Animations workout, does not work on fenix 6X PRO

Hi, I can't see the animations workout on the fenix 6x pro.

https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=IPD6X8JSLBAUQOXvz7zBO6

why?

ps.

Firmware 19.30

  • The workouts cannot be custom and the animations must be selected and downloaded from Garmin Connect to your watch. The activities that qualify and have animations are only the activities listed in the Support Center article you linked to.

  • In my custom training, if I hit "show" instead of "start", I can scroll through the exercise's, there I can see the animation if the exercise has one (like Barbell Benchpress, Squats, Deadlift, Pullups). They get a small "play" icon next to the start button with which I can show the video.

  • Hi. I have the same problem on Tactix Delta Solar.

    Everything is set up OK. Firmware 20.01.

  • As Garmin - Chris said, not all the workouts have animations. Only some pre-defined workouts have animation. Go to workout in your Garmin Connect Mobile or Computer and find the workouts with animation. Then, transfer the workout to your watch and navigate to the app (i.e.: Cardio)-> Training -> Workouts-> Select Workout (i.e.: Tabata Abs: Planks & Sit-ups)-> View. If you use the Tabata Abs, for example, you should see the animation for this workout.

  • In my custom training, if I hit "show" instead of "start", I can scroll through the exercise's, there I can see the animation if the exercise has one (like Barbell Benchpress, Squats, Deadlift, Pullups). They get a small "play" icon next to the start button with which I can show the video.

    Yes, I see the same thing for yoga custom workouts. View lets you step through and view the animations, they just don't show up when you're actually doing the session. Useful for reminding yourself what you're meant to be doing, at least.

  • I noticed that most of the time I'm doing the exercise I can't watch it anyway because my arm is not in front of my face. :)

    Would make more sense to show it in the pause before the upcoming exercise I think. 

  • He does not show me any animation of any workout, Garmin assistance has not been able to help me.

  • Can you see the animations in your Garmin Connect Mobile or Computer? 

    For example, in your GCM: Go to Workouts -> Find a workout -> 15- Minute ab Burner -> Scroll down to see each workout and click on  'Roll Down'. Can you see the workout animation there? If you can. Save the workout. Click Save to My Workouts. Go to your save workouts and click on the workout. Then, save to your device and follow the steps I wrote in my previous comment one day ago.

    Hope this helps

  • Yes, but it doesn't work.

    Garmin support, told me to send it back to Amazon. 

  • I have never used this feature until trying it today out of curiosity on my 6X Pro Solar. It works just fine for me on firmware 20.01 beta. FWIW I tried a couple of Pilates workouts.

    A little test demo....
