Garmin Fenix 3

[Craai]

I’m getting like 1000m more than what it should be on most activities. I tried a soft reset and recalibrated the altimeter but it dis not help. I think I’ll take the watch to Navworld so they can have a look.

Had wild readings on elevation as well; barometer poked; couldn’t be fixed, had to pay in R2000 for a new F3 (was out of warranty)

What I am trying to get across is that when I do a Preloaded Workout which drives my run, a new page show up as the first Page, and all the normal Run Pages are also there.

 

I can modify all those other pages, no problem. I know how to change the layout and change a field.

 

 

But I can't change the page that says "Run 6.41 KM", and then shows me how far I still need to go and "172-212W" as my target Wattage and then below it the actual current Watts.

 

Have any of you been able to modify this separate Workout page that comes when you select to do a Workout from Garmin Connect on a Run Profile?

Ai. I’ll probably have a similar issue then.

Hi All,

 

Have you have wildly inaccurate elevation readings?

 

I seem to mostly have it with running more than cycling.

Yes, Did a little stroll the other day and it told me I had about 1900 metres elevation. There was a recent firmware update. I wonder if that introduced the issue?

I had it before that even. I was hoping the update would fix it.

My Fenix 3 HR is awesome - it works well. I also own a 5x. The only things that irritate me in use of the 3 vs the 5 are that emojis don't render and some apps (Telegram) give a summary of unread messages instead of the actual message. It's impressive that Garmin still supports the Fenix 3.

I've only used it in Cycle mode, but had the same. I don't believe the "workout" page is editable.

Thanks, I think you are right.

 

I'll use Auto Scroll to achieve what I want to do.

What’s frustrating is that only heart rate goals are zoned on this page, power isn’t so you are constantly guessing your power input to make goal.

I had to pay 3k and got a new unit.

For another Fenix 3 or a newer model?

Good question ????

Another fenix 3. But I’m happy, more watch than I need but I would like that solar charging story. I never asked if I could have upgraded.

I think the fenix 3 is too much tech for most, even 5 yrs after its launch.

 

We will hear stories of grandparents handing them down for generations to come.

 

I’ve heard of a number of issues the the 5 and 6 series, I think Garmin had their ducks in a row properly with the 3.

FYI.

 

The Fenix 3 is supposedly NOT compatible with Varia Rear Tail light Radar...

 

Well, I found a workaround to make it compatible. I didn't want to go and buy a specific device just to be able to also have the Varia feedback while riding.

After being unable to see his APP on the Connect Store, I mailed the guy at:

mjunk.myjunk@gmail.com

 

 

He replied that Garmin pulled his app from the Connect Site due to "Safety Concerns".

 

He then sent me the software files directly via email and I can say it works, the Radar picks up and displays on the Fenix 3.

 

There is much life left in these Fenix 3's
