CPE does not update on syncing with Garmin Connect

I have experienced long wait times for my watch to acquire a GPS signal (GPS+GLONASS) and after looking up problem have found that the CPE has expired. However, syncing regularly with my phone and Garmin Connect does not fix the issue.

I am unable to download and use Garmin Express, so I have not tried this as a potential solution. Are there any other methods I can try to update the CPE?

  • To me it seems: When synching your watch with Garmin Connect, you have to grant permission to the watch to “show notifications”. After I had granted the permission, the file was update. I usually don't care about the notifications and ignore the permission request. I assume it includes rights to write to the watch, i.e. transfer a file.
