Ta.

I do wonder about their architecture though. The workouts can be synced to the mobile app with no problems. The device can sync activities/etc to the mobile app (and the website) with no problems. But you can't get a workout (which is already on the mobile app) onto the device.

So many levels of fuckwittery going on there.

I'm hoping this will all be a big kick up the arse for Garmin to sort out some of their reliance access to servers on the Internet (be they cloud/hybrid or private) in the future. If they don't it might be enough for me to jump ship in the future, and I've been sucking the Garmin cock for many years (eTrex H, Edge 705, Forerunner 110, Forerunner 920xt, Forerunner 935, Forerunner 945).

(They only dipped 6% in share price due to the recent problems but have recovered most of that already.)

their architecture

I remember someone reverse engineering a few wearables a while back (just using a hex editor, I seem to recall)

At the device level, at least, the architecture is to just slap the new thing on top of the old thing, and press down a bit.

I'd imagine it's all a bit like that.
