Most common cause is not doing a firmware update on your garmin device. I would check Garmin Express to see if your watch is up to date first.
On another note, I have a YouTube channel where I talk about swimming, cycling, running, tips, and reviews. Come check it out and subscribe if you like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkGuEDwQBwU&t=1178s
Attach your device to your computer and with File Explorer to browse to the Activities folder - you should be able to find the file that won't upload in there, then try doing it as a manual upload from within GC.
