Hey Jake, not on the 245 unfortunately. The data is worked out during the syncing process

[@feelfitterdotcom]

@@jakecowdry8430 @shanebow I think the built in barometer / altimeter is the key to a lot of "on watch" metrics even floors climbed. Otherwise it's calculated based on the GPS altitude data - not really very detailed, compared to a sensor on your wrist. - A lot of the older watches (expensive at time of launch) have these extra sensors - careful research recommend 😀

Was in Connect IQ, looking at data screens, and came across Shanebow reference in reviews, so popped over here to have a look. I'm delighted with the information and demo's, and have subscribed, and liked. Thanks a lot Shanebow. Pat.

[@shanebow]

Cheers pat, really great comments, appreciated!!

[@ryguy3a]

this was so much more helpful than what Garmin gave us after we downloaded the app in the store. there is a guy that starts to walk through out to set this up. however, he jumps a couple steps and doesn't show how to get to the data screen. Hes just automatically there. I was getting very frustrated because I couldnt figure out how to get to the screen to add peters racer. let alone figuring out what to do to change the settings after its installed. THis was so much more effective in walking through how to set everything up. thank you very much!

Once installed go into add a new data field, select the option that only shows one field. Then when selecting what field this is go into custom and it should appear. The Apps only work on single data fields when adding them to the watch. Hope this helps!

this is pretty cool, I just got my watch yesterday (3 years late I guess!) and was trying to figure out what all stuff I can do to geek out on it.

[@scottburrell4100]

Hi Shane, sorry to bother you again. Have you noticed today with the new 3.90 software update (this is on the 245) that you have to have either sound or vibrate on for a notification? This is so frustrating as I like the notifications but don't like either sound or vibrate, Garmin seem to have taken the option away or it's a bug on the update. Can go into the system settings on the watch and turn vibrate off but it still vibrates. On the app there is no option to change it, apart from completely turn notifications off which I don't want to do.

[@shanebow]

Hey Scott. I saw the update and was going to do a deep dive into it on a few days! Sounds like a backwards move there. I will update on my findings. Have a good one mate

[@belabiro3158]

My dream is for years to use my garmin as my suunto 10 years ago. Finally, u showed me the ghost runner, cool. But how can I use the auto lap (every km) and the lap time that I choose when I pushed (e.g. I reach the top of the hill). So autolap and lap separately. Otherwise, it measured the autolap from I used the lap. It's ridiculous.

I'm used to Wahoo devices, where you can edit everything from the phone app. Do I understand correctly that that's not possible on Garmin devices? Can you only edit all this on the watch itself?! That's bonkers!

Shanebow, good explenations of all the possibilities!! one question why is it not possible to choose 2 data screens. for example i want to see peter race pacer and single run field together in running mode.

Have you tried the Single Run Field (Single Field) data field? Also, with the all in one (very similar to the Single Field, do you notice if it drains the battery any faster than say the stock fields?

Definitely no battery drain. I guess it's recording all the data anyway so not having to work any harder.

I have a question about Peters Race Pacer. For example if I put 5000 meters as distance, after I pass 5000 meters (5K run), is my running session going to stop automatically with this Data field or I can still keep running until I decide to finish it myself by clicking on stop button on my 245?!

It won't stop. So you can stop it when you want and you then get the whole run that you did
