So my watch recently started failing to fully sync to both of the afore mentioned programs. On garmin Connect both on Android and iOs it'll sync enough to accurately show my heart rate as well as sync my workouts and even post them to Strava like they are supposed to. However, syncing fails towards the end. I've done the normal troubleshooting, like resetting the watch to factory settings and uninstalling and reinstalling the applications, even clearing the cache on the android connect app. I can not download widgets, apps, or watch faces to the watch. Again this is via bluetooth and via USB on PC on the Garmin Express application. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's just a PITA and I can't download the newest update :-( ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1283640.pngciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1283641.pngciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1283642.png
The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I tried everything to correct it and ended up having to do a factory reset to defaults. I had to redo all my settings and download all my 3rd party apps again. It was a pain in the ass, but it worked and also corrected an issue I was having with my barometer.
Okay, so if anyone comes here looking for answers, I got it working again in a roundabout way. I made a new garmin account, connected my watch to that account through garmin express, updated it which was successful, then re logged on via my original account. No idea why, but that was the only thing that fixed the issue
