Garmin Connect Rowing Units

Forerunner 945, software version 4.84

Apple XR phone IOS version 13.5.1

GCM version 4.32.0.28

Disclaimer- I am on the Forerunner 945 beta tesing team.

The issue:

Activity: rowing- unique issue as rowing is a metric unit activity regardless of the watch or GCM global unit settings.

Watch global units set to USA Statute.

I am unable to pinpoint exactly which GCM software load this issue appeared at first but it has been over a year. It may have coincided with FR945 implementation.

The watch indicates progress and  records rowing activity with respect to speed and pace correctly, speed km/h, pace min:sec/500m. The pace unit is specific to rowing. In the activity summary on the watch both units are recorded correctly.

When sync with GCM complete, GCM shows the following information:

  • My Day rowing widget shows summary  speed correctly in km/h.
  • When tap and entry made into the workout summary itself, the pace is displayed in global statute units min/mile, which runners use not rowers and it also shows numerical value of average speed correctly but units are changed to mp/h, ie. 10.3km/h average speed is now displayed as 10.3mph, which is clearly wrong on both accounts.
  • When activity is further opened per split in GCM, the average pace and average moving pace both appear in min/mile- running units rather than rowing pace units of min:sec/500m

I have recorded numerous workouts with the bug described above and can provide sustained number of examples to clearly describe the issue.

I would be happy to provide screenshots and further information and can be reached via the Garmin directory in Olathe. I am a regular poster in the Testers forums. Thank you kindly for your attention.
