can edited activities be synced to watch

M_Run_86

My Forerunner 955 is being replaced as the barometer / altimeter has failed and reads 0. I've completed a few runs with some decent elevation over the last week and have had to use connect on the web to change the elevation source to get the correct figure. Frustratingly, I can't get this synced back to my watch where all the calc etc happen so these runs have had no impact on hill scores etc. Does anyone know how to get edits runs synced back to the watch?

    You can place an activity FIT file in the \Garmin\NewFiles folder on your watch, which I assume is what you tried. The problem is that exporting from Garmin Connect uses the original activity file. While you can use third-party tools to change the elevation source, even if the file shows up in your history, it won’t act like a native activity. If you’re hoping this restored file will update performance metrics, it likely won’t, since those are calculated in real time during the original activity and rely on internal sensor data. Re-imported files don’t trigger those updates.
