BUG: WiFi sync is broken!

A WiFi sync does not transfer all data to Connect, so Unified Training Status does not work as intended!

If I leave my 965 (my primary device, on v22.22) at home while riding with my 1040 v26.17 and sync it with WiFi after, pulse does not transfer to Connect, and no intensity minutes are accounted for. The activity itself is transferred without issues though.

If I disable WiFi and sync with Connect Mobile (iOS) there are no issues. See my two test test rides today, the first one I had WiFi disabled and synced with the app and pulse transferred, the second one synced with WiFi and no pulse transferred:

If I trigger a manual WiFi sync it starts as normal with "transfer in progress" but after a while there's "sync failed".

After I installed 26.17 I performed a full reset of the 1040 but issue persists.

I do not expect any of the errors you are describing are related to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or the method by which your data is sent to Garmin Connect.
You can review the 27.07 change log here: https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/edge-1040-series/f/announcements/407648/public-beta-27-07-pre-rollout

HR data recorded by your Edge is not intended to be displayed on your all-day HR timeline. When we do release a change, I expect you will begin to see "gaps" in your HR timeline where Edge activities are recorded.

You initially reported this concern about a month ago, if you review older HR timeline data I'd expect you to find gaps where Edge activities were recorded.

We detail how this is intended to work and your options in the FAQs below:

For something not intended it worked really well for me in the last two years except for a month with a buggy Edge beta. I hope this feature won't be removed because it's very useful for me to see heart rates recorded by the Edge in my daily HR graphs in GC.

Thanks for your feedback, I tend to agree and we'll keep looking for ways to improve this experience.

It was not initially relevant to the question being asked in this thread, but having an advanced Garmin heart rate monitor (HRM-Pro, HRM-Pro Plus, or HRM- Fit) paired to the Garmin Connect App does allow the HRM to fill in your all day HR graph while no watch is being worn.

What Happens if I Have a Watch or Cycling Computer With My HRM-Pro/Pro Plus?

That's not necessary, I have a MooFit HR monitor and that works too. The watch is at home and powered off during the ride.

Then please also consider this:

"I would take it as far as that Edge pulse should even overrule watch if it's worn but outside activity, as we all know the optic sensor on the watch is quite poor for higher heart rates if an activity is not started on it..."
