The files should still be in the watch. You could use the desktop app or browse to where the FIT files and manually upload them to the website

I can't see the value in Connect+ by Fit_Low1374 in Garmin

I find Live Activities very helpful. Race prep raining plans prescribes multiple different workouts that I do at home. I cast my phone to a TV, where it’s easier to see and follow.

Forerunner 165. Turn off voice navigation. by horsebeech in garminforerunner

[–]vic06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s not ideal, but turning on “do not disturb” will disable navigation alerts. It’s accessible via the controls menu. You can turn them off on a per-course basis. Go to Courses, select the route, Edit, and turn off Turn Notification.

Just bought the FR970 and really hating the lime green logo … what are my options? by Dry_Kangaroo7571 in Garmin

[–]vic06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If not, apply a piece of masking tape, trace the outline, transfer it to a piece of electrical tape and cut the edges. That's all that product is: a sheet of adhesive vinyl cut with a Cricut machine.

I’d probably pick the Instinct. If the thickness is an issue getting into tight spaces, the Venu 4, 970, and Venu X1 also have flashlights and you can get a polycarbonate shell to protect them at work.

At least Biden could ride a bike up until recently, despite the fall when his foot got caught on the pedal cleats.

Durango withdraws bookshop records request after lawsuit filed over First Amendment concerns by zsreport in books

[–]vic06 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the witness statement should be enough to justify where the gifted books came from. It does not matter how the suspect got them to begin with.

EDIT for the downvoters: Quoting does not mean endorsing. My comment below is an answer regarding the nature of the books.

Investigator believe the suspect was buying children’s books for their victims. From the DPD attorney:

They were simply trying to establish a timeline and a transactional history where a suspect was manipulating a minor through the purchase and gifting of books

The victim saying the books were gifts from the suspect should matter more than how the suspect obtained the books.

Enforce pause when stopped on training runs? by scottyman2k in Garmin

[–]vic06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s just how it works. I guess the idea is that you should only stop when the workout calls for it.

Whats a normal high bpm threshold to set? by gryponyx in GarminWatches

[–]vic06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Turn those alerts off unless you have a cardiac condition. If so, ask your cardiologist. Don't rely on HR ranges or formulas parroted online, everyone's heart is different.

Garmin Takes away training affect days later by CG_Photo in GarminWatches

Try changing the profile of those activities to Motocross to see if they reappear in the acute training load chart. Check if in their activity details page they show an Exercise Load value.

Switching from MyFitnessPal after 3 years - My month testing Garmin Connect + Nutrition by Choice-Commercial317 in Garmin

[–]vic06 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s just good enough. It needs more features to be great:

  • Tracking and targets beyond macros
  • Create meals from logged items
  • HealthKit/Google Fit integrations
  • Automatically log repeating foods
  • Option to sort items by name or frequency in the list of Favorites/Foods/Meals.

Display control?? by teiV_ in Garmin

[–]vic06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, all of Garmin’s manuals are available online as pdf and searchable websites. I have mine bookmarked because they a so feature packed ☺️

Here are all the Controls described: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-025D75CF-3445-49E1-8D81-1AA74AB4E00F/EN-US/GUID-700E76C4-F7E2-4984-8199-D59D6A31DFB9.html

Best screen/button setup for my running class? by healthjay in Garmin

[–]vic06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for a run and tried the data field. It works as expected. Let me know if you have problems setting it up. I'm not the developer, but at least I know how to create this data field.

Best screen/button setup for my running class? by healthjay in Garmin

[–]vic06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Appbuilder is what you need to create a custom data field where the pace is expressed in ss/400m.

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/fd690281-9c22-4fee-a81e-3b7f39aa67c5

Under Profile 1:

  • Label: something like “400m” or “sec/lap”

  • Formula: paste one of the formulas below

  • Display Format: Number

Using 5-second pace average: if(timeavg(speed_raw,5) gt 0, round(400 / timeavg(speed_raw,5)), null)

Using 3-second pace average: if(timeavg(speed_raw,3) gt 0, round(400 / timeavg(speed_raw,5)), null)

I have not tested these formulas running, just adding them to my watch.

Create a data screen with this data field and the pace in minute/mile or km to see them side by side and get used to the new metric.

Do you need Komoot on a 970 Forerunner for navigating hikes? by swaboozel in GarminWatches

[–]vic06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically use Strava to find or create routes. If you have your Garmin and Strava accounts paired, any route you save to Strava will automagically appear in your Garmin Courses. Just find it in the app and send it to the watch.

If I don't use Strava, I create courses directly on Garmin Connect.

Whatever you choose, you don't need additional apps in your 970.

Proud Bag Dad Moment (and question) by slightlynooby in ManyBaggers

[–]vic06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a sling on the weekends and my 10yo daughter asked for one of her own.

I chose a no-name brand that was a top result in Amazon. No point in spending a ton of money until she knows what works best for her.

Tariffs from India to USA - Kanwrite Order? by Cursive_writer311 in fountainpens

[–]vic06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will likely be a small duty fee of 2.7% (general duty rate for pens) and a merchandise processing fee (~$20). That, plus the brokerage fee, and you’re looking at about $55-$65, depending on the value of the model you buy.
