Can’t save multiple activities in a day

Former Member over 5 years ago

I can’t seem to save multiple runs in one day. I record a warmup mile and save it. Then run my workout and save it. Finally, I run and save my cool down mile. The only activity that’s on my watch is the final cool down mile. The other activities are gone. They do seem to save in the moment and I press done at the very end of each recording before starting the next activity, but it appears that they are being overwritten with the new activities.
Is there a setting that I can change? If I have my phone nearby, and the watch is connected, it will upload each activity to garmin connect but I don’t always have my phone with me. Thoughts? Suggestions?!

Thanks!!

Works fine for me - I can save as many activities as I want, on my Instinct, without having the phone near by. Did you try clearing the folder \GARMIN\Activities on your watch (over the USB cable), removing old files? If there is a huge amount of old data, perhaps there is no more space on the watch.

I’ll try this today. I’ve actually had a lot of problems with this watch which makes me sad. I reset the watch last night after posting this and deleted all days (though my records are still there so that’s cool). Would that have erased the files in that folder? I’ll connect it to the computer and see what’s lingering.

Connect your watch to PC and check how much space is left in it. If there is a little space it'll delete the oldest activity to make space for the new one. Otherwise, it shouldn't delete the previous activities as long as you really save it after doing it. If it continues, next time after recording your warm up check if it's present in the history. Later check the run activity and cool down after each one to be sure they were recorded successfully.
