FirstV8 Posted December 29, 2021 Share I use my Garmin daily to record my rides . I have never reset it over the last 3 years so it has a lot of data on it . I am going to reset it on the 1st Jan 22. My concern is that i will lose my Garmin Connect Data on my phone as well or am i safe in thinking that it is on a different piece of equipment and wont be affected . I preferred the days of chalk and a slate board , that if you rubbed it off you knew it was gone . I think by saying that im showing my age . 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted December 29, 2021 Share I had to reset my Garmin watch a few months ago. I lost nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Crispy Posted December 29, 2021 Share You need to connect it to your pc and delete a few of the log files and update the firmware. Whilst you're at it, you can edit the startup file and include your name and number there, so that if you lose it, your contact details will be there for the finder Jigghead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryS Posted December 30, 2021 Share You don't need to reset it. You can just go into history and delete all the stored rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigghead Posted January 7, 2022 Share I've never reset any of my devices, I just assumed the unit would deleted the older files in order to make room for the new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets bogged down and takes longer to boot etc when it fills up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
