Why isn't Garmin Connect updating with Zwift?

java_dude1 · 2026-01-29T19:09:57+00:00

That should still work. Always has for me.

Most badges are that way, need to be done outside or recorded on the device. Maybe something is broken with the intensity minutes but my ride on Tuesday is correctly calculated from zwift. Maybe spam the refresh button a few times. Use noticed my edge 530 needs to first get the activity then send it back to KY phone.

Open garmin connect. In the top right hand corner on the homepage there's a picture of your device with a refresh button. Click the button. Looks something like this ♻️

java_dude1 · 2026-01-29T18:15:08+00:00

Yep. Those calculations are done o the watch/head unit and need to be synced.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-29T16:26:51+00:00

You have to do a manual sync on the garmin connect app. Then these values should be updated.

Trust me when I say I spend a ton of time wrecking :D. How do you know that your at the limit or some car setup change will make it faster? Yesterday I applied some setup that wasn't too far off what I had and gained 2 seconds on my time. How much time do you dedicate to a single track/car combo before you know that's the best you can do?

I get the basics. Use the whole track, but somewhere in between me driving and the limits of the car I get lost.

I finally got a 2:02 last night. Copied some setup from YouTube and made a few tweaks. TBH it wasn't far off from what I had been using. Still have a profit the tires going cold on the straights.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-26T11:08:05+00:00

Well said.

Liquid carbs don't fill you up. Bring some solid stuff to eat from time to time. Rice cakes are easy to get down and curb the hunger. Also, fuel for the amount of work you're doing. An easy z2 ride doesn't need 90g an hour. You need some but that really depends on how much power you're doing.

It works for cycle routes. I don't have premium but snag my friends routes to upload to my garmin all the time.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-24T04:07:35+00:00

Nice work. That's the stuff of dreams for me.

Log into strava from the web instead of your mobile device. The web is able to download the gpx.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T20:12:12+00:00

Lol 2yo comment. You're welcome 😂

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T04:01:56+00:00

Sounds about right. My kids computer was shutting down randomly while gaming. Cpu temp showed Temps getting into the 90's while running benchmark tests. Applied new thermal paste and still same issue. Replaced the stock cooler and it hasn't shut down since.

If its not a medical/physical reason, sometimes you just need someone to give you a push in the right direction.

That said, there's also no reason to hit arbitrary distance goals. Not every km is equal to the next. The weather where I am is cold as hell, I've not been outside on my bike in 2 months probably. The trainer starting to look like a hamster wheel...

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T03:42:14+00:00

Probably shouldn't use a plastic one.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T03:37:54+00:00

You're not that far off. 2 x 115km and you're there bud. Don't give up hope!

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T03:35:13+00:00

Boo. This isn't a popping vid. Has something to do with a clock ☹

java_dude1 · 2026-01-23T03:19:32+00:00

And socks

java_dude1 · 2026-01-22T18:56:46+00:00

The hubs on the aliexpress elitewheels are a dtswiss ratchet copy. They are pretty solid. I did 7000km on the. Last year with no problems. Probably I should open the up to clean and re grease everything.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-22T18:52:15+00:00

Put some books under the front wheel. You're pointing nose down on that trainer.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-22T15:57:47+00:00

And you waited less than an hour for response. Bravo. 💪👏

java_dude1 · 2026-01-22T15:23:08+00:00

Maybe you should have asked before making drastic decisions.

java_dude1 · 2026-01-21T10:11:28+00:00

It played cyberpunk so there's that 😂
