Most of the workouts are incompatible with Fenix 6X Pro. I cannot send them to the device. What am I doing wrong?

In the connect app I see a whole bunch of workouts (under training). But whenever I try to send them to my watch (Fenix 6X Pro) it says I don't have any compatible devices.

I found one that works but most of them don't.

Those that don't work are nothing special, for example, the 40/20 squat thrusts which is just 10 rounds of squats is supposedly not compatible while the one that I managed to sync also had squats.

I try to reproduce the issue and I have the same issue. This seem to be an issue on the GC.

But you get workout on the device.

After you create the workout in the workout menu, you need to go to the Calendar tab and there you can add the workout to desired date and this will synchronized to the the watch.

That doesn't work for me. I can add all workouts to the training calendar but only those that I'm able to send directly to the device appear in the calendar on the app.
Apparently, HIIT workouts are not compatible with the Fenix series. I'm not sure why.

I think that depends on the composition. I sync running HIIT workouts without any problem.

I have the same issue with my 745. Any updates on this?

Are you referring to interval trainings ? I don't see any HIIT running workouts in the list.

There's 20 workout maximum(combined run,bike,everything else). Once 20 workouts are stored no other workouts can be loaded. The only way to load new workouts is to delete stored workouts and resend the new workouts.

I'm getting this problem on a new watch, with no other workouts loaded. Seems that for some reason, HIIT workouts (I've been looking at the Tabata exercises) are limited to specific watches; this page suggests it's only Venu series: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/fitness/making-the-most-of-hiit-workouts-with-garmin/

A bit annoying that it's not available on the higher end watches.

I create my own HIIT running workouts

I'm guessing you are creating a "Run" workout and creating a HIIT pattern? I think what everyone here is wanting is a "HIIT" workout with whatever activities they want in there, but the "HIIT" activity type doesn't appear to exist for Fenix (or most other watches other than Venu)

Same here, but I found this link https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=lLvhWrmlMv0vGmyGpWjOX6 and apparently HIIT workout is compatible only with Venu 2 series
