Troubleshooting & Important Notes:

About ShabbatRon:
ShabbatRon is the ultimate app for keeping your Garmin watch on your wrist during Shabbat, allowing you to wear your watch with peace of mind by preventing accidental button presses and electronic recordings.
Once installed, the app will appear with your other Garmin activities (next to Run, Swim, etc.).
Note: The average battery consumption for Shabbat usage is 20% (turning off Bluetooth and using Battery Saver mode can improve this).
Key Features:
Hermetic Lock: Blocks all hardware buttons and touch gestures. To exit the app, long-press the middle-left button or the START button.
Halachic Safeguard: Detects if the Heart Rate sensor is active and triggers a warning. (You MUST turn off the HR sensor in system settings before launching). No tracking for steps, sleep, etc. (The altimeter runs in the background).
Jewish Info: Displays the Weekly Torah Portion.
Battery Efficient: Tailored for AMOLED and MIP screens to prevent "screen burn-in."
