(as I was typing this post I reset my device for a THIRD time and it did fix error #1 below, but I post my frustrations none the less)
I just recently upgraded to the 920xt from the 310xt, where I had significant issues with synching since the Connect launch. Hoping to fix this I ponied up the money for newer technology but I am still having issues as it is clearly a problem with Connect and not the devices.
1) After creating 8 new custom workouts and manually scheduling 3 months worth to coincide with my Sprint Tri training I clicked 'Send to Device' and all of my Sprint Tri plan activities came over but only ONE of my custom workouts. All of the custom workout were identical in steps, the only difference was the name. Several of them occurred BEFORE the only one that made it, so it's not a date thing. NOTE: After THIRD reset the custom workouts finally appeared, but TODAY's workout did not. But it wouldn't be Garmin Connect without one little issue ;)
2) Also, when I go to Training >> My Workouts none of the Cycling workouts appear, despite showing up in the Calendar. After my THIRD factory reset nothing shows up despite my workouts appearing on my Training Calendar.
3) I Hard reset the device. When re-pairing the device I used Garmin Express initially... and it crashed when I clicked to setup WiFi.
4) I constantly get errors that say 'switch to modern' despite not having clicked on any 'switch to classic' links, although I would love that (see screenshot for one I got when trying to 'send to device')
5) I have the latest version of Express, but am not using it to synch after initial setup, although the box always pops up saying I need to use it despite the instructions saying use WiFi... (see screenshot). Usability suggestion... ask me how I want to upload the information to my device!!!
I know it has been well documented here, but as someone who works in the web space can attest, launching a snazzy interface without QA testing nor usability testing is a really really really bad idea, as evidenced by current Garmin Connect. I used to LOVE the Classic version, but since the upgrade I have had nothing but issues and it is making me think about switching brands at this point. Maybe I shouldn't expect things to just 'work' when spending several hundred dollars? But maybe that's just the Apple crowd I guess...
