Weight changes from watch to phone app

Curious if anyone else has run into this issue - the weight I record on my watch during a strength workout is different once uploaded to the connect app (when reviewing my workout).

For example, I logged dumbbell weight that was 15 pounds but in the app it shows up as 33 pounds. I can’t seem to figure out why this is and can’t find the solution.

Sounds like kg vs lb.

I have same issue. Did you find solution?

Are all your settings (watch, Garmin connect) set to pounds?

Yes. The watch is pounds under system/format/units. And the connect app is “statute”. Still is a problem. Is there another setting somewhere?

Could be a bug/issue with corrupt settings.

Before you try what I suggest below, I assume that the weight input page and the activity summary page on the watch show units of "lb" (as expected), and so does the Connect app (e.g. under Stats > Total Volume)? If not, then it would definitely indicate some settings corruption.

Anyway, try:

- changing the weight units on the watch to kg, then back to pounds

- changing the Connect app units from statute to metric, then back to statute

(Yeah I know it's kinda trite advice, like suggesting you turn your device off and on, but that's all I got)
