Hello,

    hi Ivan,

    while waiting for the repair report back here :

    • the amount of FIT files in the ACTIVITY folder on your watch
      • (when folder contains many fit files time for a backup/clean operation)
    • the amount of FREE memory on your watch
      • (when low FREE memory, check above and below answer)
    • are you a MAC user
      • (empty BIN on device while connected)
    • was this activity with a long duration or distance compared to previous activities
      • ( long ones use more memory )
    • was this activty with a pause somewhere during the activity
    • was the watch connected to a phone during the activity

    happy & safe sporting

    Hi,

    I never got the chance to contact them. How do you think they may help?

    How do you think they may help?

    they check your case in their database with previous cases from customers complaining

    when there are enough complaints it can become a topic and resources made free to solve it

    Hi OnlyTwo,

    yes Slight smile

    FR35 has a tiny problem

    can only suggest to backup/clean the activity folder

    and keep an eye on it the next time when running with the phone

    cases point to : all data is ok up to the point the activity is stopped and saved

    happy & safe sporting
