How to use my wife’s watch while mine is being exchanged?

Former Member over 5 years ago

My watch will be sent in for replacement (bad pulseox sensor). I’ll have an important run coming up next week and I don’t want to lose the stats. Can I (1) use my hrm-tri without a watch and when the replacement watch arrives create the activity retroactively then download the hr data from the band? Or (2) what would be the best steps to take for me to run with my wife’s fenix 6s pro that day, without mixing up our weight, vo2max etc data? What I’m thinking here is to dereg her watch from her account, add it to mine. Do my run. Back up the run to my account. Dereg watch from mine. Add it back to hers. Would something like this work. Thanks in advance for the tips.

If you pay the refurbishment replacement cost when you set up your watch return, Garmin will ship your new unit immediately. Once Garmin receives your old unit they will credit your account.

If you borrow your wife's watch it would probably be easier to just use it for the race. Then either connect to computer usb to pull FIT file or let it upload to wife's GC, export activity from GC and import to your GC account.

I asked Garmin Support also to send a replacement upfront, i would pay for it it Garmin could refund after receiving my RMA. But they said they dont offer that :-( so i was without a Watch already 2 Times for about a Week both times.

Without a watch you'll be unable to start an active for your Tri to record.
