I can understand not supporting intervals that are less than 1 second, but not this. So many workouts have steps in the 15-60 second range. GET TO WORK GARMIN
Hi Guys, any news from garmin on this matter? I have the same error, opened a case in garmin support... no one contacted me yet, so basically these days can't count with my $450 garmin to train, this sucks.
I'm hitting the same problem, and this looks like a new bug that was introduced recently. In April and May, I had created and saved multiple workouts with step duration less than one minute. Today is the first time I've seen the problem.
I emailed Garmin support and recommend that others do too so that this gets adequate attention on Garmin's end.
This is really stupid. I have saved some old workouts (A Moneghetti interval) including 30 sec and 15 sec intervals and they still work, but I cannot make a new one. Clearly a simple validation error.
Was very frustrated to discover this last night when trying to set up some sets of intervals for cycling.
Seems a daft UI-imposed field validation, what would be the technical limitations when I can manually set intervals down to 5 seconds in duration directly on the 920xt?
Tweeted this, so far no response:
@Garmin Connect doesn’t allow to create workouts with intervals <1min? Seems a silly UI-imposed limit? I’m not alone bit.ly/1eRYcoG
Unrelated, I've also found that if the workout name has the % sign, it will fail to sync to my Edge without giving a proper error message. Only figured it out through trial and error (and a lot of wasted time). Thanks Garmin! :mad:
Just received this response to my bug report - I have responded that this is a bug not a feature request - it's very frustrating when something like this slips through the net and there is an attempt to ignore it. Again I would urge anyone affected by this to report it to support by email or phone otherwise we may be stuck with this stupid limitation.
Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe. I am happy to assist. I have forwarded your email to the design team as they are always interested in customer feedback. Many of the comments/suggestions we receive (such as yours) are often evaluated towards potential implementation into future Garmin products or current unit software releases. We cannot guarantee that what you have suggested will be implemented, however we do appreciate you passing along your opinions.
+1 bought a Fenix 3 two days ago, cannot believe that a £1.99 stopwatch is now more useful for doing HIIT - crazy as it sounds, will be returned if this isn't fixed as it wont be fit for purpose.
Interval workouts can be set up directly on the watch and are limited by 5 second ranges (if using time) so you easily create simple interval sessions that aren't confined by the restraints of Connect. If you're doing a complex workout (like Dave posts) that has multiple steps of varying intervals under a minute then yup, the new workout builder design in Connect isn't going to allow that.
