Sync 'failed' after SW 3.9 update

Hi! After the latest update, my watch stop 'syncing'. There is still a green circle, but when I click on the device and attempt to sync, it fails all the time.

Activities are still being tracked, so are notifications. But the changes I made via app such as moving the widget around does not get reflected on the watch.

I have. Restarted the phone, switch on/off the Bluetooth on the watch itself, tried syncing via the watch too.

Kindly advise

Thank you

  • Following up. I did a reset on the watch. It worked well for like 3 hours, then suddenly it doesn't work again. Notifications are still coming through.

  • Are you sure you are still with 3.9? There is SW 4.0 now, have you tried to sync using Garmin Express on a PC, rather than the phone app? 

  • HI there! Can you plug your device into the computer and sync with Garmin Express and force the update through?

  • Hi! Thanks for the suggestions! Over the last two days, there are certain period of the day where the Sync will fail, but I can't identify the trigger.

    I am still on 3.90. May sound super silly, but I dont have a access to a laptop with USB drive. I can go through the trouble of finding one or to get an adaptor, but fundamentally, why does it not work via the app?

  • Hi! so i went thru the trouble to find a laptop with USB and used Garmin Express. it states 3.90 as the latest, but a sync was completed.

  • Hey there! Where are you located? It should work through the app over WIFI. Garmin Express is a way to force it. 

  • Hello! Here is the contact for your local support Toll Free 800-8861-072

  • Just putting the log here for reference.

  • Running thru a few tests...seems like sync fails consistently when the watch battery level is below 30%. Could it be some setting problem?
