Synching with Garmin Express my changes order of glances

Synching with Garmin Express causes my glances to be reordered.

I see that someone else had this problem with 14.13.  I have it with 18.27.

Normally I try to avoid syncing with GE because things tend to go wrong but I needed to charge my watch from my computer so I thought I might as well sync at the same time.  Lesson learned?

I see that in order to clear the updates on GE it is still necessary to sync, unplug and wait for updates to happen on watch, replug and then sync again.

    It's not juts you! Every single time I upgrade, some of my glances (and activities too) decide to rearrange themselves. Definitely annoying to have to go fix them repeatedly.

    Not every time I synced, but it has happened to me several times. Not only were they reordered, but some were deleted and I had to add them back.

    I just upgraded from the 945 to the 965 and each time I connect the watch to USB to charge (about once a week) the glances get reordered :-/ I don't have this problem syncing the watch and my Android phone, but it annoyingly happens once a week when I charge the watch.

    Sad to see that this was a problem with the 955 too .. you'd think it would have been fixed by now.

    While I agree this bug is super annoying, wouldn't it save you a lot of grief to either charge a different way (e.g. USB brick) or to exit / uninstall Garmin Express? (You can change options in Garmin Express so it doesn't automatically start when your computer starts, and so it doesn't automatically open when you connect a device.)

    Given that you can sync via bluetooth or wi-fi, it seems like there isn't much reason to open Garmin Express, especially if it messes up glances. (Yeah, I realize that Express might be better for updating big maps, but I don't think it's necessary for too many things. You can even manually sync MP3 files without using Express.)
