Bug: Hydration tracking does not sync

This has been mentioned before, but it's still not working right.

What's happening is if I use the hydration widget on the watch to track hydration WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED TO MY PHONE it will not sync later when I do connect the phone.

To make the hydration sync, after I connect to the phone I have to go into Hydration and click + or -. It's the only way to sync. Running just the sync from the app or the watch will not do it. The value has to be changed.

In the few days I've had the VA4, hydration appears to be the only data that will not "sync up" when you connect the phone. All other data seems to sync fine.

To clarify, the reason I don't leave my watch connected to the phone all day is because it uses about 50% of the battery per day. If I keep it disconnected and only sync up once or twice a day (for instance, only when I work out) the battery only drains <10% per day.

I have sent you an email.

Are you experiencing the same hydration widget symptoms described above?

Hey Garmin-Kevin I'm an Android user but have the same issue. Just today I have to adjust my hydration settings.
I had 1100ml in widget but once I synced it with my watch it was reset to 880ml and I have to adjust manually. This was before on 5.60, on beta 5.75 and now on 5.80.

I even had a video somwhere from the beta where I sync data with my watch and it's all wrong.

Hey all, I found an FAQ that confirms that you will need to be viewing your Hydration widget when you sync in order to get the intake recorded on your watch to sync to the Garmin Connect app. Please see the "Syncing Hydration Data With Garmin Connect" in the FAQ below.

Lol, that's ridiculous.

Thats like: Youve to be in heartrate screen to sync the heartrate, after that, switch to stress screen to sync it.

Tested it, it syncs the actual day, but not previous.

Garmin has to fix it, its an bug.
