    Think all my stuff is now synced. Missing some Connect IQ data fields charts from the most recent run, but that could be due to something else not working properly and I didn't notice.

    Don't have any data for HR, steps or sleep for the last few days and guess that's all gone.

    All that stuff is on your watch but not sure why it wouldn’t go across

    Seems they paid the ransom after all... Ouch.

    I saw a few comments on social media from people thinking that the ransom was paid, but nothing more than random thoughts from people who don't know. Have you seen anything from a believable source saying they paid?

    TL;DR seems like all backups were corrupted/encrypted FIRST and then the other systems taken down. So they paid the ransom or they lost all user data.

    Multiple sources saying that Garmin obtained the decryption key, but didnt 'directly' pay the hackers. Most times, corps will pay a middle man company to look after the payment, that way they cant be fined by US Government for entering transactions with someone who is sanctioned, Evil Corp in this case.

    I have previously found some of the additional IQ fields had uninstalled themselves from my watch, but that's not the case this time as I've just been through and checked they are still installed correctly.

    The Garmin approximation of power is one of the fields I have and that is uploading OK. The other fields I have are a bit more niche and the watch has to download them from other sensors and apps running on my phone (think one of the fields is actually generated on another website between being generated by my phone and then getting back to the GarminIQ field on the watch).

    I'm certain the fields were showing on the data screens as I scrolled through them during my run on Sunday directly on the watch, but only the power one is then uploaded to Garmin Connect.

    Shame that the data is missing from my 3hr long run at the weekend as those duration runs are the ones where this information is actually then useful for me to look at afterwards. If curious it's being able to see background insulin level, carb intake and the decay of carbs on board, blood glucose and active insulin levels.

    Will give it another few days before I worry about trying to reset the setup again though in the hope it sorts itself out.

    I had thought the same on Stryd Power.
    Data not in Garmin Connect mobile but is there in web version. Charts show.

    :D

    That requires multiple thanks for pointing out. Yes, the data is all there on the web version, just not on the mobile app. :D

    I've a few runs to do for a training plan this week so would be handy if the workout sync comes back soon so that I can switch off my brain & let the watch keep me on pace. Not the end of the world if it doesn't of course.

    I assume this is still the case? No new workouts going across to the watch for me

    Thank god my session this morning was a 5km tempo. Would feel even more a slave to the watch having to hit the lap button everytime on something like a 10 x 400. The temptation to cheat the recoveries would be overwhelming too.

    It seems to happen to me every so often. I go to settings and reset to miles. Sometimes in settings it’s showing as set to miles but is coming up in km. I just set to km and reset to m on that case snd it seems to work.

    http://connect.garmin.com is fine for me. Last run was Thursday and I did some yoga yesterday, both show up on there.
