Fenix 7X Corrupting files?

It shows on my watch, but the activity never carries over to my Garmin Connect.  

Not typical on a newer Fenix. When it does happen, there are two common reasons:

• Excessive amount of activity files in the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY folder on the watch
• Using one of the HRMs HRM-Pro, Pro Plus, Tri, or Swim can corrupt files

http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ can't fix it either.

Fit File Repair Tool will fix most fit files but requires a software license. If you attach it here, we can try to repair it for you.

It's happened twice, and both times were a Swim activity with the HRM Pro Plus.

It's not letting me attach the .fit file.  How can I get the file over?

You'll need to zip it first, or at least rename the extension. Otherwise:

• Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
• Or upload the fit file to a reputable file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.

This worked, thanks! 

What causes this? Any concern that my Fenix/HRM Pro Plus is failing or is this just a standard bug?

hi,

this error is caused by Garmin and their wonky hr data download procedures

why this goes wrong is a simple faulty error handling or non existing error handling during or after transfer of hr data

you can help others by letting Garmin know this mishap by phone or chat with Garmin Support

success with Garmin Support, oh and insist on getting a ticket number
