Walking Activity " No Data Available " displayed on Connect App

Hello,

New user to Garmin and the Connect App, been getting to grips with my new forerunner 735xt and getting on okay with most aspects although one function I have not got to grips on the App is my Walking stats not being displayed under " Activities ".

From the drop down my daily steps are displayed although when I click into Walking the message " No data is available " is displayed for the 7day period I have been using the device.

I have logged / recorded walks everyday since I have had the device with data available via the calendar my day and elsewhere on my profile though nothing listed under activities.

Am I missing / not getting something with this function under Activities or is this normal ?

Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks

How exactly did you register your walks with the watch? For the activity to appear in Garmin Connect under "Walking" it needs to be registered as a timed activity of type "Walk". The thing is that the FR735XT does not have a "Walk" profile. You need to register your walks using other profiles (like "Other" or "Hike") and then in Garmin Connect change the type to "Walking".

I think I have added / cloned another activity at the start and renamed it " Walking ", I have obviously cloned a non hiking activity which is meaning the walking I am logging is not registering on Connect as walking activity.

I have now added the Hiking activity, I take it if I am using this option for walks, when I then sync, my walking stats will pull through on the " Walking " activity on Connect ?

Cheers for your help

Not quite. Since there is no "Walk" profile on the FR735XT, there is no way to automatically register walking activities. You have to use another profile (be it "Hike" or "Run" or "Other") and then after syncing the actitivity to Garmin Connect, change the type of activity to "Walking". You have to do it manually for every walking activity, because hiking activities do not automatically qualify as walking.

Thank you. Sorted now.

I would have never figured out the additional steps needed to edit the activity. Thanks again
