Garmin Lets Users Pause Training Status During Illness or Vacation

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.
