Forums >Gears and Wears>Garmin Forerunner: helpful hints for noobs
I also hate that when you stop and start your watch it counts as a lap/split. So if you do come to an intersection at 0.42 miles and stop your watch, you won't be able to get a mile split at 1.0 because the split restarts when the watch restarts. I wish Garmin would fix that.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Hmm...I don't have that problem with my 205. I can stop and start it a million times no problem without triggering a lap. The nly thing that will trigger a lap is if I press the lap button or have it set to auto-lap. Maybe there is a switch somewhere that turns that "feature" on/off?

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I've got mine set to turn off in 15 seconds. If I tap the power button after it is on and ready to go, then after that, any button I press will turn on the light. The automatic off works fine for me.

Any way to make the heart rate info bigger than that tiny # in the upper righthand corner? If so, I haven't come across it. I guess I could run with bifocals.
