This is the only Garmin resource that showed me where to find the SYSTEM control. Thanks a million!!!

[@helenaburdova6132]

i would just like to thank you, because seeing it helped me a lot to set different measures on my watch. Thanks!

[@Chirp296]

Thanks for the heads up about the backlight after sunset feature. I forgot to set this on my new Fenix 7x that I picked up this week. These watches are packed with features that can be easily forgotten.

[@kathrineb.silalahi5144]

Thank you so much. It's really help. :)

[@4ndy123]

Loving all these 245 videos. Mine comes this week. Quick question, I've started a 10km plan and I'm wondering is it possible to set up alerts for 1mile at a faster pace, 4 min slow jog ×4. With the alerts, or would the alerts keep going off during the slower 4 min pace?

[@carolwright280]

this was so helpful! really like your pace of showing us how to set up the watch!

[@deande04]

Hi, great overview, I just got my Forerunner 245 (non-music) 2 days ago,
Q- Do I need to keep my Bluetooth enable (on phone) all the time, to connect it with my Forerunner 245?
Thanks

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Thank you👍

[@xpaul9875]

Can you please help me with the world clock or secondary clock. How to change the timezone.

[@eitanrahmany7982]

Thank you for the video. Can I turn off the display do it will be dark unless I touch the buttons?

[@johntsaousidis180]

Can you help me with the sleep tracking? I've worn it to bed 2 nights straight and added my sleep time and age is settings but I get absolutely no stats... I can not find any help guides that troubleshoot for this anywhere?

[@vscleverley7463]

How do I put an exercise into my watch - I have running and walking as an option, but would like to add hiking.

[@BrandmagicLA]

Thank you incredibly helpful.

THANK you! THIS is the tutorial I was looking for as a brand-new user. Newbies, watch THIS one before you watch the 41-minute "Review and Full Walkthrough" video by Gauging Gadets. (I just left a sour comment there because I found that one first and couldn't keep up... I'll try it later after I'm a bit more familiar & comfortable wiht the device. It's only been an hour or so, I'll get there...)

[@garyedworthy6138]

Just upgraded from Fitbit Versa to Garmin Forerunner 245 music. Love it so far day 1. I want to shut off notifications txts calls etc to my Garmin. It’s doing it automatically. But I just want to basically use watch for running and sleep tracking. How do I shut off notifications? Thanks

[@GaugingGadgets]

Do you want to turn off all notifications? Also, what type of phone do you have?

[@KliknRolla]

How to Display Temp Data ? Mine is not showing - Thanks

[@marybethparr7805]

Like to ocean swim and wondering how to track?

[@AK-pg3tn]

Does it have temp sensor?

[@primalops2096]

I'm trying to put widgets etc on my watch but its all grayed out on my phone no idea why

[@adrianwilson4338]

I find the standard display setting too dim as default. It appears there is no way to adjust this on the Forerunner 245 Music. I notice you can change the backlight setting to be 'always on'. This is the screen display brightness level I prefer. However, will this significant deplete the battery life?

[@vicvargavocalist9766]

I just got mine and I am thinking of returning it because it is very dim and there is now way to adjust the brightness! There is on other Garmin watches but not the 245 Music.

[@jefferystecker7335]

I'd like to set up my watch display as you have at the start of your video, can you please point me into the direction, please. thanks!

[@GaugingGadgets]

Sure, I recommend checking out my tutorial covering how to customize the watch faces on the 245 th-cam.com/video/fIT7CJ9EAsg/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider liking and subscribing!

What could cause a GPS problem on Garmin Forerunner 245?
I have been using it for less than 2 months and had localization issues ...

[@jacksonsheaffer8966]

Donkey Kong Country - The Trilogy I have that problem to but I watched a video and if you sync it outside it before you run it updates your GPS automatically based on where you synced it making it easier for satellites to find you. So you can sync outside put your phone somewhere, walk to your where your gonna start your run, and it should connect to GPS

[@abhipatil9499]

How to add and edit UTC

[@gliderrider]

The temperature is never even close. Anything we can do for that?

[@jonmsardual7312]

I just turn on the during workout & not during workout gesture on but still not working!

[@soularproject]

Sometimes I press a button accidentally, and I cannot get back to the watch face. I press the back button over and over again oh, and it simply reverts back and forth between two screens. What is the bulletproof way of Simply getting back to the watch screen. Thanks for your video.

[@sharonscofield6097]

I have the same problem, I would like to know his reply.

[@cabbieman]

does this have an alarm for waking me up?

[@zippydoo9533]

Can I turn off Bluetooth?

[@kimpline]

can someone help me finding the brightness setting on watchface (forerunner 245 music)

[@fidelbanuelos9601]

Same. Mine doesn't have that option.

[@francoisgervais6073]

Still waiting on this one!

[@fidelbanuelos9601]

@@francoisgervais6073 the 245 doesn't offer brightness.

[@matthewstenzel4513]

Does my iPhone need to turn on Bluetooth in order to do what you did in this video?

[@GaugingGadgets]

No, this is all on the watch only.

[@matthewdix833]

Might sound a bit dumb - but how do you get back to the home screen.

[@GaugingGadgets]

Simply hit the back button until you see the watch face. Thanks for watching!

[@mustirasa]

How to adjust brightness on fr245??

[@francoisgervais6073]

Any luck finding this info?

[@mustirasa]

[@vicvargavocalist9766]

You can't!

[@averagelife5523]

This device have no altimeter in it... if we connect this 245 with strava while Cycling... can we see elevation gain?

[@logittec]

Same question here. I thing I read somewhere that it shows the value but it not quite reliable because use the GPS data.

[@niniDianne-v2d]

I lost my home page

[@dornkile5616]

You need to slow down - instructions are way too fast for anyone to follow without constantly pausing. Thanks for the video though.

[@user-ft8dm1zm6f]

Then pause it bro
