Garmin Instinct - Adding Widgets and Adjusting the Widget Wheel

[@jlruiz7634]

Can all these adjustments and settings be done through the Garmin connect app or does it have to be done only through the actual watch?

This is the 1st generation Instinct, everything has to be done on the actual watch. If you have the Instinct 2 or later you can do them on the watch or the Garmin Connect app on your phone.

Sir, is it possible to show the watch battery life percentage on the main screen. Not the body battery, but the watch battery. I don't mind the bars, but I'd prefer actual numbers.

Hello, believe me I hear where you are coming from. I wish you could do that as well, but unfortunately there is no way to display the battery percentage on the main screen, only the battery as displayed in bars. I did a video on how to see the percentage, it sounds like you already know this as well but I included it just in case. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDaqIKia7hgi6c

Hello Again. You’ve helped me on several prior occasions. Question : In the “Run” widget....... Can I change the beep and vibration to go off in 1/2 mile increments instead of the 1 mile marks.........? If so, could you please walk me through it. Thank you in advance sir. Tony

Hi there. Check out this video. . . I get long winded so you can jump to about 1:30 in the video. What you want to do is an activity alert for the running activity (not the widget), and you will want to set a distance alert for every half mile. Check this out and if it doesn't get you what you need just let me know - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roC1h6qOnLmUa9k
