Stop Automatic Upload of Weight Metrics From Watch
I upload workouts from my Timex Global Trainer. A few weeks ago, I noticed the same weight metric started appearing in TP each day, which I did not enter. I have since learned that as a result of the last firmware or device agent update, the Global Trainer now sends a weight measurement with the device file data at upload. The automatically uploaded weight measurement is drawn from user settings in the watch. Thus, every uploaded weight measurement is the same; it is not based on the user’s actual weight from that day. This creates a problem in TP when the user looks at the dashboard. The automatically uploaded weight is the one that appears in the metrics pod. Users are now forced to hassle with deleting the auto weight every day if the metric pod is to show meaningful information. I think the auto upload of the weight metric from the watch is pointless and irritating. The auto upload should be stopped.
Unfortunately, Timex dictated that this feature work in this manner. Thanks for the suggestion though. Please note that you can delete the Metric from the Calendar, or edit the weight once it is there.

Tell Timex I just got the Garmin 910xt. It doesn't have that annoying feature.
