Record weight and reps, is it possible?

I got the 235 some days ago and tried a gym session with Gym Genius. I made a workout on the gym genius page with predefined reps, weight and sets. When everything was synced I have detailed info on weight lifted etc on that page but Garmin Connect only has time, HR and calories recorded.

If I look in the Connect app I see possibility to create a workout, I just realized I can add workouts there, would the watch tell me when to rest, what to lift et.c while I'm working out?

I'm having a hard time to explain what I want, but I'm coming from Jefit on my phone and was hoping on a somewhat similar experience on the watch. With Jefit I make a predefined workout and fill in weight and reps after each set while in the gym. Is this possible on a fr235?

What you're describing is a feature that the latest generation of Garmin watches has but with the 235 being 2 years old now the odds of it getting a Strength activity added are slim to none.

Ok, and there are no apps that can record a more detailed workout than time, hr and calories?

If so I will stick to using Jefit for workouts and adding data in Connect manually, to bad.

Also, I just realized I could only make workouts in Connect, not send them to the watch.

There might be an app in the Connect IQ store but I don't know for sure. Click the link below and select the FR235 and it will show all of the apps that will work with your watch.
