Forerunner 935 - Missing manual laps on Garmin Connect

When you look on the activity details on your watch, are the laps there? If not, then you either did not press the right button, or it is not working, or is disabled in the settings. The lap button has to be enabled in the settings of the respective activity, so make sure it is really turned ON.

Hi trux I can only see the automatic laps but not the manual ones.
The lap button is enabled and I pushed the right one during my session

I do not know how exactly it works on your watch, but on my Instinct, when I hit the lap button, it brings up a black background screen counting the rest time and showing also the total time and distance. When I then hit the lap button again before resuming the swim, it switches back to the default white background screen, showing the current interval time and distance, counting the pool lengths automatically untill I hit the lap button again to pause it.

Besides switching the screens, the watch also sounds an alarm and vibrates on each lap button hit so I have the feedback, whether it was recognized. Does it all happen in your case in the same way?

On the activity screen I then see the intervals delimited by the gaps of the pauses (whose starts and ends were marked by the lap button), and the stats of the individual intervals then can be seen in a separate tab below the graphs. Each interval consist of multiple pool lengths detected automatically. Well, unless you stop, and hit the lap button after each pool length - then the interval would contain always just a single pool length, of course.

During my run, I had all the notifications you listed.

This is why I'm confused that I can't see them in the GARMIN  CONNECT app

Can you post a screenshot of the activity graphs and Intervals?

I beg your pardon, for some reason (most likely due to the lack of coffee) I wrongly assumed you spoke about lap swimming, and now I see, you mention running. It works differently, during running. It is enough to hit the lap key, to have it marked. No pausing and restarting like at swimming.

Hi trux, no problems. I think that up to now there is no possibility to have a dedicated view about the manual laps in the GARMIN CONNECT even if you are taking them during your run

There definitely is this possibility. The tab Laps under the graphs on the activy page shows all laps together. 

I am just looking at a 10km  run, where I used the manual lap-button by mistake (normally I have it disabed, but it was on during this run). There are 6 laps of 1km (auto-triggered), then a lap of 0.45km (manually triggered), and then 3 auto-laps of 1km, and then the remaining lap of some 0.6km.

Perhaps you just did not notice the manual laps, because they were too close to the auto-laps. If you happen to press the button close to the auto-lap distance, you can then easily miss it in the overview. You need to be aware that the manual lap does not measure from the start of the activity to the moment you press the button. It simply inserts another lap point into the time line. So if you press the button at the 5th km, while having 1km auto-laps, you will not  get 10x1km laps + 1x5km lap. You will only get 10x1km laps, because the 5km manual lap will be at the same point as the 5th 1km auto-lap. And if you press the lap button at 5.5km, you won't get 10x1km + 5.5km laps. You'll get 5x1km + 0.5km + 4x1km + 0.5km laps.

Ok trux, I got your explanation but why it should not be possible to have one unique lap of 7km for example.
Let's say you are running on a path of 7 km and you have to do it 3 times and you do not want to plan it as training. But you want to know if there are any differences during these 3 laps.
What I would like to see is a table/section where I have only 3 laps each of 7 km with all corresponding statistics i.e. average speed, cadence and so on for each lap.
this, in my opinion, is missing. What do you think?

You can. Just disable the auto-laps and use the manual laps only. Or set the auto-lap distance to 7km, and you won't even need to press the lap button.
