Does anyone have any idea if data can be recovered (mostly interested in GPS-data lat lon)?

    Hey, thank you for quick response! It was a kayak-trip lasting for around 3 hours. During rescue-practise (under water) the trip was perhaps discarded accidently or somehow ended, exact reason unkown. The watch still worked fine, but it was as if I never recorded at all. Files were recovered using Recuva, sorting by files "Last Modified" on the date today. The "ACTIVITY" folder in the file explorer was empty..

    hi,

    thank you for the feedback

    took the most recent fit file '_6SC4719.FIT'

    cut all the non activity data and ran it through Fit File Tools's section remover

    check this file fitfiletools.zip

    Thank you so much, the data quality looks totally perfect! Fit File Tools is definetley something I will checkout (I only found Garmin online fit repair tool so far). Did  you also use this tool to remove non activity data? As the .fit format is binary I find it hard to "hack".

    you could use Fit File Repair Tool, the crème de la crème, it needs a license for full repair
