Garmin Express - Forerunner 110 Multiple users

Former Member over 10 years ago

My wife and I share a running watch and a MacBook. How can I get garmin express to allow me to nominate which Garmin Connect account I wish to synchronise with?
The only way round it I've found so far is to turn off Express, switch to classic and manually upload to our separate accounts - by no means an "express" fix.
Very frustrating.

Express is not setup to have multiple people using 1 device and syncing their data across multiple accounts. The program just does not work this way. When you add the device to Garmin Express a User Name and password is required to transmits the data to the designated account. The device can not be registered in multiple accounts and have Express know which user it's suppose to have the data uploaded to.

Thanks for the reply. I think I had worked that out though. Is that not an omission from the software - I'm sure our circumstances are not unique. GPS watches are not cheap and it is possible for more than one member of a household to be passionate about sport!

And even if I were to buy a second watch, I can't see a way of having two versions of garmin express open on the same computer in order to select the appropriate user? Is this correct?

There are two ways that you can accomplish this.

1. Change the myGarmin Account before syncing the watch:

Open Garmin Express
Click Device in the top right corner of Express
Click the Change Account button
Log into the account that you would like to sync to

2. Use two Mac accounts to sync

Sign into the first Mac user account
Pair the device with Garmin Express using the first Garmin Connect account
* You can also change the account if needed by following the instructions in option 1 above
Sign into the second Mac user account
Pair the device with Garmin Express using the second Garmin Connect account
Sign into the appropriate Mac user account prior to syncing the device
