Garmin connect is back... time to get my feet up and analyse my last few runs. Or not 🤣

Took a couple of syncs to retrieve everything, but it’s done and all seems to be normal if a little slow.

Not for me. Says it is still down for maintenance. Nevermind, maybe sometime soon

It is updating on the connect app, but not everything and not to Strava. I guess the sheer volume of data to upload to Strava (not from me ;) ) will mean this could take some time. Nice to have some info back though

Yeah... some things aren’t as fast as normal... for me Strava was quick, but my own performance stats took about 10 minutes

I hit sync again straight after it finished and it got more data from the watch. Appears to have all my activities now.

That's good. I guess after such a big "outage" or whatever it was, things will take a while to get back to normal. The actual exercise is the important bit, but I do like proof that I have done it!

...and there was me wondering if 2020 would deliver anything memorable 🤣

Mine's not back yet...both this gives me hope! 🙏🙂

The app is still saying they’re down for maintenance... and my syncs were slower than my walk back to the car after my HM, but it gets there in the end.

Good to know! My Garmin watch died completely yesterday so will not be able to synch anything....😢. A new one is arriving this morning but if this Garmin performance continues might switch to apple.

I’ve only used them since last May... first time I’ve even seen a maintenance message. Strava warning that it could take a week for all activities to reach them, but I think they’re being a little pessimistic... all mine are up, and this mornings one then went straight through.

Mines not working yet , maybe take a while👍

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34

It now seems to be doing something , might just take a while to catch up

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

Yeah... everything is slow

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

The only thing missing is last Thursday. I don't have any steps and I had no heart rate that day 🤣

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

... and you’re sure you were alive on Thursday? 🤣

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Yes I'm sure 🤣👍

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

Cool. Have you tried syncing again? Took a couple or three syncs for most people it seems

Buddy34 profile image
Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Yes everything is there apart from Thursday its just blank but no big deal

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Run this morning uploaded but the elevation gain is missing on garmin . Although when it transfered over to strava the elevation gain is on there , strange 🤔

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

Weird

I’ve got mine back, took a few syncs to get all the data. Some bits still not quite right and still got the down for maintenance message showing.

Tasha99Graduate10 in reply to Lizzibeth78

Same

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Lizzibeth78

Yeah, that message is still sat on my screen, but I can’t see anything missing now from Strava... certainly not a run anyways.

It's so lovely to have all the data back. If it wasnt absolutely pouring out I might have gone for a long celebratory run, may restrict myself to my normal 7k loop. Happy running everyone 🤗

UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs

I got a little wet on this mornings jog... but luckily I also got blown around which helped my shirt keep relatively dry 🤣🤣

Grannyhugs profile image
GrannyhugsGraduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Very wet and chilly enough in the wind that 7k was long enough so I didn't get frost bite. I love having my stats back but will be taking paper record of the big ones like 2020 total and post graduate total as about to reach milestone Km's, so excited.

Mine is connecting to strava and is syncing to phone. It still has the maintenance banner on screen but working as normal

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63

Excellent... I guess they’re leaving that banner up to avoid lots of “it’s going really slowly” emails

ForestGrump63 profile image
ForestGrump6360minGraduate in reply to UnfitNoMore

I guess so. I was happy my weekend 8k uploaded to connect, though I did use strava manually as a back up😊

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63

I had notes on NRC ready to add to Strava and Garmin, but luckily no need

My watch just finished syncing, and apparently my VO2 Max went up a notch while Garmin was down 🤣

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to roseabi

Mine too... and my fitness age is 20... I think they must still be having issues 🤣🤣

I love that. Hubby's has been going down recently as hes been doing long hilly runs but his too was up this morning, then he went for a short hilly run and it dropped down again 🤣🤣 it's still an amazingingly high vo2max value as hes super fit so he's more confused than anything

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs

I get that... and it says the longer you wear the watch the more accurate it is 🤷‍♂️ I’m still only in the “good” bit, I imagine when in the next stage I have to go back to school and when in superior I’ll be a twinkle in daddy’s eye again!

No, it's still down for me...

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to davelinks

Still no joy? You should still see the maintenance message, but look to see if the watch connects regardless.

davelinks profile image

still down for me as well :(

My syncs were slow and said they had updated but might take a while to show.

But worried when it showed my steps streak as 204 days. 24th and 25th from my vivofit were missing!

But all is well, it shows 207 days now that I have uploaded this morning's run and walks.

I wasn't too worried about anything else because I could get my walk distances for those two days from Geoff and enter them manually on Strava if necessary.

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue

You’re just 206 days ahead of me there 🤣🤣🤣

RunaroundSue profile image
RunaroundSueGraduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore

Ha ha, better get walking then :)

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue

Got a recovery run coming up that will put me on a whole 2

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue

23rd of July is missing for me also

RunaroundSue profile image
RunaroundSueGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

Mine is there now. I can imagine the system is now overloaded with everyone trying to catch up

Still nothing for me - just tried again. Sync failed! 😢

UnfitNoMore profile image
UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply to JonathanP

I think they’re probably struggling under the amount of data hitting them at the moment.
