How to access custom workout on Venu 2+?

Best asking on the Venu 2 forum at https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/venu-2, since the menus differ from model to model. On many watches, you can access workout of all types through the app "Workouts" that is often already by default on the list of activities (or can be added). Activities of the type 'other' also also available on most activity types that do not belong to the main activity groups (cycling, running, strength,...).

You can also schedule the workout for a specific day, and then you can start it from the Calendar widget on your watch.

If you still do not see the workout on your watch, connect it to a PC, and check the folder //GARMIN/Workouts - if the workout is not there, then you either did not send it to the device, or the syncing failed for some reason. Try syncing with Garmin Express - it is usually faster and more reliable than with the Garmin Connect phone app.

A custom workout is accessed from the activity types that don't have a specific workout type. Here I would create a custom activity from Other and turn off GPS. From that type you can then start your custom workout.

Thanks, I created an activity "Other" as you suggested (with the help of this article:https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-D93137A9-B374-4A24-8A4D-A66C9AC91265/EN-US/GUID-1E365EB2-6BC1-4E25-96D9-5D4742A56BF0.html), but my custom Workout(s) don't appear uner it.

Which activity type did you base it on? Every activity type will always be based on one of the available ones on the watch. If you don't know you can log an activity with your new activity profile and then look in Garmin Connect which type it got.

Did you double-check (as I recommended in my previous post) that you've sent the workout to the right device, and that it is indeed there physically?

I wrote a lengthy reply here in Firefox on my Windows PC but, even though I was already logged in to the forum, I got a message that I wasn't authorized to reply when I tried to post it. Adding insult to injury, my text was discarded.  I am now replying from Safari on an iPad.

 trux Hooking up my smartwatch to my Windows PC showed 4 relatively new entries under Workouts, but I only added one recently and the 4 I found didn't seem to be related to it. Syncing the watch to the PC with Garmin Express brought no change in the contents of Workouts.

 e7andy IIRC, I based it on Other (which also happens to be the name of the activity). That is also the only thing that shows when I use Garmin Connect to manually record such an activity. The Event Type was Uncategorized. Fitness would be another option.

When I open up the Workout (Tai Chi / Qi Gong) in Connect under Training & Planning - Workouts and try to  "Send to Device", it shows my Venu 2 Plus as "NOT COMPATIBLE", so I guess I was expecting too much and would need a more advanced watch. ;-)

Thanks to both of you for your help!

Many thanks!
