Hi all,
Something that may help others having this annoying issue which commonly occurs on my D2 Delta.
Symptom :
When initiating a WiFi sync, the watch displays a red band with "Transfer complete (x files failed)". Additionally I have noted when this happens, my VO2 Max status keeps going down even though I do activites.
Possible solution :
- Go to Garmin Connect, click on the "Watch" icon and select "Device Settings" for your device - in my case D2 Delta.
- Click the "Device Settings" tab and find the "Physio TrueUp" option under "Device Sync" .
- If it is on, turn it off and click "Save Settings" at the bottom of the page. If it is already off, skip the next step.
- Initiate a WiFi sync from your watch. First time you may get a red band with the same error message. Do another sync. This time you should get a green band and "Transfer complete".
- Go back to Garmin Connect and turn "Physio TrueUp" on.
- Initiate a WiFi sync from your watch. This will take quite a while whilst the unit syncs all activites with Garmin Connect.
- If all is well, you should get the green band with "Transfer complete". I recommend you turn the watch off and back on and test with anohter WiFi sync.
The above works for me every time I get a red band error. This scenario seems to always occur when I do a reset of the watch. However following the above steps seems to resolve the issue.
As an aside to getting a clean transfer, my VO2 Max went from 36 to 40 in one step after my last activity. Ok so I might not be super fit but geez all those power walks with the VO2 Max always going down was, well a downer. The above steps seems to have fixed the metrics.
