Add the field to your activity
Your activity (e.g. Trail Run) › Settings › Data Screens › a field › Connect IQ Fields › Kliva Race Plan
It’s a data field, not an app: it won’t show in your apps list.
Not in the list? Force a sync in Garmin Connect, then fully close and reopen the Garmin Connect app.
- Watch
Turn on alerts on every screen
Your activity › Settings › Alerts › Add New › Connect IQ Data Fields › Kliva Race Plan › Yes
Without it, the watch still buzzes, but the alert card only shows on the Kliva screen.
You’re set.
In My race plans, tap Activate on your race’s plan. Keep the phone near the watch: the first sync takes a few minutes, then everything works offline, alerts included.
Something not working?
- Stuck on “Open phone to sync”? Turn the phone’s Bluetooth off and on, fully close and reopen Garmin Connect, and keep the phone next to the watch.
- The plan won’t sync. Check the pairing code matches exactly, and give the first sync a few minutes.
- Still nothing? Fully close the Garmin Connect app, reopen it, and wait a few minutes.
