If you need to watch this video I recommend you to play it in x1.5 speed

Finally a video that shows the Heart-Rate option and explains the alert feature, along with set thresholds! Thanks! This was crucial for me👌

I've had my Garmin 55 for two weeks and have used it and been very happy for my normal running activities and as I upgraded from a Garmin 35, I've been talking advantage of Garmin coach on the connect app. But I knew there was more going on directly from the watch, and this video explains those features in just the way I needed to know. Thank you! 🙏

Excelent guide! Congratulations on the quality of the video, with a perfect view of the smartwatch and a very clear didactic! Thank You 👍

Hi Carl. I can show you in that video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqGpk8Sao72bmNY.html It's the very same principle for almost any Garmin Watch.

Hi thank you for the video. I learned a great deal. As per guidebook for FR55, it states that watch has the feature for run setting pace alerts for high and low (min and max) just like you do for HR. But I am not able to do that on my 55 watch, it only gives me one value setting. Can we set pace range simply from the alert settings for run?

how to assistance bottom activate garmin forerunner 55

Hi, I have a Garmin Forerunner 55, I use to have the Forerunner 45. When I am out running and I reach the 1km distance, my watch beeps 3-4 times to tell me. When I had the Forerunner 45, it use to only beep once. Is there a way of changing the beeps on the Forerunner 55 from 3-4 down to just one beep when i reach the 1km?

Day 1 of having this thing and I’m absolutely clueless it’s so complicated I can’t end a workout!

Thanks for the video. I have a question. I go for a long run which last for 2 hours. When the running time reaches one hour it doesn't continue showing the total running time as one hour and something else but it starts a new hour. How do I adjust this so that I see a continuous total running time for the entire duration of the workout?

@HowToPM

Жыл бұрын

Usually in this type of activity, it put the hour number smaller before the minutes. It's to have a bigger minute ans second overlook. You might have some datafield that might display it differently.

@michaelmbatha8474

@@HowToPM That's exactly what happens, it shows a smaller hour count on top. If you've ran for 2 hours then there'll be a number 2 while i want to see a complete normal time, even if it's a smaller font but a normal view that one has in e.g. TomTom runner 3.

Is the Abnormal Heart Rate alert customizable to exact numbers (not presets) especially including numbers under 100bpm? If so, is the alert activated immediately upon reaching the set threshold - or is there a delay in seconds or minutes before the alarm is activated. The reason I ask is because I have a condition in which I must pace everyday tasks in order to prevent (or at least minimize) time spent over my anaerobic threshold - which is pretty darn low. :/ Thanks in advance. :)
