I 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.

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.
