13.21: Indoor Rowing is no longer recorded as "Rowing machine" - why?

Been using the 255 with a Concept2 PM5 in ANT+FE-C mode to get tempo and wattage. Awesome! Really enjoy it.

Since the 13.21 update, however, the activity is saved as "Indoor rowing", instead of "Rowing machine". This means that Garmin Connect doesn't display the useful info such as wattage and tempo - not in the summary page, nor in the graphs.

It can fortunately be changed from "Indoor rowing" to "Rowing machine", but I'd prefer not having to do that. Even if I do change, the summary page doesn't include wattage data.

So. Why was this changed? And when will you change it back again?

Thanks,

Mikael

It is even weirder!

I have the FR 255 since two weeks now and got FW 13.21 right away, so always used it.

Also own a Concept2 and last week on Tuesday (29.11.) training was recorded as TYPE „Rowing Machine…

Also own a Concept2 and last week on Tuesday (29.11.) training was recorded as TYPE „Rowing Machine“, on Friday last week as TYPE „Rowing“ (= outdoor activity!!!)

You can clearly see that in the web version of Garmin Connect.

Of course both times, I started the recording with „Indoor Rowing“ and also the recorded data in both sessions is fine. It is only, that the type of activity tagged is clearly wrong!

@garmin can you please change that back?

1. Sure.

2. Yup. I've already changed all my faulty entries from "Indoor rowing" from "Rowing" to "Rowing machine", though.
