Running V6.0 software, if I create a custom workout (for swim or strength) and try to send to watch...syn fails with error message and no workout seen on watch. Tried from GC mobile, as well as on GC then sending via Garmin Express. No go, and sync tray shows the workouts still there. Unable to get the workouts to syn with watch. I've seen a couple other threads with similar issue, so wondering if it is isolated or general Bug?
Please try this (I'm not sure it's reason why it's working for me now, but I did it and now I can sync custom strength)
1) delete all custom strength workout from GCM and Sync via bluetooth 2) clic to create strength workout, and save it without any modification. 3)open this workout and send it to fenix5 4) sync your fenix 5 via Bluetooth 5) in my case,strength workout appear for the first time on my fenix5 6) It seems I can create and sync custom workout via GCM after that.

Outstanding! It finally worked. After sending over the unedited workout, I was able to create custom strength workout and send it over. Looks like the watch can only hold one workout at a time (only shows the last workout that was synced). I don't even want to attempt creating one on the Garmin Connect website...worried that will bugger things up again.
Thanks for your help (BTW, was on phone with Garmin "support" for 1 hour, and they were unable to fix the issue).:D
I was able to create a simple biceps workout and send to the 5X. However, I have pounds selected in units in device settings, and the workout was created with reps of pounds. But when I "view" the activity it shows kg. Anyone know how to fix this?
Just went through support, trying the various reboots/etc with the Garmin technician. Watch still not able to connect via loading cable. They are replacing the watch (for a second time). What is really odd is that I just noticed the connectors on the back of the watch are no longer gold! Original watch had silver, but replacement watch came with gold connectors, which immediately worked with loading cable. Now the connectors are silver (gold seams to have rubbed off). Garmin tech hadn't heard of this before, but perhaps its why the watch stopped connecting. I must say Garmin support reminds me of the original Apple support, 5 Stars!!! Pleasant and willing to do the right thing.
