RE: Intensity minutes incorrect

Could you post a screenshot of the Intensity Minutes settings? Typically found in Device Settings » Health & Wellness » Weekly Intensity Minutes (though the exact path may differ, depending on the model)

Intensity minutes incorrect

5073288 — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 20:15:07 GMT

I did a low intensity elliptical workout today and connect gave me vigorous minutes for zone 3 and moderate for zone 2. Seems backwards. For my other activities it usually only gives me vigorous minutes for zone 4 & 5 and moderate for zone 3.

I have the same issue. Did you ever get a response?

RE: Chronic training load not updating for past 6 days

Thanks. I went back and checked data and sure enough I had the same pattern at time of an operation.

Seems like 176 is my number.

Chronic training load not updating for past 6 days

ryanspa — Sat, 23 May 2026 22:11:12 GMT

Connect is not updating Chronic Load for my Fenix 7X. The readings are also not updating in 7X.

The Chronic Load has been static at 176 for 6 days, while the Acute Load does adjust after activities and each morning. I do understand that it is a 28 Day weighted average but it’s rare for the start of day reading to be unchanged for this period of time.

I’ve recorded values in a spreadsheet for these loads each day for past 3 years and this has never occurred before. I have been on reduced activity for past few weeks due to a long driving holiday and illness but when I first started the spreadsheet I was in hospital and had a 28 day recovery from an operation so I tracked the changes for something to keep me occupied.

I’m also experiencing an issue when editing sleep data (reported by a few people) and not sure if something related but reported in other article.

The chronic TL won't drop below certain basal value.

This has been happening to me since I updated the

app a few days ago

Editing sleep times has incorrect times

bob4321 — Thu, 21 May 2026 17:10:06 GMT

If you try to edit sleep times, the start and end times are incorrect. Appear to be in GMT instead of local time.

RE: Editing sleep times has incorrect times

ryanspa — Sat, 23 May 2026 21:28:48 GMT

This occurred to me also this morning.

My sleep start showed start 23:07 / wake 06:25 and when I selected edit, the start time was 13:07 but end time unchanged.

When I edited the start to 22:51, the sleep finish time changed once saved and sleep chart crazy.
I had to set both times again and it was Ok.

*Edit*: I’ve just noticed that while I apparently took a nap while I was prepating and eating my lunch. Also despite my sleep being less than a baseline of 7:30 hours, my baseline changed from 7:30 to 7:00 since I checked this morning.

*edit*. Possibly affecting sleep, Stress chart and readings are different 7X to Connect. I’ve restarted 7X and logged out / in to Connect mobile but no change to this or sleep score.

I‘ve also noticed that the Chronic Training Load hasn’t changed for 6 days. I’ll log that separate.

Same thing for me. Also, when going to Garmin connect online, it's unable to load sleep chart.

This is also happening for me.

I regularly edit my sleep times and it has worked fine in the past. This morning, it did not. Start and end times were incorrect after the edit.

RE: Airpods connect/disconnect to iPhone

I'm still experiencing this. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Please resolve this.

Airpods connect/disconnect to iPhone

5926372 — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:38:58 GMT

I recently got a Fenix 8 47 mm AMOLED and really love it HOWEVER, for some reason my Airpods have stopped working with my iphone. I do not want to connect the airpods to the watch and haven'r done so eather, but not when I want to use the airpods with my phone, they keep connecting and disconnecting instantly. I know its the garmin watch / app spooking because they work perfect when the watch is disconnected.

I have also tried resetting the airpod connection with my iphone but with the same results.

Anyone else experienced this and know how to solve it?

Connect+ weight

hw64 — Thu, 21 May 2026 17:41:18 GMT

Ok, I’m currently using the test month of Connect+ and am making use of the food logging. I also have an Index S2 on which I weigh myself every morning. The last couple of weeks I regularly noticed that, after my weigh in, I get another weigh in moment. This with a different weight.

Now going through the connect+ Food settings/Food plan I noticed that incorrect weight there as well. It seems the start weight there is not linked to the weight as registered by the Index S2 but has to be entered manually. So every time you adjust the calorie goal, the desired weight loss or something, this weight is pushed to the entire connect ecosystem and to your user profile (also in the weight settings of the user profile of the watch). Without any insight in all the logic of the underlying algorithms I can imagine that this could throw off calculations for VO2max, runpower,…

Seems to be something that could be designed better. Maybe not relevant if you fluctuate around a stable weight, but in case you lose a lot of weight this can be an issue (and as well a puzzle to figure out where these additional weighings are coming from)

Great post. I had setup my nutrition settings to lose 10 lbs a couple months back. I never thought to check my current setting but did after reading this and Garmin connect never updated my weight even though my weight is entered weekly. End result, it was setting my target calories based off starting weight and not my weight today which is 10 lbs lighter. Lastly, why not have something that said hey congrats on hitting your target weight or 3 more lbs to go to reach target…etc. I am on 5.25. I manually changed current weight in nutrition and target calories adjusted, but this should be part of Garmins automation imo.

Connect (iOS v.5.25) device drop-down menu broken

The latest update broke the drop-down menu where I select my device to force a sync. It just drops down the "Add Device" row now.

Thanks for following up, much appreciated !
In the video below I first checked todays weight, then did some adjustments in the food goals, where my weight differs slightly. Then back to the weight tile where I get a new weigh in moment with the weight coming from the food section. This had me puzzled for several weeks, not knowing from which app it came (I have lost a lot of weight and this may be less relevant once I stabilise).
I am on 5.25.

Can you share a video of this happening with the edited time showing GMT?

RE: Connect+ weight

Garmin - SP — Fri, 22 May 2026 18:55:13 GMT

Can you share a screenshot or screen recording of this occurring for you? We also just put out 5.25 update for Connect, so I'd like to make sure you are on the updated software as well to see if that resolves this.

Have tried both methods and neither are working for me. AirPods constantly connecting and disconnecting.

Abbreviated device names

5016816 — Fri, 22 May 2026 13:38:13 GMT

Since the major redesign of the iOS Garmin Connect app a few months back the unique device name displayed in the top right hand dropdown (where you select which watch/device to manage) is abbreviated for some reason - e.g. Instinct 2 and Instinct 2X are both shown as Instinct 2. Anyone else with the same issue, or is it just me?

Still cannot pair Garmin Edge 530 with Iphone (v26.2.1) using latest Garmin Connect (v 5.21.3.4).

comptobl — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 04:41:14 GMT

I read that 5.21.3 fixes Iphone - Garmin Connect Pairing. But, I still have an issue as it only "half-pairs for me".

After deleting apps including Garmin Connect Iq, reinstalling and ensuring Edge is removed from iphone, + restarting all devices and turining iPhone BlueTooth on/off.

Garmin Connect on iPhone initially recoginizes Edge 530 and gives pairing codes on both devices indicating connection. However, then Connect goes back to complete pairing and is not able to find the Edge 530 again. Despite multiple tries and the claims "of extended search" it never finds the Edge 530 again. Edge 530 goes back into Phone Setup mode wailing for iPhone and Garmin Connect on iPhone says "no accessory found" (despite just fnding it a few minutes ago and getting correct pairing codes on both devices.

The 530 then appears in Iphone as Bluetooth device and Garmin Connect with red circle indicating pairing process not complete.

Have deleted it in Connect and iPhone Bluetooth several times, but cannot get by this 2nd pairing step.

Garmin are you going to fix this issues and QA that it is fixed? The extended accessory searching seems like a bandaid.

However, I am able to successfully pair my Forerunner 645 watch with iPhone and Garmin Connect so it appears to be an issue directly with Edge 530 and Garmin Connect app.
