Can any 530 owners see their load focus on Garmin Connect?

If you go to My Stats on your 530, then into your training status screens and keep scrolling down you'll get the Load Focus screen, with the 3 graphs for Anaerobic, High Aerobic and Low Aerobic.

Are there any 530 owners out there (without other fancy devices like 830s or Fenix 6s) that can see that same load focus graph on Garmin Connect (either the app or the web)? I know people that have 830s that can see their load focus graph via the training status in their performance stats, but I don't know anyone with a 530 that can get to this.

I'm asking because after reporting this issue months ago, I'm being offered a replacement device. However, I'm not convinced a replacement device will fix this...

(Please don't reply if your load focus isn't working on the device - that is a different issue)

I have an Edge 530 and I can see the load focus graph on both the web and the app.

Yes, I get Load Focus with my 530.

Admittedly, I do have a Fenix 6, but I do get LF on rides recorded solely on my 530, and I also got LF on my 530 when I was still using my older Fenix 5 (which didn't have LF).

Note that if you are running multiple devices on Garmin Connect, you do have to select each device specifically.

I do see load focus on the device itself, but not on Garmin Connect or on the app.

On Garmin Connect website, the trainingstatus report shows me if rides were mainly high/low aerobic or anaerobic

On Garmin Connect app, the traininstatus report shows me if my training is productive/maintaining/....

But neither shows met the actual load focus. I always found this to be an inconsistency and would be really surprised if someone can really see load focus on GC

can you paste a screenshot of what you see?

Load focus will only be on GC if your Primary device (watch) is capable to show load focus. I have FR245+Edge530 combination , so load focus is not on my GC visible... I tried to even remove my FR245 from GC, bit it still won’t show load focus on GC, only on the edge device itself.

Interesting. I already removed all old devices from GC but it won't show load focus on connect or the app either.

I stand corrected. I have a Forerunner 945 in my profile, but I haven't used it for about six months, only using my Edge 530 for all my activities. I didn't notice that on the webpage it is defaulting to the 945, and it shows Load Focus. When I switch it to the Edge 530, Load Focus disappears. So you're right, definitely a bug if 100% of the data is recorded on the Edge 530 but won't display.

I was just wondering what happened to this the other day as saw it still didn’t show up in GC

Hi, was there ever a conclusion about this issue? Is it possible to see the Load Focus screen and the detailed Exercise Load screen in the Garmin Connect app like the examples shown below if the only device we have is an Edge 530? I don't have these screens, I have only the 7-Day Load screen.

It is always dependend on your primary device which is always the watch. Since I replaced the 245 with 745 I can access load focus etc. With my 245 it was not possible, although using the edge 530 all the time.
