I've got a scratch on it now that would have scratched the glass for sure. I personally have to have that peace of mind with the protector.

What reason?

The avoiding-a-scratch vs non-functional-touchscreen-as-a-result.

If I were doing as much running etc as you do, I might think it was worth losing the touchscreen function. But most of the time, I'm using touchscreen to find out what wacko alert I've just received.

There's no problem with it under normal circumstances.

When my finger gets hot and sweaty then I swipe the screen several times the sweat on the screen dries and it gets sticky. So when I'm running and go to swipe it's like my finger lands on a field and it takes me to that screen. The touch not working isn't the issue. Just to be clear.

I imagine it could be an issue without a screen protector and that's why Garmin uses buttons too.

Nothing. It's only an issue when my hands are hot and sticky and I'm running trying to use the touch screen. Now that I know that's the problem, I'll just use the buttons when I'm running. Problem solved.

I love the screen protector.

I'm going to have to break down and buy a screen protector. I never had any issues with the 2whatevever number it was years and years ago... probably like 215. Then I had the 935 for like 4 years, zero issues. 955 for like a year and nothing. But, I didn't want to tell you about it, but I cracked the whole face. Right in the middle and it cracked outward in like six different cracks. Fortunately, Garmin replaced it for free since it's so new, but they aren't obligated to. Don't want that to happen again.

Oh man that's cool they replaced it. But these protectors probably wouldn't have prevented that. The ones for the 955 may have, but these are just gonna keep you from getting minor scratches. It's just a film. But better than nothing as far as I'm concerned. A little bitty scratch in the right place would drive me nucking futs. I've got one one the protector now, but just knowing my screen is fine it doesn't bother me. Lol. 🤪

Kind of bothers me it cracked. I don’t even know how I did it. I was just doing yard work. I’ve definitely been unbelievably rougher hiking, running, in the gym, etc, than anything I was doing at that time

I'm always reading comparisons between watches and that's one negative with the 965 compared to the Galaxy watch 5 and the new 6 classic, and even with the high-end Epix. They all have sapphire where the 965 is still using gorilla glass.

None of that means much to me, unless I done what you done did. Lol.

I'm glad it worked out for you though.

Lawd help me. I've discovered badge challenges on the Garmin app. I've been on level 2 for a long time and only need 2 points to get to level 3. Wtf? How do I get points to get to the next level? Is 3 the highest level? If not how many are there?

I just found out how to accept challenges to get more points. I have 5 for July I'm working on for a total of 9 points. Lol.

I envy you. I get flooded with announcements for the dang things.

I’m assuming your notifications are turned on, or whatever term your electronics use for endless chirping and nagging.

I'm not comprehending this post.

Why you envy me?

"You received sew and sew badge" notifications were plentiful at first, but then they all but stopped. I got curious how to get them and started looking around. Found where I could pick certain ones as challenges. The other ones I just got from happenstance.

Envious that you don’t get badge notifications, at least not anymore. They’re motivating for some, but not for me.

lol. My old Fitbit went nuts the time I loaned it to my husband for his 5-mile walk. “Look! You can do this again! Look at how many new badges you could get!” I enjoyed breaking its heart. 💔

Oh, yeah except for text and calls errthang is turned off. I only get notifications for earned badges on the app when I go open it to check out my stats from my activity.

@volfanbill more notes you may or may not be interested in.

I may have gotten closer to solving the LA Shortage thing. I've noticed my zones keep resetting to default after I set them manually. I don't know how soon afterwards, but today I figured out why. I confirmed it after a search and others said that was it.

When you go into Zones and Heart rates in User Profile...

Garmin Devices
965 forerunner
User profile
Heart Rates and Power Zones

Auto Detection. All 3 are ON by default. I turned all 3 off. Now my settings stay as I set them.

Makes sense. Don't know why I didn't think of that before now. We'll see if this improves anything.

Also.

I got to level 3 today after receiving another badge for a challenge. Yay.

But I looked it up and there are 10 levels and according to someone that did the math, it would take approximately 39 years to reach level 10.

I'll continue to take on challenges each month just because its extra motivation, but it looks like level 3, possibly 4 is where I'll max out.

I'm not really sure how accurate all this stuff my watch does really is, like Body Battery, Training Readiness, Recovery, HRV, Stress and Sleep levels and score. But I do know it is accurate.

Supposedly they all effect each other. I keep an excel spreadsheet that I update several times a day with all that info and more on it.

Something I noticed is when I intake alot of sugar, especially later in the day, all those numbers get out of wack.

I feel like I have a hangover this morning and all my numbers are terrible. And I know exactly why.

It's scary to think how bad I abused my body during my drinking/smoking/restaurant career. The body truly is amazing.

Tl;dr ngaf

Why? Something you ate yesterday?

The Sugar. Long story but I ate a bunch of sugar yesterday to see if my suspicions were correct on a couple of things. As far as I'm concerned they were.

I figured it was sugar related.
