Training Calendar on watch can't download

Former Member over 8 years ago

So I was doing a training plan and had the workouts downloaded to my watch and the training calendar told me what I was meant to do each day fantastic. I then had a bad couple of weeks and wanted to jump back a bit. I went to Garmin connect and changed the start date. Clicked the arrow on the calendar page and clicked send workouts to device. Watch plugged in to USB and Garmin Express said it had synced. On disconnecting the watch it comes up with a red wheel saying updating for a 15s or so.

What did this do:
1. Cleared my calendar
2. Did not change the workouts on the watch

Tried deleting the plan, set a new one and resending. No change in results.

So next I deleted all the workouts on the watch manually, which was tedious as I had to do it one by one. This time when I sent the workouts to the device it seemed to work, I now have the all the workouts from today onwards. But when I go into Training Calendar on the watch I still get the "Download your training calendar from Garmin Connect" message.

Any ideas, I've been trying this for ages, including syncing via phone and bluetooth.

yup, can confirm. The training calendar does not transfer to the watch, neither with garmin express and USB nor garmin connect and bluetooth... Though the old caledar was deleted automatically.

I checked directly on the USB storage and the workout fit files are on the watch in the proper folder (/GARMIN/WORKOUTS/) I'd say there's a problem with the files themselves.
I also restarted the watch but no dice.

LE2 it is a widespread issue

same problem

I have suddenly the same problem:
I created in garmin connect the trainings, put them in the calendar and then transferred it to the device (watch). Worked always fine. I found it under 'Training Calendar'.
Suddenly I have problems with that procedure:
I transfer it to the device, it tells me that it syncs but there is no training on the watch. Only:'Download your training from Garmin Connect'.
Funny enough the workouts that I have done are uploaded to connect.
I copied now directly some .fit files got from my 3-party training program to the folder of the watch (via USB) and can find them now under 'my workouts', sorted by date. But I can't find the trainings now in connect. They only appear when I've done it.

So, I believe there is something wrong with the data from connect. I hope garmin is figuring out what's going on.

(I went through the whole thing with reset, reinstall etc. until I figured out the above solution) I was even tempted to by another product......
