Sync your watch then do a full master reset of your FR35 using these directions - Restoring All Default Settings
Add a weekly cleanup procedure of the ACTIVITY folder to your agenda using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space
Please report back here when you encounter corrupted files again

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use that tool haha I tried using the kiesewetter and it tells me the file is being used by another program. I just cleared up my activity history. Thank you so much!!!

Hello,

I am also having problems with corrupt .fit files.
As I like my garmin watch and would like Garmin to fix the issues, I encourage you to send your .fit file including Model and firmware of your device to

[email protected]

In hope to get that fixed!

David

Edit: I am using a Fenix 6X Pro Solar.

Which Garmin do you have? The Forerunner 35 is by far the worst I've witnessed, just going by the large number of requests for fit file repairs on these forums.

But yes, I agree with you. Regardless of which Garmin it is, these issues should be relayed to Garmin Support. It is unlikely that they will repair anyone's fit files, but they should be aware of the user experience.
