Fenix 5x - Pilates workout deemed "incompatible"

I am trying to download a Garmin Pilates workout. When I try send this to the watch, the Connect App indicates that the 5x is incompatible. Any reasons why or how to fix? Pilates seems a pretty basic set of things that the 5x could track!

Related: On the watch itself, I see I can add a "Yoga" item, but there is no "Pilates" item on the watch itself.

The F5x does not support pilates workouts. Period.

The reason is actually irrelevant, and there is no way for you to fix it.

The reason is still relevant to me, so pls do share. Two subsequent questions:

1. How about Yoga workouts?

2. Which models do support Pilates?

Thanks.

Why? How will it help you with your issue? But since you ask, here's the reason: pilates workouts were introduced after the release of the F5. Garmin rarely introduces new features to old devices, hence no pilates workout compatibility in F5.

I'm not sure. I'd suspect no support, either.

Some of the latest models. This includes the F6 and the VA4/Venu, I think. Perhaps some other models as well.

I have the Fenix 5 S and can record yoga workouts.

We're not talking about regsitering a yoga or pilates workout. We're talking about preparing a pre-programmed yoga/pilates training and sending it to the watch.
