Question and answer
Number of questions: 13I have reset the watch to factory settings. Stupid...now I can't find the vivoactive 3, neither on the phone nor on the watch....
This message has been automatically translatedI always get altitude instead of speed in Strava while I don't see that in others. I have searched everywhere in Strava and Garmin but can't figure it out. Does anyone know how I can change the settings? I'm not interested in altitude at all but I can't turn it off or change the priority anywhere. In the example you can see what I mean, I would also like average speed to be mentioned.
This message has been automatically translatedIt seems like my Garmin watch is not set to the right location. The weather shows 35 degrees in March and it is 2 degrees outside, and the GPS is spinning. How do I change it? /Anette
I have an iPhone and I don't know how to disable notifications on the watch so that I only receive notifications when someone calls, normal messages, and from Messenger. Also, how do I set it to reply with a short answer on the watch?
Hello, When I create a playlist (synchronization with iTunes), only a part of the songs is copied to the watch: for example, for a playlist of 47 songs on iTunes, it shows 47 confirmed after copying to the "song list" in the software, but only 26 when I check on the watch. The same goes for all the playlists - there are missing songs every time. Does anyone have an explanation? Thank you.
Good day, I have a question. Since Christmas, I have had the Vivomove 3S watch and there have been no problems with them. Until now...I can't charge them. When I start charging them, a white triangle appears on the display. When I check after a while to see if the battery is charging, nothing happens. What does the triangle mean? Thank you for your answer.
This message has been automatically translatedCan I also get a date display on the watch face?
This message has been automatically translatedI tried to download another watch face, however, I am unable to do because a notification informed there is not enough memory. How do I delete memory to make more room. Vivoactive 3
