Put a workout on your watch
Three steps, no Garmin Connect required. You’ll need the watch, its charging cable, and the .FIT file you downloaded from the builder.
Get it on the watch
Plug the watch in via USB
Use the charging cable. macOS can’t browse the watch on its own, and Garmin Express won’t show you the files — install OpenMTP (free, open source) and the watch appears there.

Open the GARMIN/Workouts folder
In OpenMTP, open the GARMIN folder, then Workouts. On some devices the folder is GARMIN/NewFiles — if you don’t see Workouts, use that instead.

Copy the .fit file in and unplug
Drag the downloaded file into the folder, then disconnect and unplug. On the watch, find it under Training › Workouts in the Strength activity.
