Repair a .fit File for my wife

6782851 1 month ago

Can someone please help me repair a .fit file for my wife?

Her Forerunner 965 had an issue at the end of our half marathon over the weekend and would not let her stop the activity...it was just cycling between the walk/run alerts rapidly and I had to do a hard reset on it to get it to stop and power down. When we powered it back on, the activity was saved on her watch but it will not sync to Connect and I cannot import the file manually from the device either.

I have tried to save as and repair the file using the GPSBabel app but not have any luck.

I have uploaded the file to dropbox, if anyone could help she would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Hello

I tried to find something that could solve your problem. Since I don't know all these programs very well, I send you the links to them to try to solve it:
https://www.fitfileviewer.com/
www.fitfiletools.com/
https://runalyze.com/
-------- also ------
Try this link here, from user Fri66 - with his permission (1 day ago) - he posted:
-I found the solution fixing the .FIT file
-I followed this procedure:developer.garmin.com/.../
-The only downside is that the repaired file now on the Forerunner has not all the infos, but at least it is synced correctly on Connect

----------

I hope these solve your problem. I hope I helped in some way.
Good luck
