Bugs with scheduled workouts & activities data screens customization

Anyone else having problems with these since the 8.25 update?

When I make a preplanned workout in the Connect app and send it to the watch, it appears there normally, but when I start it it starts a normal strength activity. It works up to the point of where I'd start the first set (shows what is planned, how many sets etc) but when I press the play/ start button it just starts normal strength activity and loses all the preplanned data.

With the activity customization / settings I have a weird problem. Let's say I go to Activites -> Run -> pull down arrow to Settings -> Data Screens -> Screen 1 -> Edit data fields: Some fields seem to have wrong output compared to what I've selected. When I choose 'Breath Respiration' for example, it shows 'Heading' as an actual value for that. 

It's relatively new watch so am I just doing something wrong or are these actual bugs?

  • Nothing wrong. I am trying to do the same with data fields. Where I want to display time of day, which is under other, it displays steps lap. This is also the case with all “other” options. There is obviously a programming glitch they need to fix. 

  • Thank you for this report. I tested both of these settings on my watch and was not able to reproduce. However, we'd still like to review this with you to investigate further. Please reach out to your local Garmin Support team.

  • Take a look at this recording.  I went though several “other” options. Of the four options only one populates semi accurately
