Workouts not being synched to Watch after editing

Hey guys,

I just noticed that after I edit some of my existing Custom Workouts in Garmin Connect, they do not get synched to the watch. The old version remains. I tried several times to force the Synch, but it won't work. I also tried changing the name of workout if that would trigger the synch, but it's also not happening.

I am running the latest Beta version.

  • From your description I am not sure whether this is really your case, but if you are getting an error when saving the edited workout, then be aware that there is recently a bug preventing the saving if you use the decimal comma number format. If it is your case, go to Users Setting in GC Web, change the format to the decimal point, and then the workout saving should work again. You may consider reporting the bug to the Support, so there is a bigger chance they fix it.

  • I think it is not. I can Save Workout. And then I do 'Send to Device' it tells me it will be available after Synch. Then I got to Device Settings and select 'Synch Now' on my Watch. But nothing appears on watch. And no messare that Synch failed. Everything else Synch fine.

  • Don't you have too many workouts on your watch? I think 25 is the limit at Epix. You can also try scheduling the workout to a specific date. Sometimes it helps pushing the stuck workout to the watch.

  • If you send a workout to the watch (not schedule in the calendar), and then later update the workout, it won't be updated on the watch through syncing. You have to resend it to the watch (not synching, but sending to device using GC Mobile+Bluetooth or  GC Web+Garmin Express). If this doesn't update the workout, you might have to delete it from the watch before re-sending it.

    If you schedule a workout in the calendar, and then update the workout, it will most likely update on the watch. Although I have seen this fail if you make the changes later in the day. When I am using TrainingPeaks scheduled workouts, I take care of specifying a specific hour time to make sure it is scheduled for later after the change, but this is not possible with GC scheduled workouts, if I am correct.

  • Deleting it on Watch and then Synching worked! Damn.. now I have to check all of the workouts I have uploaded (5) if I made changes since i created :D

  • This is still an issue 2 years later in Nov 2024 with a brand new device.
