How to change data screens with workout loaded from Garmin connect

I have created a HIIT workout in my Garmin connect app and exported it to my Garmin vivocative 6. However, I cannot see my data screens that I configure in the settings.

I have 30 rounds of 5 seconds exercise 5 seconds rest, but the screen goes

- Shows 'Rest' screen for 3/4 seconds

- Shows some random screen with a `X/30 0.0 0.00' on for 3/4 seconds

- Shows exercise screen for 1/2 seconds

I cannot seem to change this and due to it flickering between all these random screens I can't keep track of the 5 second timer

  • It seems like you may have Auto Scroll turned on. Please walk through the following steps in order to turn this feature off: From the watch face, swipe left, select Activities, select an activity, and select the activity settings, then Auto Scroll

  • I do not have auto scroll turned on. So yeah to give more context, if I go to HIIT and create a custom workout it works fine. It's specifically the workouts loaded from Garmin Connect, they seem to ignore all my watch settings and have no way to configure them.

  • Thank you for that additional context. I do see that we're currently rolling out new software to the Vivoactive 6, so I'd like to see if a software update can resolve this issue for you. To manually prompt the update, go to your watch's Menu > Settings > System > Software Update. Once your watch is on software version 15.33, please remove the problematic HIIT workout from your watch, then use Garmin Connect to sync it to your watch again.

    If you're still experiencing this issue on 15.33, leave a comment so we can look further into this with you.
