Garmin Fenix 3

[Bobbo_SA]

Ok help me out here: I finally managed to down load the file in the Garmin Directory but the Watch still says Version 4.0? How do I update it through the update path?

 

Or is 4.0 the latest version?

 

Is yours a HR by anychance?

 

If so then 4.0 is the latest yes.

How do you "tone it down"

On the app you can take away the gear pic, the logos, the bullets for hours, minutes etc leaving you with a cleaner watch face.

And its this done on the Watch or on the Garmin Express App?

Express app.

 

The PC based s/w used to be able to change it also but its gone now.  Maybe they bring it back.

 

But for now phone/app based changes.  Takes about 5 seconds to change from the press of "save"

Great. Will give it a bash later and see if I can get it right. Thanks for that.

So my fenix has frozen on me. Cannot do anything, cant even switch it off.

 

Plugged it into the charger and nothing, doesn't even register on the pc.

 

What can I do?

Try doing a soft reset. Hold the light button until it restarts.

Any one had issues with vo2 max...

 

I have a HR with newest 4.0 software and use a strap hr strap and not biuld in optical.

The vo2 max kept dropping till it showed bottomed out at 38. Did a full factory reset and then it gave me a 45 again for cycling ( which is pretty close to what it used to be) still to do a run to see what the running is.

I have the optical hr and since i bought it about a month ago it's been all good.

 

This morning i went out riding and the watch was showing no HR, stopped and restarted a few times but nothing for the 2 hour ride.

 

No idea what to check for, anyone got some suggestions?

 

thnx

Is the sapphire version worth the extra moola?

If you do trail running then I'll say the sapphire is the better option.

Hi People 

 

So I got the Fenix 3 Sapphire HR yesterday from Autostyle and all is well with the watch however I a questions:

 

How do you disable the auto save function?

 

Near the end of the ride this morning I went for a coffee which took about 30 min and when I wanted to carry the watch had saved the ride.

 

I have since read that I can resume the ride if I scroll further done however I would rather not have this feature enabled.
