Custom workouts not working

Former Member over 7 years ago

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like I can't create and transfer custom workouts to my vivoactive3.

Method 1 - SUP workout - this is preferred. I select "Select activity type" as per the first screenshot but all I get is:

Run
Bike
Pool Swim
Strength
Cardio
Custom

Why is there no SUP option? Should there be one?

Method 2 - Custom workout:
This isn't really what I want, it's only good for me to do distance/times and won't actually give me any of the stats I want, which a SUP workout is perfect for, but it's better than nothing.

I create a custom workout, sync it, and then on my vivoactive 3 I don't seem to have any way to select "do workout" for it.

If you've managed to figure this out, what do I need to do to get either of these working?

Thanks in advance!

There is a SUP activity for the VA3 it just doesn't seem to be installed on your watch. If you go to the device setting in the Garmin mobile app "Activities & Apps" it'll show which activities are your Favorites in one section another section, More Activities and Apps, shows others that are installed and at the bottom there's a section Removed which shows apps and activities that the watch supports but aren't currently installed.

Of course it could also be that it's installed but not in your Favorites. In which case when you hit the button on the watch the activities in your favorites list will show but you have to scroll down and hit the four little colored circles at the end of the list to see the other installed apps and activities.

Edit: Just realized that I answered a question you weren't asking. Sorry, I don't know if there is a means to create workouts for SUP activities.
