Using Focus Modes on a Garmin Watch

Focus modes on select Garmin® watches allow you to control a variety of watch settings while the watch is in specific situations, such as during your scheduled sleep times.

Accessing Focus Modes

1. Hold the UP/MENU (middle left) button.

2. Select  Watch Settings.

3. Select Focus Modes.

Using the Sleep Focus Mode

Sleep focus mode can be scheduled for while you typically sleep. You can adjust the following settings:

• Schedule: Set times for each day of the week for when you typically sleep. The watch will still track sleep outside of these times.

• Watch face: Toggle between a simplified digital watch face or making no change to your watch face appearance.

• Notifications & Alerts: Set which smart notifications and wellness or system alerts you receive.

• Sound & Vibe: Adjust volume and vibration settings during the sleep schedule times.

• Display & Brightness: Adjust the display and touch settings during the sleep schedule times.

Using the Activity Focus Mode

The activity focus mode will automatically engage any time the watch is recording an activity. You can adjust the following settings:

• Satellites: Select the default satellite constellations used by GPS enabled activities.

• Voice Alerts: Adjust the audio voice prompt alerts that will play on the watch during activities. If you have a watch which features a speaker, these prompts will play through your watch speaker or headphones that are paired to the watch. If your watch does not have a speaker, the alert prompts can play through your paired phone speaker or through headphones that are paired to your phone or the watch. See Enabling Spoken Audio Prompts in the Garmin Connect App for more information about voice alert audio prompts.

• Notifications & Alerts: Set which smart notifications and wellness or system alerts you receive during activities.

• Display & Brightness: Adjust the display and touch settings during activities.

• Sound & Vibe: Adjust volume and vibration settings during activities.

Some of these settings can also be configured for individual activity profiles, such as the satellite settings, or can be affected by activity Power Modes on compatible watches. To learn more about Power Modes see How to Use Power Manager on Garmin Watches and you can also search your owner's manual for activity settings to learn how to customize them.
