Garmin Connect‪™‬ 4+

The data you can mine out of this thing is great, but one thing continually frustrates me. A while back they added a “Training Effect” tracker to the “My Day” page. If you remove/hide it, within a few days it reappears. That wouldn’t be so bad, but when it does it completely resets all the other items in “My Day”. Sorry, but when I’m using this on my elliptical, I want to see heart rate, intensity minutes, steps, and calories altogether, and I find it endlessly frustrating that I have to keep re-editing “My Day” to do what I want.

Please fix the app. I understand you’re very proud of your training effect dodad, but I’m not interested. Stop forcing it on me *and* messing up all my other settings in the process.

(And yes, I logged this on their support webpage within a few weeks of them breaking this, but no response.)

Loving the app and LOVE my Venu 2s!! I had an idea that I hope someone will see 🤞we collect so much data about our health using fitness trackers and one particular function sparked an idea- the women’s health tracker. This could be enhanced by allowing a customisable reminders function for when we need to change or purchase our next contraception. I.e ‘implanon due to be removed soon book a doctors appointment’, or a reoccurring reminder for ‘your birth control script is due for renewal this week’.

Not only that but I love the symptoms tracker that is already available in women’s health and think this could be adapted to suit all genders for overall health. If you could customise the name of the symptoms and the name of the health concern we could track long term concerns such as anxiety and depression, pain to determine if an injury is getting worse or better, eating disorders, all kinds of things! If you pair this with customisable reminders also you could remind people to pick up medications, have Pap smears and breast screenings, and follow up appointments that would help people be more on top of their health. Please consider 💛🧡❤️

I got given this for Christmas 2018, by June it had stopped recording my sleep telling me I wasn’t wearing it at night, which I was. It also stopped auto updating to the app so I have to now manually sync it every time I want to down load. It then began to “forget” everything I’d sync’d with it. I contacted Garmin who said nothing g about the lack of sleep recording but did tell to delete the app and reinstall as it wasn’t connecting with the servers. I did this it worked in so far as remembering data but it has never auto sync’d again, I still do it manually which now it’s causing the battery to run out quicker and it loses time which only restores to current time when I sync it. It started recording sleep again for a couple of months but as of last week it’s no longer recording sleep again and it’s not remembering any of the the data I sync. I did a sync just now and there’s no step, sleep or calorie history data. I really don’t want to have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling my app every few months. Annoying there’s no feedback on why it’s no longer recording sleep data even though I’m wearing it at night.
