Garmin updated all my FIT files

1 watcher

Ulric Mar 2016 1:28pm, 27 Mar 2016 165 posts	0 Ulric Got up this am and turned the Garmin on just to see if it had done the clock change. All seemed well and I could cycle through the menus. Pretty sure I turned it off but it was fully charged anyway. 2H later turned it on to go for my run but couldn't get past the splash screen. After a while a panicked and connected to my laptop and did a full backup. After a while managed to get it properly started and did my run. What is weird though is that when I looked closer whilst doing my upload I saw that the timestamp on ALL the FIT files had been updated to 10.16 this morning which was the time it wasn't behaving. This is definite as I had a full backup from earlier in March and they definitely all had appropriate timestamps then. Anyone had this before? There are various eventlogs on it but not looked at them too closely yet.

The good news FWIW is that it doesn't alter the timestamps in the file itself, and so, even if it resyncs all the files, it shouldn't mess up your history on GC, as it will recognise all the files as previously uploaded.
