I just upgraded to the Fenix 5 from the Fenix 3. Today I changed my weight for the first time since getting the new watch and it won't sync to the Fenix 5. I never had this issue with the Fenix 3, in fact my new weight has already synced to the F3. I checked and the new weight is listed on the web site and in the mobile app, it just won't sync to the Fenix 5. Any suggestions?
This used to work on my Fenix 3, but for some reason my weight doesn't sync to my Fenix 5. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this stopped working? Is there a place in Garmin Connect where I can force the weight to be sent to my Fenix 5?
Thank you. I had to go to the user setting screen under my device and from there change my weight to something else then change it back again. Once I did that I was able to get my watch to show my new weight. I wonder why the system doesn't automatically send my weight when it is entered on the actual weight screen.
Weight still won't automatically sync to my device. The weight is correct on both the weight widget and in the user settings for the device on the website. But the data doesn't get marked as changed and therefore does not get sent to my device. If I change the weight and then change it back under the devices user settings it will then get sent to my watch. Can someone from Garmin please help me with this? I never had this issue with my Fenix 3.
I'm sure sure why my weight changes sync to my device sometimes but not others.
Here is what I do:
Use Nokia scale to weigh myself.
Nokia information is automatically synced to MyFitnessPal.
MyFitnessPal automatically sends the new wight to Garmin.
I check that my new weight is visible on both the weight screen and listed under my device's user setting screen.
Sync my Fenix 5 with Garmin Connect.
Sometimes my weight gets sent to my watch, other times I need to change my weight on the device's user setting screen and then change it back before the new weight will get sent to my watch. The only pattern that might exist here is that weight gains aren't sent to the watch while weight loss is. Is there a setting somewhere that prevents weight gains from being sent to my Fenix 5? Could this be a bug with Garmin Connect? I know Garmin has done some work with MFP recently to address a weight sync issue with the Garmin scale.
