How to Manage Garmin Notifications

If you receive too many notifications on your Garmin device or need to adjust how and when they appear, follow these steps to customize your settings.

For tailored instructions related to your device, please visit Garmin Support here.

General Instructions

Managing Notifications from Your Phone

  1. Open the Garmin Connect App

    • Ensure your Garmin device is paired with your phone.

    • Tap More, click on Garmin Devices and select your paired device

  2. Customize Smart Notifications

    • Select Notifications and Alerts

    • Choose Smart Notifications to manage alerts for calls, messages, and apps.

    • Enable or disable notifications based on your preference.

  3. Sync Your Device

    • After making changes, sync your Garmin device to apply the new settings.

Managing Notifications from Your Garmin Device

You can also adjust notification settings directly on most Garmin devices:

  1. Open the Settings menu on your watch.

  2. Navigate to Notifications & Alerts > Smart Notifications

  3. Enable or disable notifications based on your preference.

Additional Tips

  • If notifications are not appearing, check that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and Garmin device.

  • If using an iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth > Select your Garmin device > Ensure Share System Notifications is enabled.

TrainingPeaks Settings

To ensure you stay informed while maintaining control over your training data, we recommend adjusting your TrainingPeaks notification settings as follows:

  • Under 'Notifications,' select 'Notify me of suggested threshold changes via email.'

  • Leave 'Automatically apply new threshold changes' unchecked to manually review and confirm adjustments before they take effect.

This approach allows you to consider suggested changes and update your thresholds thoughtfully, ensuring accuracy in your training zones across both TrainingPeaks and Garmin Connect.

​

What Should You Do?

  1. Review the Suggested Change
    You can accept the change if it seems appropriate based on how you felt during your workout and your recent progress.

  2. Update Your Threshold Manually

    • In TrainingPeaks, go to your settings and update your threshold values accordingly. This will ensure your planned training intensities remain accurate.

    • Recalculate Your Training Zones: Updating your threshold ensures your five personalized MyProCoach training zones remain accurate, keeping your workouts correctly structured.

  3. In Garmin Connect, manually update your training zones to reflect the changes. Garmin does not sync threshold changes automatically from TrainingPeaks.
