However when I clicked on the ‘rest’ button I never got the option to amend my reps or set the weight used. Tried same thing with my Epix Pro Gen 2 and Garmin Connect worked as it should and I could amend reps and set weights. so not sure if it is a CIRQA issue or a Connect issue as both are on latest firmware. CIRQA firmware: 2.32 Garmin Connect: 5.27.1</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Move alerts should not notify during logged nap when Do Not Disturb is on</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/lily-2-active/440137/move-alerts-should-not-notify-during-logged-nap-when-do-not-disturb-is-on/2049607</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:59:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:f86f6ea0-e179-4982-8327-dfd3dda27fa8</guid><dc:creator>Garmin - KS</dc:creator><description>Since we were unable to reproduce this concern and 3785229 only experienced it a single time, we are treating this as an isolated occurrence at this time and have closed the investigation.

If it can&amp;#39;t connect to the servers and actually get your user information you&amp;#39;ll get stuck with the wrench and you&amp;#39;ll get a little X in the top right hand corner when it fails. Mine would show up on the account, but I think that was all being uploaded through the app and bluetooth. Once I switched to a personal hotspot I got the wrench for about 5 seconds then a checkmark and my profile showed up on the scale.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Index Scale 1.

(this one https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/711488/ ), so I&amp;#39;m posting here, since the Bounce also uses the Garmin Jr. app. My son has been diligently collecting his points and achievements for about half a year and then one day, the app suddenly forgot he existed and showed the setup screen with &amp;quot;You haven&amp;#39;t added any kids yet. Add kids to get this party started!&amp;quot; Under More &amp;gt; Family our family is still set up and shows with name and profile photo. I am listed as administrator. But the Members and Kids lists are empty. It just shows (+) Invite member and (+) Add new kid, respectively. I&amp;#39;ve had to mitigate a 7 year old&amp;#39;s meltdown over the apparently lost data. Not funny. He will now tell everyone who&amp;#39;s listening that Garmin sucks. App version is 7.3 (242) on Android 14 (Lineage OS 21) I saw there is an update available to 7.5 (245), but I haven&amp;#39;t installed it for fear of losing potential recovery options in the process. The only unusual thing I can think of that I did since the last time the app still worked was that I removed the screen lock in the Android security settings when I used that phone as a navigator for a day and later reactivated it with the previous PIN. That shouldn&amp;#39;t have any effect on Garmin Jr. though, should it? Is there any way to get his data back? Or did Garmin just lose a potential life-long customer at this early age?</description><category domain="https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/tags/Garmin%2bjr">Garmin jr</category><category domain="https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/tags/data%2bloss">data loss</category><category domain="https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/tags/vivofit">vivofit</category></item><item><title>Forum Post: Routine HR not showing in Garmin Connect "At a Glance HR Widget" when I remove Cirqa (primary wearable) and put on Epix Pro 2 (primary training).</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/fenix-7/440903/routine-hr-not-showing-in-garmin-connect-at-a-glance-hr-widget-when-i-remove-cirqa-primary-wearable-and-put-on-epix-pro-2-primary-training</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:19:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:b7627e37-284c-4f30-a910-e060401d1884</guid><dc:creator>8009699</dc:creator><description>Routine HR not showing in Garmin Connect &amp;quot;At a Glance HR widget&amp;quot; when I remove Cirqa (primary wearable) and put on Epix Pro 2 (primary training). The HR is getting properly measured and displayed on the Epix Pro 2 watch face. I was still at home preparing to go for a run - so the Cirqa was still showing as connected in Garmin Connect. I wonder if when I leave the house and get out of range of the Cirqa if the HR recorded by the Epix Pro 2 will show real-time in that HR widget in Connect? If I manually sync the Epix Pro 2 in Garmin Connect, the HR data did fill in for the time I have been wearing it. So possible defect in the At a Glance widget when removing the primary wearable and switching to the primary training device. Overall, I am enjoying the Cirqa (only been a day and 1 night so far)...mostly so I can still track data and also wear mechanical watches which had been sitting on the winder for a couple of years since I got the Epix.... Edit: Confirmed that once I left the house for a walk that the At a Glance HR Widget did begin reporting the HR from the watch (once out of range of the Cirqa which was left at home). So this is probably a minor defect or consideration. Fix would be to report HR in the widget if Primary Wearable is not reporting HR/inactive/not being currently worn - but still connected and another device is being worn actively and reporting HR...</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Feature request: alarm settings on home screen.</title><link>https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/fenix-7/440901/feature-request-alarm-settings-on-home-screen/2049478</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:18:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:8be0efbc-eff3-4350-850e-d7db87b63cc3</guid><dc:creator>Garmin - DK</dc:creator><description>Let&amp;#39;s get your request heard, L0www .
