Premise: I would like to use only Garmin Connect via the web, and I intend to leave enabled the wifi all the time on the watch to synchronize things.
I did a simple test at home, leaving WiFi on the watch enabled all day and turning on logging on the router to see how often a connection is established with the watch. I saw that the connection is established only when:
- I perform a manual synchronization
- I save a workout and am in close proximity to the WiFi network
- I've saved a workout but have not yet synchronized; as soon as I am near the WiFi network, the synchronization starts.
I've read in several posts that the WiFi on the watch keeps polling, but that doesn't seem to be the case also because I don't see any impact on the battery. Am I wrong?
TIA
