Zwift → Garmin sync works, but no intensity minutes or training load?
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with my setup and I’m hoping someone can clarify this for me.
I’m using Zwift together with Garmin Connect. After each ride, my Zwift activities are successfully synced to Garmin Connect and I can see all the data there (including heart rate).
However, these activities do NOT contribute to my intensity minutes, and I also don’t see any training load being calculated.
My setup:
• Garmin Venu 4
• Garmin HRM 200 (connected to Zwift)
• Zwift → Garmin Connect sync
From what I’ve read, it sounded like Garmin should be able to calculate training metrics after syncing the activity to the watch.

But in my case, nothing happens.
Is there any way to get full Garmin metrics without recording the activity separately on a Garmin device?
