Calling Garmin 235 techies ...

[Granspeed]

My new watch shows a red line of variable length segments around part of the time face. What is it trying to tell me??? 🤔😳🙃

[ktsok]

It depends... watch faces are customisable so it could represent how near you are to your target number of steps, for instance, or your battery percentage. That’s my best guess! I had a play with my watch settings and hid the segments to keep it simpler...

mine did this, and I played around with it and got it off. Is it something to do with moving? where you get an alert if garmin thinks you've stayed in the same position for too long. ?! sorry I cant remember. Yes and as ktsok it could be your steps.... just have play I love mine!

I think it’s the move bar by default. My 35 likes to annoy me by waiting until I’m driving after an 8 mile run and reminding me to move 🤪

It can be turned off in device settings in the connect app.

Hahaha, exactly what my Garmin does too!

[Granspeed Graduate10]

Right, I sort of see now and will have a play. Thanks everyone. Hadn’t realised that’s the sort of thing I could control. 😳 Now the question is: will this watch reinforce my control freak tendencies?? 🤣🤣 Luckily, it controls only my own little world!

As ever, this is the place to come with questions. 👍👏🏼

Maybe it's just saying it loves you 🤷‍♀️

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

Not sure we’ve established that much of a relationship yet! 🤣🤣

[MarkyD Graduate10]

You should never see that!!!

It is the inactivity bar. It’ll slowly creep around the watch face nagging you. Make sure that you get up and move about - I think 200 steps - every hour. You may get a Move alert on the watch, too.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to MarkyD]

Ah. Yes, it vanished when I turned the Move alert off as a test. The 200 steps thing perhaps explains why it would be there even when I’d been moving. And it seemed pretty random about the buzzing too. Not sure I’ll put it back on....😧

I can never find the setting I changed again. Spent weeks trying to find how to turn the girl who tells me my pace on the phone back on. In the end discovered it wasn't on the watch at all... doh. I think you need to be under 20, maybe 12, to fully understand these.

😊 Yet another call on the grandchildren. They work hard for me sometimes!
