Garmin Synching Problems

Garmin people - my Garmin isn't synching all of my workouts. It is both frustrating and driving my OCD nuts. Not to mention that half of my workouts are not on Strava - so they didn't happen. Any advice? Has anyone experienced this before?

    Which Garmin do you have?...I know there is a selection under Settings which says transfer all....you could try that.

    I can't seem to find that.  There is an option to delete all or restore the settings.

    Did you git er done? I had a 235 and now a 735xt, and sometimes I gotta finagle it to get it to upload. After connecting to your phone on BT, click "sync" on your watch. It may say sync in progress, or not, but it won't be syncing on the phone! Then I'll cancel on the watch, and hit sync again. A few times of this and it'll start syncing.

    Then once you have all your workouts synced, delete all your activities off the watch. And check that you've got the most updated firmware on the watch. When I do the last 2 regularly I seem to have less problems

    I have the 910xt, sometimes it syncs on it's own, sometimes I have to open the app on my phone to sync it. last resort is connecting the watch to my PC via cable & uploading through Garmin Connect... 
    then run through and delete any dupliated wkos everywhere (garmin, strava, trainingpeaks, etc)

    I have experienced this in the past. What I found that cured my problem was deleting some of the old workouts I knew had uploaded from the device & after I got it to sync I deleted all activities. I got into the habit of deleting old activities every few weeks & have not had a problem since.

    Thank you!  I haven't deleted any of my activities so far. :-/ maybe that is part of the problem.
