Fit File Damaged

Hi my friend.

It's the second time I've a .fit file in my Enduro damages.

This kind of file blocks the watch synch to Garmin Connect both via Android App and Garmin Express (USB). I tried uploading to Garmin Connect website too but nothing!

The http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ tool no longer works.

The strange thing is that STRAVA can read the corrupted .fit file and it's the only solution I found:

1 - upload to Strava
2 - export from Strava as gpx
3 - import to Garmin Connect website (losing a lot of info)

Someone has a different solutions?
Is it a bug of Enduro during saving?

Thanks

Sure I uploaded files I fixed with the online tools and they work.

I tried (for test) to put them back to watch and the watch delete them

seilogramp I tried to upload to my watch because it seems that "Training Status" is a result of a watch analysis and not by a "cloud" analysis: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/report/-1/running/last_four_weeks

In the report you can choose which watch do you want to select to analyze data:

That's correct, but uploading an activity FIT file to the watch will have no effect on it, since the TS calculation happens in real-time, working extensively with the HR and HRV data, and since the HRV data is not stored in the activity file, the postprocessing is not possible.

argh... thank you!

I believe that enabling Log HRV will record HRV in the fit file.

Well, I do not have the Enduro, and do not find any such option in Enduro's User Manual, but even if it exists, it won't make the watch reparsing the acitivity data upon uloading a fit file on the watch.

AFAIK on the newer watches, go to System, Data Recording and you'll see Log HRV there.

Correct.

In "data recording" I found only the setting of "every second" / "smart".
