[SOLVED] Garmin Connect Weight Not Linking Properly

[gtdean11]

intervals.icu seems to be reverting back to a weight for new activities. I have it syncing weight with Garmin, but it reverts to 183.4 every chance it gets - as an example, I logged 184.7 on october 1st, nothing on october 2nd, and 186.9 on october 3rd, but my activity on october 2nd has 183.4 listed as the activity weight.

There was recently another thread regarding strange behavior of Garmin synced weight:

Welness Data (Weight and resting HR) copied from last record

Welness Data (Weight and resting HR) are copied from last record to consecutive day even when no wellness data were recorded/taken for that day. Eg. I entered weight in garmin connect last week, since that no new weight data was entered, but ICU still shows this last weight for each day, when any activity recorded. Its wrong, my weight is not the same and should be only shown, when data were entered/recorded that day.

Your info seems very valuable to understand what is going on.
From what I can tell with your info, the Garmin synced weight was logged in intervals after your workout. When you do a workout, the most recent weight is used for the calculations, and that can come from a wellness entry or a settings entry, depending on what is most recent.
Looks like at the start of your workout, the weight from Garmin was not yet available and thus the most recent from wellness was used for the calculations.

Final conclusion:

• or you entered your weight on Garmin after your workout
• or you entered it before but it synced only later and the timestamp from the sync was used to locate it in time. If the weight from Garmin comes with a timestamp from the entry, the weight in the wellness would be correct but the activity may already be calculated with the most recent from wellness because the more recent one from Garmin wasn’t synced yet.

I do typically log my weight after workouts, but that’s not it.

I biked yesterday, logged my weight after the bike (186.1), synced to garmin and saw it on intervals.

This morning I ran, and it recorded my weight during the run as 183.4. It seems to be reverting to some different value rather than the last recorded weight.

I suspect there is a problem with the date and/or timestamp from Garmin synced weight and RHR.

Update: it does, however, seem to correctly update weight if you record it in the same day. I recorded my weight after my run this morning (184.3), and it updated the run to that weight. So seems to be functioning correctly when there is activity and weigh in, just off when there is either an activity and no weigh in or no activity and no weigh in.

You have “Update weight from Strava” ticked in /settings. Thats probably what is causing the problem.

@david , thanks - that solved it perfectly.
