    I got my Forerunner 45 watch yesterday and I’m finding your tutorials very useful. Thank you!
    I want to add that users can also long press the “Light” button and it brings up some shortcuts and you can turn off the Bluetooth syncing from there.

    So, to increase battery life, don't use the watch at all. Now I got it.

      Yup, that's what i thought. Xiaomi band 6 with Amoled screen can last 10 days if everything turn off.

      he forgot to say. To increase battery life turn off your phone that is a pretty good one.

      My thought exactly. It appears to me that with the suggested settings, GF45 is nothing more than an ordinary wrist watch

    Thanks for posting - I am also curious how to clear off notifications from the watch as I always have the notification bubble showing?

    If you just turn off the notifications feature, does that effect anything with the sleep tracking and sleep wakeup alarm/vibration?

  • @TheChapin333
    @TheChapin333 3 роки тому +1

    I only want the syncing function without the phone notifications, when I disconnected the phone it seems to be that it nothing, can you do it or do you have to have connected to your phone? If that’s the case I’m send it back

    Does anyone else’s Forerunner turns of in run mode when the GPS is in around 80-60%?? Why is Garmin not addressing this issue, and there are no videos about it, but Garmins forum seems to be absolutely littered with the same complaints???

  • @nathan19811
    @nathan19811 3 роки тому

    i have always been dubious about my garmins battery, i recently went hiking and had it on using GPS for aslong as i could, it would average around 9hrs before it died (from 100%) charged, is this normal?

      unfortunately the battery is a real issue in the Garmin watch. it's a real garbage

      Yes you can. Push the start button then choose your training like run or walk, then push down button, find the gps menu and turn it off

      @HyeBrownIz 3 роки тому +2

      Did you find how to change the watch face? I didn't like the default and took me a while to figure it out. Hold down the UP bottom. First screen says "Watch Face" so hit the Start/Stop button. Push the Down/Up bottom to select the face you like :)
