Manual entry not being counted as an activity for monthly challenge

is there a way to have a manual entry of an event to be counted towards the monthly activity challenge?  

it seems very odd that one can add an event but it not count. 

what is the purpose of denying an activity not recorded on a device not being allowed to be counted as an activity challenge?

if Garmin does not see fit to have manual entries count towards the activity challenge then why even give the option of allowing one to enter an event manually?

it is a classic case of contradictions … record all your physical activities, but we will not count them.  Quite odd for a web site “dedicated” to health… or is it?

i await the Garmin reply in which i know what it will be, but i will hold my tongue otherwise…. this should be entertaining….

  • All activities must be logged with a Garmin device to count for challenges.

    The easiest way to fix that is to log an activity with your watch. Stop it right away, save and sync. Edit the activity in Garmin Connect and enter the data for your training. Adjust date, time, duration etc.

    Why allow manual activities? Because not everything in Garmin Connect is about challenges and badges. For most users it is about logging your training.
