CogNoscensme AHA Sep 2021 1:46pm, 11 Sep 2021 721 posts	CogNoscensme AHA Mutley, on my Fenix 5, pressing the lap button in pause mode takes me to the data screens for a little while and I can see HR or time of day or whatever. Then it reverts. Don't know if it would work for yours.
Snail Sep 2021 1:48pm, 11 Sep 2021 548 posts	Snail Muttley - The bit I missed was that, when you reach the Heart Rate Monitor in the menu, you then get the option to switch on/off
K5 Gus Sep 2021 1:58pm, 11 Sep 2021 4,656 posts	K5 Gus Mutley, if I've understood what you want correctly, ie you want to change what data scrolls across the screen while an activity is paused - then I'm not aware that you can alter this. I've always just had to do what Cog says, ie press Lap to take you back to the data screens.

Muttley Sep 2021 7:39pm, 11 Sep 2021 1,220 posts	Muttley Hmmm. I shall try the lap button when I go out for a bimble tomorrow. I tried Snail's suggestion but the menus are different on the 245 (but thank you anyway!) The 245 has doodahs called a widget loop and widget glances, but I haven't a clue what they mean.

Bowman Sep 2021 8:31am, 12 Sep 2021 257 posts	Bowman Muttley, I think you have the answer here: forums.garmin.com
Muttley Sep 2021 12:55pm, 12 Sep 2021 1,221 posts	Muttley So, I pressed lap during this morning's slow plod and yes, it takes me to whichever screen I was using. In this case, the walk-run. To look at hr I have to scroll as usual, with sweaty hands. Not ideal but not a disaster either. It's a pain that you can't customize the way the screens cycle when paused. This might be the only thing you can't customize on the watch. But pressing lap will do when I'm running to hr. I might make a suggestion to Garmin. Thank you to all who chipped in!
K5 Gus Sep 2021 1:02pm, 12 Sep 2021 4,657 posts	K5 Gus flanker - I was wondering if you were thinking of the data that briefly pops up each lap, you can definitely customise that screen ( on Fenix at least, not sure about other models )
