New update gives me a new screen

ChrsAndrade

Hi, I have just updated my Tomtom Runner 2 watch and now when I press left, what used to show me my step count now shows a screen I have never seen before. I'm sure it is something added in the update but I have no idea what it is? Can anyone help? It shows a horizontal line with a little flag on it on the right hand side and then underneath it says 'get going'. (I can still get my step count etc I just have to go down once I am on this new screen).

Thanks

I have just noticed mine has done the same. I presume it will keep the date updated when we plug the watch in to a computer.

I have also just noticed that in the goal section there is now 'points', which I think is what this new screen is. I have re-selected steps as my goal and this new screen is at the bottom of my daily tracker stuff. But I have no idea what points are??

A key part of the latest update was the addition of Fitness Point, which are an indicator of progress in your physical fitness. All activities are assigned a fitness point score based on how long you spend in Zone 2 and above. The more active you are the more points you get, The goal is to average 100 points a day or 500 points a week to improve your fitness. Here is a full description:

Hello everybody ! I newcomer on this forum. I'm the owner of a Runner 2 and I had update (new 1.6.26)my Runner2 to the last firmware . And it seems that l've got the same pb :It shows a horizontal line with a little flag on it on the right hand side and then underneath it says 'get going'.
Do think that a reset could solve the PB ? Or a downgrade ?:?

PierreRUNNER2, a new screen on a firmware update is not an error. The new screen you seeing is the "Fitness Points" screen. But if you prefer to not see it immediately on a left press of the button - you must change your setting to something other than Settings > Tracker > Goals > Points.

To solve the "PB" - try to do a HR based activity. The "Get Going" will change to "Active" or "Improving" or "Overddrive" and you will see a number other than the "0" you probably concerned about. This will happen everyday. This screen is a summary/reminder to get going.

Wow! This escalated quickly!

In hindsight, I should have just waited a little before posting my topic, I managed to figure it out with a little research. Thanks for the help though guys.

If I may pop in my opinion on the DATE issue...! I, like many others here, can not understand why ayahel1 is so mad at the fact the DATE setting option has gone. The date is set every time you connect the watch to a computer, and then you never need to change it and if you never need to change it there is no need for an option that lets you do that.

Cheers everyone.
