Garmin Connect outage stops users uploading new activities
Garmin Connect is experiencing an outage, leaving users unable to upload new exercise activities.
The service links Garmin watches and bike computers to the internet, and Garmin says some golf and diving platforms are also affected.
New activity uploads are not working, and watches may be unable to sync with phones.
Users can still view existing data and historical activity on the Connect page.
Activities recorded during the outage are likely to upload once service returns, and may then pass to connected services such as Strava.
Garmin says it is working to resolve the problem, but has not said when service will be restored.
