In my case, I accidentally entered the wrong year for my gear and now cannot correct this.
It would be useful if I could simply change the first use date and then work backwards to fix the previous entries, but it seems that users are unable to change this date after the fact. I am already aware that I can manually create a new piece of gear and edit each individual activity but this would take additional time. It would be easier if I could just change the first use date and then only those earlier entries in which I used the gear but this is not yet recorded.
Thank you in anticipation and I would be very grateful if Garmin could consider allowing users to edit this first use date field in Garmin Connect.
I went for a run with a brand new pair of shoes, and the workout automatically uploaded (via my phone) immediately after I finished. In the workout editor, I tried to add my new shoes via the "manage gear" link, but it did not add my shoes to the workout. Also, it has the wrong date for when I first used the shoes.
I think what's happening is that I cannot add the shoes to any workout that took place before the 'first use,' but since I cannot correct the first use, I cannot add them to the workout where I actually first used them.
Is there any way to get around this? I suppose I need to add my gear on garmin the day before I intend to use it. Or just not bother using that feature, since it's already a bit of a pain.
