Can't enter weight data!

My first 2 days with Garmin Connect was awesome.


But then suddenly I was not able to enter my weight data! Either on Web or via the app.

It does not even show my goal any more.

It says data unavailable.

Any one with the same problem?
  • I am encountering the same problem; have been working with garmin connect for quite some time, until a few months ago, still in the "traditional" connect, I could not enter my weight with decimals. In my case, either 77 or 78 kg was no problem, but 77.4 kg caused "invalid" input. Whether I used dots (periods) or commas as decimal dividers, neither was accepted. I sent a message to Garmin about this, but unfortunately without response. The "modern" connect wotks funny, too. First of all, apparently it depends on the browser whether it works or not: Firefox results in a blank dashboard, but with Chrome it seems to work, even entering weight data... until a few days ago, when suddenly the same problem appeared: only full kgs, no more decimals. This renders the whole weight thing in Garmin Connect inaccurate, and useless. I know it's not the end of the world, but it is annoying that it does not work properly.
    Sometimes being patient and waiting is an option, as it is with more computer-like things: don't be surprised if suddenly, without a warning, it may work again. But still, it is annoying, especially when Garmin seems so proud of all their possibilities and options.
    I have not been able to find a solution, so I entered 78 kg, which is a little bit of a lie...But then again, many people I know lie about their weight. Or, at least, stretch the truth a little bit. But I try not to be like that, and hoped that Garmin would step in with relentless accuracy. Come on, Mr or Mrs Garmin...!

    Yes, same problem
  • Same to me. SInce a few days weight is not working
  • Weight is indeed only working when it's entered without decimal places. Although pretty annoying at first, I believe to have found some sense in it. Garmin devices (at least mine) are only able to accept weight without decimals. Perhaps Garmin has now put the same limitation on the website, to be better able to integrate/sync between the webservices and their devices.

    Might be far fetched, but is the only logic that I can come up with (for now;))

    same problem....:mad:
  • By the way, I found a temporarily fix. For android users there is this App "Weight Logger", where you can enter your weight and import it to Garmin Connect. The benefit is that if you own a advanced scale with f.i. bodyfat measurement you can enter and upload it also.
