Corrupt .Fit file : (

Hi All,

More and more frequently my watch is not syncing with the garmin connect app. Is there a common reason why this happens? Is there something I can do to stop it from happening?

I also can't attach the file as it's a .FIT file and I don't know how to convert it to anything else : (

I am doing a virtual running challenge from Lands End to John O Groats so every mile counts - please help!

  • The most common reason (but probably not the only one) for producing broken fit files by the FR35 is running out of storage space. For some reason the FR35 doesn't handle this well. So before recording any particularly long runs, make sure to delete old activities.

    hi ET,

    some advice

    contact Garmin Support by phone and tell them about your mishap

    • get a case number and report that number in the forum
    • you can help others with building a larger case this way
    • mac users empty bin when device connected

    avoid pausing during activities

    clean activity folder on a regular base

    Fit File Repair Tool can repair your fit file, time for an investment when you keep using the FR35 

    • want a fit file repair without investment
    • zip your fit file, make a new post, drag & drop the zip onto your post

    happy & safe sporting
