Dive not syncing MK2i but everything else does

Hi guys,

love my MK2i but sync is a drag. Phone (Pixel 8 Pro) looses link to watch randomly but reconnect works.

That's fine currently but this is my current problem: recorded my first dive this year and it simply does not sync (BT or Android Connect App).

Apps and watch are up to date, my watch is connected to the phone and all other activities sync normally. Just no sync for this dive like it doesn't exist. Last year sync for dives was running fine on same setup.

Headed to Egypt next week and would appreciate help on not only how to transfer this dive but also get the sync running normally again for future dives.

Thanks and BR,

Martin

Experiencing the same issue. About every other dive is syncing which is not helpful without a computer while on a week long dive trip putting in four to five dives per day.

Tried restarting, tried disconnecting and reconnecting, uninstalled and re installed the app, nothing has worked to solve the issue.

Past two years I couldn't have been happier with how well it has worked.

Hello. I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. For syncing the dive data, you will want to use the Garmin Dive app. Be sure the watch is paired with the Garmin Dive app, and try the sync. If this is not syncing the Dive data, I would recommend trying the following.

You can first try manually importing the Dive activity to Connect: How Do I Manually Upload an Activity I Recorded to Garmin Connect?

I would then recommend removing the stored files from the watch. This would include Activities, Courses, Workouts, Locations, Remoted SW, New Files.

Connect the watch with a windows computer
Open the watch drive
Open the Garmin folder
Delete the mentioned data
Disconnect the watch from the computer

I would also recommend trying a hard reset. For this, hold the Light button until the watch shuts off, as opposed to selecting power off. Then power this on again.

Try recording a new Dive activity, and try syncing this with the Dive app.
