Assigning Gear to Running

Foz17

Hi

I have just added my trainers to Gear in Garmin Connect. I selected Running under automatically assign to.

All my activities have the Activity Type of Running but it is not assigning the gear at this level. If I click into each individual run, I can click the three dots to assign gear manually but why isn't it assigning it automatically?? Have I not set something correctly?

I don't bother giving my runs names or to categorise them, but thought the fact that the Activity Type is Running which matches what I've selected under the Automatically Assign To section that this would be sufficient??

Help please!!

Thanks

    When you open the "gear" and click Edit, is the Running selected for the automated assignment?

    ... and do you want to assign the gear to past activities, or to the future ones? If it is for the past ones, then what did you enter into the field First Use?

    Hi

    Thanks for responding!

    Hopefully you can make out the below - I checked Running under Automatically Add to and put the first juse date to 6th May.  I have a few runs after that date but it is not picking up the mileage.

    The only way I can get it to pick up mileage is to go to 'Activities' which are all assigned to Running - open an individual activity and add Gear here using the link on the second screenshot, but it only adds it for this one activity. 

    Any ideas would be great to stop me having to add them every time!

    Thanks

    If you want that the gear is added to past activities since the given date, you have to enable also the checkbox Add to all Running activities since xxxx/xx/xx when you are adding the gear (not visible on the edit page, only during the creation!).

    Otherwise, when done in the way you did, all new Running activities will be assigned the gear automatically. Just try creating a dummy 5s running activity now (without running, just starting it on the watch, stopping, saving it, and sycning). It may not work if recorded under a different category, and changing the activity type to Running manually.
