Auto Scroll issue (Read 383 times)

I have owned almost every version of the Forerunner series watch (201, 301, 305 and now 405 I have never used the auto scroll function in any version of the Forerunner series. However on my run yesterday, the watch mysteriously started to scroll through the various screens. I even had the bezel locked so it wasn't an issue of sweat hitting the bezel and causing this. Anyone else experience anything weird like this?

I did once but the sleeve on my jacket was hitting the bezel ring. I can't imagine how it would happen if it was locked though. That is strange. Are you sure the auto scroll didn't accidentally get turned on?

I haven't had that happen, but had the bezel go "dead" for about 10 minutes, where it wouldn't respond at all, then back to normal. All I can suggest is to reset the watch. Hold both buttons in for 5 seconds, then release the top one (keep pressing the bottom one) until the watch resets.
