When I sync my Garmin watch to my Garmin App on my phone after my run, why, when I go into Edit Activity do I have to change my Activity type everytime to 'Running'?? Its always on 'Other' and i want to keep it on 'Running'. How can I change this?
Use the native Running Activity profile on your watch, if it supports it - it will then show up as Running on the app too. Since you did not tell what model you own, we cannot look it up for you, but personally I am not aware of any model that would not have the Running profile implmented natively. Did you create a custom profile for runnning?
Thanks for the feedback. I have a Garmin Fenix 2 and as for setting up a custom profile, it was a while ago that I created the account and I dont remember if it was custom or not. I put in my basic details. I assume theres only one Garmin app for all Garmin watches?
There is only one Garmin Connect app, but I did not speak about any profile on the app, but about the Activity profile you slected on the watch. Normally, if you select the native Running activity on the watch, it will appear as Running on the app too, without any necessity to change it there. I am not familiar with Fenix 2, though, so I do not know whether it supports the Running activity type natively. I am going to try to look it up.
... ok, so I found the user manual for Fenix 2, and it looks like it indeed supports Running. Could you share a link to a Running activity you recorded with the device, before changing the type manually in Garmin Connect?
