Watch App does not create/update records

o A Descriptive Title (i.e. ?Simulator Freezes Launching App in Eclipse?)
A watch app that records a session of the type Running, Biking or Swimming should also create/update records of this sports type.

o The Environment:
Windows 10
Eclipse Neon.3
ConnectIQ 2.3.1

o A detailed description of the issue
A user of my Peter's Pacer (The App) app reported that his running records were not updated after recording a run with my app.
Today I verified this is indeed not the case, the run is recorded but the running records are not updated.

o Steps to reproduce the issue

1/ Install any watch app that records a running session, eg mine: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/e...c-9bd994080d4c

2/ Clear all records from the watch

3/ Record a short run with the native profile, as expected the longest run record is now updated (and depending how far you went the other records are also updated).

4/
* Start the Watch App (eg: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/e...c-9bd994080d4c )
* Start recording
* Run further than the run you recorded with the native profile
* Finish the recording
* The record is not shown on the watch
* The longest run record on the watch is still the longest run from the native profile run

This is working as designed, and will not be possible to change for 1.x devices due to memory constraints.

This was not re-evaluated, and was automatically inherited on 2.x devices that should not be subject to the same memory constraints. I have created a ticket to investigate enabling PR tracking for 2.x devices.

...whereby I used the App during my longest run, but the records for longest run/fastest 10k was subsequently not recognised on Garmin Connect or the watch.

hey Brian, a followup question, I can understand the restriction on the 1.x devices that the record is not updated on the watch, but apparently Garmin Connect does also not see this as a new PR? (It's a bit hard for me to test, as at the moment I'm running nowhere near as fast as I did when I set my PR's :) )

Anyway I would expect that this PR detection on Garmin Connect is unrelated to the actions on the watch. As the activity by my app was recorded as a running session it should update the PR on Garmin Connect, no?

I don't know why a PR would not get processed by Garmin Connect in this situation. I'll try to find an answer to that, but it is outside the area I have direct involvement in.
