Dear all,
Hope someone can help.
I was adding a new workout on my Garmin Connect account on desktop and at the end I clicked on "send to device" to update my Garmin Instinct Solar 2 watch.
I then renamed that workout from Garmin Connect and re-synced but on my watch that first workout stayed there with the old name.
I tried to delete the workout from the watch but figured out it was not possible! I found out that in order to delete from the watch I had to delete from Garmin Connect on app or desktop and then sync again. So I deleted that workout from Garmin Connect and it did not exist anymore on the app but it was still present on the watch!
So this is what I did to achieve a full perfect sync between watch and Garmin Connect app:
-I duplicated all workouts from app in order to keep a copy
-I synced these new workout on watch
-I deleted every other old workout from Garmin connect
However that very first workout with a wrong name was still there on my watch so I decided to reset the watch completely!
Now my watch is as if I just bought it and I would like to transfer all my data from my Garmin Connect BACK to the watch but it's not pairing with it anymore!
I tried adding a new device from Garmin Connect but it's not finding my Garmin.
I basically don't want to lose my data on my Garmin Connect but want it all synced back on my watch.
I am afraid that as soon as I sync my emptied watch on Garmin Connect then I will also lose all data on Garmin Connect that will be also emptied out with the sync.
Please help
Thanks
PS. I must say that despite being a very techy person Garmin Instinct is very not user friendly and the fact that I cannot create a workout with CUSTOM exercises left me really dissapointed. I have to scroll through a list of millions of exercises and it is often very hard to find the one you're looking for because exercises are often named in many different ways.. adding custom exercises would be ideal and really basic.
Also why can't I have my yearly workouts planned in Garmin Connect and only decide to sync a couple at a time every month removing the old ones ONLY form the watch but not from the Garmin Connect? Users are hence obliged to delete them from Garmin Connect to delete them from watch and if the workouts are needed again they need to be created from scratch and that is very long and annoying to do on app!
