always on, no more than 10% of the pixels can be on, and no pixel can be on for more than 3 minutes, which is why it's dim when stationary.
