Syncing manual/strava/Zwift files to Garmin Forerunner Issues

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi - I've recently started noticing that activities I'm either capturing from Zwift are being synced to my Garmin Connect account, however when syncing with my Forerunner 645 they're not being pushed down meaning that my tracking of training status and activity hours/mileage is not being updated to reflect my Garmin Connect. I've restarted my watch and performed multiple syncs from both the watch and through the app on my mobile but nothing seems to be pushing them down. I'm sure this used to work but doesn't appear to be now. Keen to know if anyone knows how I can resolve this as coming in to winter a lot of mileage for the bike will be down on the indoor bike with Zwift.

Cheers.

"Syncing" with Garmin watches is pretty much one-way, for the most part. Activities added to Garmin Connect through other means won't show up on your watch. There is a way to copy the activities from GC to your watch manually (using the USB cable), but even that won't update your mileage/hours or training status/load. Unfortunately, the FirstBeat training stats only work for activities that were created on the watch.
