Your vívoactive time is set by phone sync or GPS; turn on Auto Set for hands-off updates, or switch to Manual when you need a fixed local time. If your Garmin vívoactive is off by an hour, a whole time zone, or keeps snapping back after you fix it, you’re not alone. Most “wrong time” […]

Set time to Auto, sync with your phone or GPS, and your watch will snap to the correct local time, time zone, and daylight saving. Your Forerunner 55 usually keeps time without you thinking about it. Then you travel, your phone changes time zones, daylight saving flips, or a sync hiccup hits, and the watch

You can stop a Garmin plan by switching off auto-renew where you bought it, then saving the cancellation email and checking your next statement. Garmin subscriptions show up in a few places: your Garmin account, Apple’s App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or a card on file. The clean cancel is the one that matches where

Save a steady treadmill run, enter the belt distance when prompted, and your watch will learn a closer indoor pace and distance. Treadmill stats can feel off in a way that ruins the whole session. You hit “6:00/km” on the console, your wrist shows something else, and the training load you logged stops matching what

A Garmin workout can be built in Garmin Connect, synced to your watch, then started from the Workouts list inside the matching activity. Structured workouts are where a Garmin watch earns its keep. Instead of trying to memorize intervals, you follow prompts on your wrist: warm-up, hard reps, recovery, cool-down. You create the session once

Install a HYROX Connect IQ app, add its data field to a Cardio activity, then log one session to capture runs and stations together. HYROX mixes running with fixed stations, so a plain “run” profile can feel half-finished. The goal with a Garmin watch is simple: one button press, one file saved, splits you can

Track CrossFit by recording a Strength or Cardio session, then rename it and add your WOD details so your history stays searchable. Garmin Connect doesn’t ship with a single “CrossFit” activity on most devices, and that’s normal. CrossFit blends lifting, gymnastics, and conditioning, so one label rarely matches what you did. The good news is

Save the GPX as a course in Garmin Connect, sync your watch, and start it from the watch’s Navigation or Courses menu. You’ve got a GPX route from a friend, a race organizer, Strava, Komoot, Ride with GPS, or a hiking site. Now you want it on your Garmin watch so you can follow the

Install the Spotify app via Connect IQ, sign in with Premium, then download playlists to the watch over Wi-Fi for phone-free listening. If you’ve got a Garmin music-capable watch, Spotify can live right on your wrist. That means runs without a phone bouncing in your pocket, gym sessions without a screen glare, and one less

Your Garmin can log a nap automatically or from a watch nap screen, then show it in Garmin Connect with timing and recovery metrics. If you’ve ever woken up from a daytime snooze and thought, “Why isn’t this showing up?”, you’re not alone. Garmin’s nap tracking is real, it’s useful, and it can also be
