Auto Sync Not Working

Hi, and apologies in advance if this has been asked before, but my Fenix 5X used to auto sync. So, for example, I'd go for a run and when i got home, as soon as the bluetooth connection was established between watch and phone, the activity would upload.


Now i have to manually open the Garmin Connect app before the watch will sync. I can't find any settings that address this.


Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • Hello..

    Maybe it wont sync in background after Garmin app update. 

    I would try to re-install the app and then re-pair the 5X and the Phone.

    Anyway, your watch have WiFi so why u dont add your home WiFi to your watch and it will automaticaly sync when u are in range.

    Have a good day
