[gaz76]

Garmins servers have been down all day, anyone else affected by this? Says maintenance on the app, rumours that its something more sinister.

It’s always a fine margin for Garmin when arming for a raming...just raise your gin arm.

Back on topic:
Yes it’s a bit odd

to be out for that long and no mention of anything publicly for a long time.

I was just considering changing to another smart watch supplier. This may have decided it.

You can upload to Strava by using a work-around.

To upload activities to Strava during the Garmin outage, connect your watch to your computer and click the + icon at the top-right in Strava. Select ‘Add Manual Entry’ then ‘File’ on the left. Click ‘Choose Files’ and navigate to your Garmin then the ‘garmin’ folder followed by the 'activity' folder. Select the .FIT file with today’s date et voila - your data is uploaded.
