Non-touch watch

To access the menu the up button needs to be pressed and held

Functionality

Getting position information

When you first access the widget it needs to be updated with your position. Therefore you should start the widget outside or at least near a window that has good access to the GPS satellites.
If you have already updated the position you can press "Select" (or tap) to load the position. If you do this and no position has been saved the widget will display an error message:

Viewing the times

Once the widget has successfully obtained your position it will display the times. This is displayed as a scrollable list that can be scrolled using up and down (buttons or swipe). It will by default display the next time (either at the top for rectangular devices or in the middle for watches).

In this case you will have to restart the widget outside

Here the next time is at the top

Here the next time is in the middle of the scrollable list

Compass to Makkah

To view the compass press the Select button or tap - according to your device type. This will open the compass view.

The compass bearing refers to the direction of Makkah. When you near the correct direction the arrow will turn green.

Press the back button to return to the main times list

Menu

Press the menu button (depending on your device). Using the menu depends on the type of device that you have. There are a number of choices you can make:

Salah Alerts (on supported devices only)

By selecting this option you can set up the widget to give you a five minute warning before the next prayer time.
Important: Due to the way that Garmin has enabled alarms only the next prayer time can be set at a time. When the alert points up you will have to reopen the widget. Once you reopen the widget the next alert will be set up.

Not all devices support this functionality If you don't have this menu option you will not be able to enable alerts.
