I love my new watch!!! 😍 W8R3

[Sonia52]

Since I am getting near the end i treated myself to a Garmin 45s. And I love it!! And I am also so pleased, I thought I was slower this time around than when i was doing 5k before my ankle injury last October. But it seems I haven’t lost it!! Actually a bit faster. Not bad for a run after an hour class of yoga earlier this morning 😊🧘🏻‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I do need to figure out how set my watch to kilometres though. The app is but the watch is in miles despite showing each kilometre notification update as i run 😂

[LittleIreland Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

Multiply the mile by 1.609 to get KM 😉

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to LittleIreland]

It converts it to kilometre on the app on my phone but when i want to look at my current pace on my watch while running it is in miles 😂 This i think happened with a watch software update a few days ago. The weather apps etc on my watch suddenly went imperial despite what my phone settings are. Just need to reset it for the next run

I've got a garmin forerunner 35 so it might be different.

Go to:-

Settings

System

Units

Then it let's you choose miles or km.

Hope this helps

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Now it gives a choice of metric or statute instead. It said i was metric already, so i selected statute, then back to metric again, and now it works fine. Thank you! 😊

I want one. I want one. I want one.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to LittleIreland]

Its great!! I have tiny wrists too, so the s version is just right 😊 As well as a running watch it tells me about my sleep patterns too! It is very clever.

[LittleIreland Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

My wrists are small - I've looked at Garmins for ages, but have often been put off by my sticks for wrists lol

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to LittleIreland]

Well mine are 165mm and i have to wear children’s bangles or they fall off 😂

[LittleIreland Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

I've just had to go and measure my left wrist 😂

174mm - I'd probably get away with the bangles, but I'd get some really odd looks.

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to LittleIreland]

Once you've got one you wander how you ever did without it🤣🤣

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

So so true!!! 😍😂

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

And to be told i have a fitness age of 37 at 53 😍 If only my joints felt that young... 😂

If it’s the same as mine, press the red ‘run’ button top right on your watch. Scroll down to the bottom of the list get to ‘settings’ (not to be confused with the first option Activity settings); scroll down to ‘system’ and select; scroll to ‘units’ and select; then select kilometres.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Ah cheers. I did that to reset the weather app. I have a feeling it will say kilometres already, but as i did before after the software update: change to miles then reset back to kilometres again. Then see if that works on my next run 😂

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Nice watch Sonia52 . The watches are great , I've had mine since july 2019 and wear it 24/7 .

Your running is great considering your ankle injury. Happy running 😊

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I’ve been wearing it while i sleep, but i don’t trust wearing it in the shower let alone the bath yet 😂 Park runs again soon! Well, when it stops raining. My Beeston one is flooded!! And many other local ones are flooded too...

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

And thanx, i think all that recovery time spent in the gym really has paid off 😊 Goal 6min/k, 30 min 5k next
