BUG? Training Load on 5X Different on Garmin Connect

Currently my Fenix 5X is saying that training load is at 556 but Garmin Connect is saying 416.
This is using the Training Status widget on the 5X and the Training Status page on Garmin Connect Web.
The Garmin Connect iPhone app seems to be consistent with the Garmin Connect Web.
I don't think I've seen the two match maybe ever.
Could I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Does anybody else get that problem?
  • My F5x and GC app on my iPad match exactly. I haven't done anything regarding syncing them, so it seems to work for me.

    Although my watch matches on the traning load, I get different values elsewhere such as V02 Max.

    I asked but nobody seems to know. I'm assuming a bug.

    VO2 max changed from Felix 3HR to 5X as well - went way down from 54 to 49.

    Wait a while -- when I had to hard-reset my F3 Vo2Max dropped a fair bit when it first "re-aquired" a reading, and then over the next 3-4 weeks went back to where it was. My first reading on the F5x was also low by about three points.

    Now it's back to where it was and I don't think my body took a step function down when I swapped one for the other on my wrist :)

    I wonder if it's to do with the fact that I use the 5x both for cycling and running often on the same day.

    Still never getting the same numbers or status :(

    For example, right now, my 5x says "unproductive" with training load 506/optimal but GC says "productive" 448/optimal.

    Who should I trust?
  • I have the same problem. When I make a workout the watch updated my Training Load. But Connect shoes not the new Load. On the next day without a workout the load ist the same on watch and connect.

    I have the same issue. GC is always one day delayed. Maybe it has something to do with time zones or server location. I'm based in Europe (Austria).
  • Try this: start a new activity. After one second stop the activity and faulting it. Now syncing again. This helps by me.

    Thanks for your workaround - it did the trick ;)
