Ha, he knew the score when offered it to him! It’s a friend who got his old one knocked off his wrist in Tenby last year.
Oh right, so is my 935 due an update then? I’ve not plugged it into Garmin Express for a while!
Don’t think so - believe it’s only been added to the 945 and up
Tested wrist HR on my 945 in the pool this morning and it worked well. I was expecting dodgy results after reading garmin forum users who said it was reading 5-10% higher but my results look fine. Are you sure the feature was rolled out to 735?
Swim HR would be good, as currently it doesn’t register swimming as any kind of training load, which is totally bogus! Unless you count arm rotations/steps.
My understanding is that it has only been rolled out to the 945 & 245. Not the older models like the 735 I’ve got.
Yes typical Garmin attitude. The minute a model is superseded by a new one updates to the old cease instantly
Any tips for fixing a broken stop/start button on a Forerunner 235?

Is it possible to drop zeros from average cadence?
When cycling? Yes, on every Garmin watch and edge I’ve ever owned
Yes. When looking at average after the ride.
That’s great if so, can you say how?
The issue with products like this, is that you’re not buying a watch to last even 10 years; I’ve had 3 Garmins in the last 3 years, for various reasons. I don’t expect to be using my 935 in 5 years - but yet my self-winding sports watches I will have for my entire life…in my sock drawer until I give-up on endurance sports

It’ll depend on what device you have as to where it’s buried in the settings. This would be the example for the Edge 520: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/edge520/EN-US/GUID-5BF2156B-9740-47F1-A564-FA22D55FDEB1.html
I have a 520! Cheers.

When using my Garmin 130 for turbo training, can I turn off the gps? It tracks me for an hour in the garden!
I don’t have a 130 but you can do it on every Garmin I have had. It’s usually under Settings & GPS.
Ps. Have you got a speed/cadence sensor for it to pick up instead?
Does anybody have experience with using a footpod to overcome failing GPS? Every run through the city the buildings throw off my GPS and add distance on (and reduce average pace).
A long run a few weeks ago was 18 miles instead of 16, and my usual run commute often adds half a mile from 8.5 to 9. Not the end of the world but slightly annoying… and now thinking this will be even more annoying in my next marathon in a few weeks time.
Is this something that could be achieved cheaply by buying a footpod rather than going for a brand new watch just yet? Does it take a few weeks to dial in to your pace/cadence before it is a good replacement for GPS when GPS is spotty?
Does that not inflate your average pace? The watch thinks you are running faster than you are to cover the extra distance
apologies yeah - I meant reduce as in make it a smaller number… which is a silly way to describe it!
Cheers for that. I’ll have a look. Yeah I have a kinetic smart that gives power and speed. Cadence comes from a crank sensor.
