This was the same as I did yesterday and when I went for a run today I had the following:
Before I left I checked Auto lap which said it was going to work every km
Display data I have Average and Lap Average both saying they will show in km in data page1
During the run the first data page showed pace Average/km and Lap/km
Every 1.6km (1 mile) I was notified of a lap time which was correct for /mile and consistent pace when converted to that shown by the first data page in km.
On returning I attempted to sync the workout using C-And
Sync successful message but no workout showing in C-And or C-PC
Check watch and all units are in miles.
Go to the top and repeat.....
In all other settings I can find I have metric. Apart from my Edge1000 which I also use in metric have never seen it display anything other than metric yet in C-PC settings it has 12hr and Miles. I change this but it is also futile as it is changed back.
If I connect the watch to the PC via USB the workout is uploaded. How do I get it to work with Bluetooth. Notification push is working and system settings are being updated so there is communication but the workout data is not getting across. A new weight reading appears in the calendar even though I haven't entered one so that appears to go across for some reason. Yesterday I did have one success as an old workout was transferred but that day's was not. It just appears that the syncing is very poor and old settings keep coming back.
The only way to keep the watch in metric is to not open C-PC
The only reliable way to get the workout data into Connect is to use Garmin Express and the USB.
