Weight Scale

The scale automatically adjusts itself to make room for the highest/lowest weights of the period you are looking at. (Which can in itself be annoying if you are scrolling through periods to compare them, and you want a stable vertical axis while doing so.)

I just tested, and if I scroll back to the first 6 months period where I had a Garmin watch, the scale will also start at 0, probably because the scale adjustment algorithm is a little stupid and thinks the missing data at the start of that period, before I got the watch, should be interpreted as 0 weight. That is probably what happens to you too - except that you are still in your first 6 months period.

So I will suggest that you input your weight for a date more than 6 months ago. That will sort out the auto scaling for the current 6 months period.

hi Allan,

thanks it works for the six month chart but not the year even though i have entered a weight every month - you really have to wonder if it was even tested as so many people get new watches every month.

I think it sums up my experience with Garmin so far - so much is good about the fenix 5 plus but so many let downs on things that could be fixed easily..

But thanks for the great advice ...much appreciated.

Errh, have you tried the obvious - entering a weight which is older than a year? 

yep! that was it...added one more than a year ago ...and now it works!

thanks again!
