Garmin Express only syncs intermittently with Forerunner 405

Since I've installed Garmin Express I can only sync runs intermittently to Garmin Connect from my Forerunner 405. Goes without saying I never had this problem with ANT Agent and this is incredibly frustrating.

Today, for instance, I get a "Sync complete" message, but I know nothing has uploaded because of the short amount of time it took before I got a "transfer complete" message on my watch. And sure enough my latest run isn't at Garmin Connect. Nor when I go to try to manually upload a tcx file from C:\ProgramData\Garmin\GarminConnect\Forerunner 405\Upload\FitnessHistory is there any tcx file listed since the last time I ran, so the issue is between Garmin Express and my watch.

Any suggestions? How do I reinstall ANT Agent, which worked fine?

    I am sorry for the troubles. I suggest you re-enter your Connect Account credentials in Express. Select the Forerunner 405 from the device menu then click Device. Scroll down to the Garmin Connect Account section and click the Change Account button. Re-enter your username and password to Connect.

    You can force the 405 to send all the Activities to Express again. Express should only upload missing activities.

    On the Forerunner 405:

    • Press and hold MENU
    • Select Settings
    • Select ANT +
    • Select Computer
    • Select Force Send to set Yes


    Again I am sorry for the troubles.

  • The forced send thing worked. Thanks!
