And manually syncing is almost completely unsuccessful. Mine will, but not on the initial connect/auto-sync process. Oh well, I hope they get their act together fast I have a 310XT and I love it but I'm an engineer so it's very frustrating to not be able to see the graphs of HR, pace, elevation etc = ( Really sad Garmin user here getting ready to replace the lot with another brand that works!ĭang, I was hoping I was the only one and it was user error. Garmin's position for the past several months has been, "We are aware of the problem and are working on a swift resolution." My resolution is about to be throwing their crap in the trash! Most of our devices are pretty much worthless if I can't upload the data. For the last several months it seems as though Garmin Express/Connect are unreliable at best and unusable at worst. She has had problems syncing since she got the device last September. Then, since I apparently hadn't learned my lesson yet, I got my wife a Garmin VivoFit. I have spent a small fortune to get a 310XT then upgrade to a 910XT and recently got a Fenix3, all of that on top of the Edge 810 and the Vectors. I am pretty much to my breaking point with Garmin. I was able to auto sync today with no problem although I have had off and on problems over the past couple of days which is just the latest installment going back nearly a year. I need to try that and see if I have better luck. I see that it might be possible to hack (cludge, would be more accurate ) around that with a dongle or the ANT stick right into the phone's USB. My phone is ANT compliant and has all sorts of native ANT capabilities, but the Garmin app only seems to account for Bluetooth capable devices.so even though my phone speaks ANT, the app won't recognize that. to it like they do with gas station bathroom keys. I'm considering gluing a big piece of plastic.like a plastic spoon or something. Also, I don't like the idea of losing the tiny ANT stick that's biggerr than a postage stamp and having to pay $50 for a new one. Granted, I've got an older model, but I really hate the whole ANT thing. That's how I've discovered my successful approach. Being that I'm kind of fond of my miles (it's been a big part of my weightloss effort/pride/accomplishment thing ). They said to delete the history and start anew. I emailed Garmin awhile back before I figured this process. If I then shutoff the watch and restart it, it'll auto-sync everything left just fine. When I hit the manual sync on Connect, if a run workout is first on the list chronologically, it will sync and continue to sync any run, but will fail at any bike workout and then all syncs after that will fail regardless of whether it was run/bike. I find that mine will often connect and then the auto-sync will fail. There's tons of posts about it everywhere. They have some pretty sketchy sync technology going on.
