Custom Workout will not sync/upload to watch

Hello, Does anyone know how to upload a custom workout from either the Garmin Connect App, or the Garmin Express Program from the computer onto the actual Garmin watch? I have tried so many times though creating a workout in both the Custom tab and through an actual activity (such as Cardio), then pressing the 'smart phone' icon and syncing it. However it does not seem to appear? I have even added it to my calendar on the garmin app, but it does not come up on my watch itself. The Garmin Coach workouts uploads fine. I really wanted this to work! I prefer to have the HIIT schedules programmed into my watch, then use my phone timer.

    Hi, I have just "found" that issue. It seems that on FR45you can only create running custom workouts and only these will be successfully uploaded to the watch. Any other type of workout gave me "No device found" or "Not compatible" errors in Garmin Connect.

    I also have this problem when trying to upload a strength training program. Did you manage to get it working somehow?

    That should not be true, because mine shows me the bike workouts I have set up for my Edge 530.

    Hi jessica.goodson, it works for me.
    It synced my bike training plan.
    You can try to create one exercise, and on garmin connect go to: exercises, click on the exercise and on top/right you have icon saying send to device.
    At least to understand if the exercise you created is compatible.
    I know on first sync of the watch it didn't sync the exercises, I guess I needed to go to dispositives => forerunner 45 and click on the sync icon. But. I don't remember very well.
