device not set as my activity tracker?

Former Member over 10 years ago

I tried to sync my vivofit and get this error message:

"We couldn't sync the daily activity data (i.e., steps taken) from this device because it's not set as your activity tracker. You can set your activity tracker preference in Garmin Connect."

How do I fix this?

My husband and I have separate accounts as he has a forerunner.

Thank you.

In Garmin Connect Mobile choose "Devices" from the menu, then "Device Settings" - select the setting for activity tracker, it should be the last option on the screen.

I have the same problem and this fixt doesn't work for me on my Forerunner 225. The wheel spins on my iPhone 5 to show it is trying but doesn't complete. Any ideas or is it a software problem which needs a fix.

I think the problem may be that I was using a Withings tracker previously and during set up, originally didn't use my 225 as the tracker?

No luck despite trying all the various solutions posted here. I think the issue stems from having a Fenix 5 that was my tracker, which got deleted from Connect (rather than retired), so now there's something 'stuck' in the system thinking the 5 is my tracker rather than the 5+

Could you post a screenshot of the Activity Tracking page? Tap on the watch symbol at the top of Garmin Connect Mobile app screen, then go to Activty Tracking, scroll down, and make a screenshot, or tell us whether the option Preferred Activity Tracker is checked or not.

Wow, Guess Garmin isn't going to chime in

The answers already given is what helps in general. For specific issues with your account you will need to create a support case so Garmin can have a look at your account.
