how to sync training calendar

Hi,

Since a long time i started running on a customized training plan again. I noticed that when i plan workouts using the connect website i can synchornise with my watch (FR630) and it works perfectly. I can also plan workouts in the calendar using the app, however i cannot find the same button ("send workouts to device") and i also noticed that changes are not automatically synced with the FR630.

Current workout is that whenever i resync using my laptop. However this is not handy. I would really like to be able to resync using the app only.

So: Can someone tell me where to find the "send workouts to device" button in the garmin connect app? Or is there some other way to sync changes i made to the calender using the garmin connect app?

  • It has been there since the latest Update. Right now you can find something about automatic synchronisation - which does not work for my fenix 5x

    Automatic sync doesn't work for my VA3M. I've found that looking at my calendar on connect web, clicking the three little dots at the top right and choosing "Send workouts to device" does then schedule a sync with my watch (I have to cancel it's attempt to launch the PC software). It's very frustrating that they've removed the facility to schedule that sync from the Android mobile app :(
  • Yes it's really very poor. If you're going to remove the ability to manually perform a key function you could at least test that the automatic stuff actually works, which it clearly doesn't for very many people. Was this tested at all? How about just leaving the option to manually perform the sync, would that be so hard? Very frustrating to yet again go from a functioning device/ecosystem to one with a significant limitation.
  • It doesn't work for my FR935 and my wife's Fenix 5S. Clearly Garmin has been going downhill for some time...

    Not working for my 920xt either
  • hmmm… i was hoping this would be a user error and someone could tell me what i did wrong, but if i understand correctly this is a real poor piece of code in the app... I hope it will be fixed soon!
  • Same with Fenix 3 HR, it looks like they have removed the "Send to Device" button because training calendar shall sync automatically between APP and device, but this is not working. earlier as well sending workouts to device never worked through the app.

    Now the only possible solution for the calendar issue is to open Garmin Connect from Mobile web browser, hit send to a device button in the calendar and it will send it through the app.
  • I have a similar problem with my 735xt. Synchronization via the web page was working until yesterday. Synchronization via the Connect App is not adding workouts to the calendar on the watch itself, it is only adding workouts to "My Workouts" list. What's strange - it used to work fine, the Connect App synchronization until I'd created a custom workout and added it to the calendar via the web interface, later I tried to sync the calendar with the Connect App and unfortunately it failed for the first time and is still failing. Tried deleting the Training PLans and custom workouts... nothing helps.
  • IT IS WORKING :D

    I have got it working with me finally Fenix 3 HR, I think that the problem was having a conflict due to the existing or old calendar items in the watch. what I did to get it working is :

    1- I updated the calendar and opened the calendar from mobile browser selecting "Send to Device" it opened Garmin Connect App and I got calendar updated and I got all old calendar items deleted. Now "Send to Device" is removed from the web too, then you may try to Sync using Garmin Express to insure that all old calendar workouts are deleted.
    2- If sync with mobile app did not work try to delete Individual workouts from device manually if not as a last try do what I did is to delete training plans to get Calendar empty from both Garmin connect and Device (with Garmin Express/ or Send to device from Web ) and then I got one or two new workouts on the calendar, and suddenly everything started to work like charm.

    Any updates in calendar get pushed now to the watch with every synch. from the Mobile App (Android). the only issue that you will get old ones removed (yesterday and before) as usual.

    Also pushing a normal workout to be stored in the watch now working fine which was not working before from the mobile app.
  • Lotfi I don't see "Send to Device" option available in the browser. I think it's not there anymore for 2 days or so.
