No training status VO2 max, Fenix 5x since purchase of 1030 plus, coincidence?

Hi, new to the forum, even though been a Garm8n user for the past 10yrs I have the following: Garmin Fenix 5X, HRM Pro + & Edge 1030 plus.

Ever since purchasing the 1030 (don’t know if it’s coincidental) I see no running data, VO2, training status etc. all devise are up to date, my training status seems to have been taken over by the 1030.

all activities have been performed with HRM outside 6 days a week and are recorded on account but only the cycling seems to be impacting stats.
tried removing 1030, from account but that’s mad no difference either

Don’t appear to be able to prioritise 5x to prime training device as running is my main activity

Any help advice would be appreciated, thanks

There are few of us who look at the metrics and discover these errors.
Many Garmin users only look at the GPS track and time.

My situation has been similar to yours for MANY MONTHS.

I have the training status of 1030 with different values.
Some workouts are not stored by the 1030 and many others are not evaluated by the 5x plus.

Load focus for Fenix NON-EXISTENT (for months)
Load Focus for 1030 present but with errors.

Load focus Fenix Load Focus 1030

training load fenix training load 1030

Almost a year since Garmin has lost its historical reliability for metrics (underestimated and incorrect VO2), incorrect evaluations and unresolved errors (sensors disconnecting and reconnecting at the edge)

Thanks for the reply.

Ive only just started to train over the last couple of months with any consistency after L5,S1 fusion in January. Thought it was me as I’m not the most tech savvy.
Think Garmin may well be pushing us all into purchasing new devices, can’t see any reason why the 5 wouldn’t be able to be allocated ‘Primary training device’ status with an appropriate update

I can only share my experience. I saw training status and VO2max as long as I was running regularly. As I had to stop that due to severe arthrosis half a year ago, I see no training status and only the old VO2 max.. For Cycling I never saw both values as I don't have a powermeter. I recently bought a Tacx Neo2 and I now see VO2 max. for cycling, but obviously I have not done enough sessions to see a training status (weather is still fine for outdoor cycling). So for me everything seems to be o.k. (Fenix 5 plus 19.30).
