RE: Connect IQ will not pair with my Edge 520.

We are looking into a potential concern that may prevent the Edge 520 from connecting with Connect IQ app. I have added you to this investigation. If there are any updates or solutions, we will post these here.

Connect IQ will not pair with my Edge 520.

Connect IQ will not pair with my Edge 520 even though this Edge is paired with Garmin Connect. When I try add the device to Connect IQ, it sends me back to Connect, where the Edge is already paired. But Connect IQ seems not to recognise that the Edge is paired in Connect.

I've been going round in circles with this. And yes, I've deleted both apps from my phone and re-installed them, and re-paired the Edge 520. It's made no difference.

RE: Does anyone know what watch faces these are? Also are they available on forerunner 165?

These are the default watch face for the Forerunner 970. On the watch it is just "Forerunner 970".

Does anyone know what watch faces these are? Also are they available on forerunner 165?

Repeated loss of sync after Garmin Connect updates – considering leaving Garmin platform

7828857 — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:38:08 GMT

I am writing to report a serious and recurring service issue affecting my Garmin Fenix 8 and iPhone.

Device: Garmin Fenix 8
Phone: iPhone 16
iOS version: 26.3
Garmin Connect version: 5.22.1

For the second time within a month, a Garmin Connect update has broken synchronization between my watch and iPhone. After the latest update (5.22.1), the watch no longer syncs with Garmin Connect, despite appearing connected in iPhone Bluetooth.

The same situation already occurred about one month ago after a previous Garmin Connect update, and I had to completely remove and re-pair the device to restore functionality. Now it has happened again.

This is extremely frustrating. A premium device like the Fenix 8 becomes practically unusable if it cannot reliably sync with the official app, and repeated disruptions caused by software updates are not acceptable. I depend on this ecosystem for training and health tracking, and losing connectivity multiple times due to updates seriously undermines trust in the platform.

Reliable reseller hosting should give you fast support, stable uptime, and easy account management without constant technical issues. Before choosing, check real customer reviews, response times, backup policies, WHM/cPanel features, and scalability options for long-term growth.

Forerunner 970 - some activities not loading to garmin connect. I have found the fit files but when I try to import them it just states and Error has occurred

Forerunner 970 - majority of the activities I do seem to sync with the Garmin Connect app but a few runs and a walk are not loading to garmin connect. I have found the fit files but when I try to import them it just states and Error has occurred.

Disconnect the device from the computer and allow it to power up to the main menu.

Simplified Chinese appearing despite Traditional Chinese setting

5167635 — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:38:00 GMT

I am writing to report a localization bug in the Garmin Connect app regarding the language display settings.

Issue Description: Even though I have selected Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) as my preferred language in the app settings, several parts of the user interface are still displaying in Simplified Chinese (简体中文).

Steps to Reproduce:

Go to Settings > Profile & Privacy > Manage Garmin Account.
Ensure the language is set to Traditional Chinese.
Observe the Home Screen where several data cards are incorrectly showing Simplified Chinese.
Observe that certain menus, descriptions, or notifications are incorrectly shown in Simplified Chinese.

Environment:

App Version: 2.45
Device Model: iPhone 15 Pro
OS Version: iOS 26.3
Garmin Device: Venu 4

I have attached screenshots highlighting the inconsistent language display for your reference. I would appreciate it if your team could look into this and provide a fix in a future update.

Best regards

Spotify - child can’t install

4377510 — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 05:37:49 GMT

My 13 year old child has a Spotify premium account and a child account through Garmin. Garmin IQ won’t let him install Spotify on his watch because he is on a child account. The permission required by the app is Send/Receive information to/from the internet, which I have already granted. Just wondering why this lockout is in place for child accounts?

Anyone over 13 on Spotify is no longer considered a child and the social media restrictions from the Australian government don’t apply to Spotify, so I don’t understand why Garmin would be stopping 13 to 16 year old teenagers from listening to music on their paid Spotify accounts.

Anyone else having the same frustration?

Any solutions?

Wind and Wave Glance for Quatix 8

Bob1951Quatix8 — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:22:12 GMT

I recently upgraded to a Quatix 8 from a Quatix 7 (my 5th Quatix). I am now finding that the Wind and Wave glance is not available on the Quatix 8 and the VIRB can't be controlled by the Quatix 8. I am extremely disappointed that after spending a significant amount of money to upgrade I have lost some functionality that I enjoyed on the Quatix 7.

Please make the Wind and Wave glance compatible with the Qautix 8.

VIRB Glance on Quatix 8

Bob1951Quatix8 — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:05:24 GMT

I recently upgraded to a Quatix 8 from a Quatix 7 (my 5th Quatix). As a huge Garmin fan and customer I purchased a VIRB camera rather than a GoPro. I am now finding that the VIRB glance is not available on the Quatix 8 and the VIRB can't be controlled by the Quatix 8. I understand that the VIRB is discontinued, but I am extremely disappointed that I do not have the ability to control the VIRB from my Quatix after spending a significant amount of money to upgrade to the 8! Please reconsider having the VIRB glance available and compatible with the Quatix 8. Thank you.

Edge 1000 not supported

Krakus_ — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 21:30:53 GMT

ConnectIQ on iOS won't allow me to connect to my Edge 1000 to install or update apps, even though the Edge is listed in my Connect app on the same iPhone. The web-based app store is no longer available, so it seems that I cannot load any apps now. Can someone please confirm whether the Edge 1000 is supported? And if not, why not? It's an older device but also a flagship.
