I've just moved from an old Garmin Vivoactive HR to a Vivoactive 3. Watch is good (love being able to Garmin pay with it) but I'm having trouble using the custom gps datafields from tbwonder.

I can create an "other" activity, then add the ConnectIQ datafields ok. But it's like it doesn't save. When I go to run the activity, it reverts to a basic timer.

has anyone been successful loading these datafields on their VA3? Any tips to make it work? I did chat to Andy but he hasn't heard of similar issues.

cheers

James, I had a bit of trouble initially, I thought I had loaded screens, but then they weren't there. This was really my lack of familiarity with the V3 functions after using a FR920XT (lost in the drink). Im now able to access and use the screens consistently. Persist with it and it should work for you.
