How often does the watch auto-sync?

When I save an exercise on my watch, sometimes it shows up in garmin/strava after a few minutes, other times it takes hours and I have to manually open the connect app to get it to sync. Is there a way to get the watch to auto sync anytime you save a new activity?

To a great extent, it depends also on your phone. Some brands use battery optimizing features preventing the GC app to poll the watch over BT unless in focus. Normally, as long as the phone is within the BT reach, the app running, and not suspended by the OS, the activity is synced upon saving. You may want to check diverse battery optimizing options, and background permissions, on your phone.
