Connect garmin fenix to MacBook

Hi, Frank J, maybe I can help you with this. Usually, there is some software/application associated with your Garmin Fenix 6 running watch. BUT.... because you have upgraded/upgraded?? your MacBook Pro 13" to Catalina, there is a big pothole in the road which you can't avoid. That is, because Catalina will only run 64 bit apps and nothing else; companies that make Mac compatible stuff, software and apps included, have to re-do/re-write/re-test their apps and other stuff to make sure that they will

run 100% with Catalina, which means they have to be 100% 64 bit or they won't work at all.

This will take time, effort and money. and yes, this does include Garmin. So you'll either have to be patient and wait for an updated app or software that works in Catalina (and is 64 bit). I presume that your running watch was working OK before, and that under Finder>> Preferences, show a bunch of stuff was turned on. Garmin express, which is what your watch uses for sofware and updates, is available on the app store, for Mac Book Pro and iPhone (I guess) and on the Google store (android??)

and it says 10.11 or better, which is El Capitan. Nothing about Catalina.....zero....

so, apart from seeing if there's a firmware update for your watch which you'd get by having Garmin Express and going through that, and of course, you need an account with Garmin, for whatever reason; there's not a lot else I can suggest.

You could try the good old reset smc/pmu and zap pram. and then connect your Fenix 6 watch to your MacBook pro and see

if anything has improved......probably not....

As for being a person who "knows how I can fix that problem" well.... not really. I did try, though....
