BUG - Race Calendar and Primary Race are always empty - F8 43mm AMOLED 13.37

Watch: Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED

Fw ver.: 13.37

Issue:

Race Calendar and Primary Race glances are always empty.

Pre-existing race doesn't show up even after "send to device".

New freshly created races don't show up either.

Don't see them in either these glances or in a Calendar glance.

Pre-requisites:

  • I have several races in my Garmin connect for this year ("no priority")
  • I have some workouts as well in my Garmin Connect calendar
  • I have just created a new race (also "no priority") just to check
  • I have a new Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED on a 13.37 firmware and I'm trying to see those races on my watch

Expectations:

  • I expect to see my primary race in a Primary Race glance after the sync
  • I expect to see my primary and other races in the Race Calendar glance after the sync

Actual behaviour:

  • Workouts (not races) do show up in a Calendar glance, in a calendar on my app and on the web. Even those scheduled on the same day as some races.
  • Pre-existing races however are not showing up in either Primary Race or a Race Calendar glances. Not visible in Calendar glance either (by design?).
  • Newly created races don't show up either
  • Selecting "send to device" on pre-existing as well as on newly created races has no effect
  • Creating a new race and saving it also has no effect.
  • No matter how many times I "send to device" and "sync" Race Calendar and Primary Race glances are always empty.

UPDATE
Possible workaround! Sort of.

  • If there are more than one race, then it's possible to set "race/event priority" between them
  • So create extra races at some time far in the future that you don't care about
  • Now set priorities for all the important races/events.
    • Only one can be "Primary", the rest need to be "supporting". Both types seem to be propagated to a watch.
    • "NO PRIORITY" doesn't show up on watch.

HOWEVER

  • if an event was successfully pushed to the watch once 
  • editing it on the web or mobile doesn't propagate to a watch
    • so if you need to edit - duplicate an event as a new one, make required changes, save, delete old event and only then sync.
