My Garmin watch did not sync activities with the Garmin Connect iOS app upon returning home from a week of travels. It did sync my steps from the day I landed, my sleep that night, and steps the following day. It just failed to pick up my running, hiking, and other activities logged when I was abroad.

After a little searching and filtering out obvious tips (make sure Bluetooth is on and paired), I found the key steps and fixed it.

How to get the Garmin Connect iOS app to sync Garmin watch activities that are seemingly being ignored:

1. unpair watch from phone (iOS Settings > Bluetooth > (i) next to watchname > "Forget This Device")
2. hard restart watch (e.g. hold down backlight button on a fenix 7S Pro to turn it off)
3. restart Garmin Connect app (force quit and re-open)
4. re-pair watch to phone
5. wait a while for all the activities to sync

It seemed to sync hikes and walks first, then runs, roughly in reverse chronological order.

The syncing spinner indicator in Garmin Connect took a while and prematurely completed the progress circle ○, and kept “spinning” the arrows 🔁 inside the circle for many minutes.

Note: having some idea how software is written and handles queues etc., I highly recommend fixing any syncing problems like this before recording another activity in your watch. There is a chance that the software bug(s) that caused the syncing problem in the first place may inadvertently only pick up the latest activity and make it even harder to recover or sync the previously unsynced activities.

I had no luck with web searching, e.g. for
* why is Garmin ios app not syncing recent activities from my Garmin watch
and similar queries.

All “AI Overview” results were useless.

Only after going to https://support.garmin.com/ and entering my watch model name and number did I somehow find this article:
* Garmin Connect App: Device Is Paired but Not Connecting to App: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=9BcXLSQ4A22gasLarkUvH6

Which while not the exact problem I was having (my watch did connect, and sync two days of steps and one night of sleep), it felt close enough to be worth reading.

Steps 3 and 4 in the article gave the key steps to try (though I split step 4 into two parts, and in the middle only restarted my watch, there was no reason to restart my phone)

That article linked to another article on "How Do I Restart My Garmin Device?" which I also found useful: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=A6gOR1U2zDAFqmJVdap6k6

Hopefully by blogging this, the next person that has a similar problem (my guess is the Garmin Connect Android app works similarly) can more quickly find this solution and key steps by searching the open web.

@pertho The only little drawback compared to epoll is the lack of atomic signal mask setting, so you need a bit more code and a thoughtful structure to handle signals in the same loop. Apart from that, indeed much better than #epoll.

Unfortunately, it's not beter than inotify (for a completely different purpose, #file #monitoring ... kqueue covers them all). With #inotify, you can for example set a #watch by path, while #kqueue requires opened file descriptors. 😞

My interest in watches has been similar to my passion for photography. Both were very strong when I was a teenager, then they went dormant for more than a decade, to finally resurface. Photography in the early 2000s, watches in the late 2010s. Today’s #watch is the one that I purchased first during this resurgence. It’s the Casio Edifice EFV-100, an elegant-looking, inexpensive quartz watch. Those who noticed it were surprised to learn it was a Casio, as they’re used to thinking Casio = digital.

Galaxy Watch7 and Watch6 Manager Update (April 2025)

Today, Samsung has rolled out the Galaxy Watch7 Manager and the Galaxy Watch6 Manager update globally as they’re working on an update for both smartwatches. You can now download the update through Galaxy Wearable > Devices > Menu > Settings > About. If there is an update available for your device, you should see the update button as below:

The download size for this update is 155 MB, depending on the smartwatch model. Once the update is downloaded, you’ll be able to experience the new version of the Galaxy Wearable app and its manager plugins for your watch. This is done to improve reliability and performance, ensuring that you will be able to interact with your smartwatch more efficiently.

After the update, the following versions will be used:

  • Galaxy Wearable: 2.2.61.24112961
  • Galaxy Watch6 Manager: 2.2.13.25033151
  • Galaxy Watch7 Manager: 2.2.15.25010651

This update is necessary to align with the One UI 7 design elements.

Hey Gus

I had a Casio MDV106 that lasted a little under a year before I broke the acrylic face, I don’t even remember how it broke. I just want a reliable #watch that ideally has a date function and illumination. A quartz face is a must for durability at this point though.
