I hope not. 😃 Just looking at the instructions to try and get my head round it. Not something I normally do but it looks quite complicated! Need to find out what vo2 max is too. Hee hee. Great fun!

Lots online and YouTube about setting up. It’s fairly easy (at least y Fenix 5s was)and you can have the fun of downoalding and personalising new watch faces. I have mine to buzz each km completed. It flags up the time too, also that effort thingy. BTW VO2 Max is a useful measure of how much oxygen in your blood or soemthing - anyway it measures fitness. It varies according to age and gender. If I look at the graph of mine from when Imstarted running again to now, it’s like a hike up Everest, so worth tracking - though real VO2 Max measurements are taken with you running on a treadmill wearing an oxygen mask and pushing to the absolute limit of your ability.

Excellent. I’ve got another late meeting today but I’m hoping mine will be sat in my “safe place” at home waiting when I get there. Wish I’d gone for that colour now - the red is nice and subtle.

As if by magic a delivery notification pops up.

Oh that’s definitely something to look forward to then. Mine’s on charge; so sitting here twiddling my thumbs and passing time.

My lovely wife just handed this to me last night !. However I’m a bit new as to how to use it and how/ what to hook it up to . Is there an app I should download for my iPhone ?

Aren’t you a lucky boy! I downloaded the Garmin Connect app. And then YouTube videos and google 😂 I then played with lots of different watch faces which you can access and download from the app Connect IQ store.
