Bug in Garmin Connect iOS – Time-based cardio workout steps revert to repetitions

Hello Garmin Support,

I found what appears to be a bug in Garmin Connect for iOS.

Device:

• Garmin Forerunner 675

App version:

• Garmin Connect iOS 5.27.0.15

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Garmin Connect.
2. Create or edit a Cardio workout.
3. Add an exercise (for example, “Walk or Run”).
4. Set Goal Type = Time.
5. Set the duration (for example, 20 or 30 seconds).
6. Go back to the workout and tap Save.

Expected behavior

The workout step should remain configured with a time-based goal (20 or 30 seconds).

Actual behavior

After saving, Garmin Connect automatically changes the step to 10 repetitions, ignoring the selected time goal.

I confirmed that:

• The issue happens consistently in the iOS app.
• Creating/editing the exact same workout in Garmin Connect Web works correctly and preserves the time-based goal.
• Therefore, the problem appears to be specific to the Garmin Connect iOS workout editor.

I have screenshots showing the issue if needed.

Thank you.
