[Request] FIT file - ride metrics properly recognized and accounted for in Garmin Connect import

Context:
I greatly enjoy my Karoo2 and all of its features, including the automatic uploading of activities to TrainingPeaks and Strava. However, I use Garmin Connect and manually import the FIT files from the Hammerhead Dashboard into Garmin Connect.

Problem: When I import a file from Hammerhead into Garmin Connect, the calories and power metrics do not get imported, so the data is incomplete. In addition, the activity does not get taken into account when measuring my training workload, which is the case for other activities recorded and uploaded to Garmin Connect.

Request: is it possible to diagnose this problem and change the fit file content so that Garmin Connect recognises the additional data and, consequently, makes it possible for the activity to be taken into account for all Garmin features?

Thanks in advance for any reply

  Hey Daan,

  Thank you for posting here! We are indeed aware of the opportunity for improvement between the FIT files from the Karoo when uploaded on the Garmin Connect platform. There are internal fields & data metrics on the FIT file that are stored as records and not sessions. We assure you that this has been fed into the roadmap.

  Any news on Garmin Connect compatibility? Especially with regard to treating Training Load / Training Effect information correctly (like Zwift and Rouvy)? Maybe that is something that has to be provided in the FIT file?

  Any updates on this? Really like the HH UI - much better than Garmin but Connect gives me information in a different way to Strava that I really like. It’s a shame that HH activities still aren’t contributing to training status.

  I've been wondering why my Vo2 has been getting nailed lately. Then I saw the lack of training status and its all down to this. I can't believe its not fixed!
