Garmin Lets Users Pause Training Status During Illness or Vacation

3 articles · Updated · Notebookcheck.net · Jul 21

Summary

  • Garmin says smartwatch users can pause or hide Training Status from the Training Status Glance when illness, injury or vacation makes normal activity data misleading.
  • The option addresses complaints about demotivating inactivity prompts during recovery, when rest is necessary and performance metrics can become counterproductive.
  • Garmin notes other notification-limiting methods still leave the watch calculating status in the background, making a full pause or hidden view the cleaner workaround.
  • The clarification followed a Reddit feature request to let users effectively “call in sick,” highlighting that the capability already exists but is not widely known.
