Garmin Connect Issues Reports

-
Marty (@Marty_FTT) reported@amymitchellart @GarminFitness @scrippsresearch Vivosmart 5 had a known module-pop issue, the pill literally ejects from the band. Garmin should warranty it even out of window given the research use. If you want zero risk of repeat, Venu Sq 2 or Vivoactive 5 are sealed cases instead of the slide-in pod.

Lopez (@willa_daddy) reported@GarminFitness If I go for a slow jog on a hot day, and my HR goes up, Garmin drops my VO2 max number. If I go out when it’s cool the next day, suddenly I’m more fit and my VO2 goes up. And Garmin is never happy about my training status. You’re like an emotionally abusive partner.
-
KDaltonD 🇺🇦 (@kdaltond) reportedSo, @garmin / @GarminFitness I'm told by Product Support that a ride launched thru downloaded Movies in Tacx desktop app doesn't count for a challenge that ride is a part of. Can that be right? That's a clear design flaw. Please fix.
-
AaeJay (@AaeJay2008) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness 1. what's up with your poor customer service? How many times do I need to contact you for support. You told me my Forerunner 165 has a known battery issue and will exchange it out. I was promised next day shipping on the exchange. My watch has been with

Andre (@andreswart916) reported@GarminFitness Hi folks. Forerunner 255 software version 14.13 seems buggy. Data screen font sizes have shrunk. Please advise how to resolve this.
-
Margaret-Ann, PhD Scholar (@RealMargaretAnn) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness listen, I need y’all to fix this Forerunner HR firmware ASAP because I know I’m fit af (IRONMAN!) but there’s no way my HR was between 31-76 for a 1.5hr Zone 2 training run… it’s been weeks, PLEASE SAVE US FROM THIS HELL! I’M NOT UNPRODUCTIVE! 😭 #garmin
-
Giles P. Croft (@gpcroft) reportedGrrr, after years of syncing Routes effortlessly from Strava, my @Garmin Edge 530 will no longer receive new Courses, by any means: iOS app, Garmin Express, USB connection, Send to device via Connect on Web – *nothing* gets them on there! Help @GarminFitness!
-
Melanie J (@only_little) reported@LadySayFuckALot @Garmin @GarminFitness I would be interested to know if they reply. Worst customer “service” ever. Love my watch but hate that you can never ask them anything 😢
-
Deep General Research Institute (@DGR_Institute) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness I just bought and tested your new 2026 Garmin D2 Mach 2 Pro: I have used an Apple Watch Ultra One since release, as comparison (half the price of your watch): The build quality of your product is so hilariously bad that after one hour of testing, I decided to send it back and request a refund. Absolute China Trash. The display resolution and quality (yes I removed the display sticker lol) looks like from 2008 and the case makes noise like a kids toy. It’s heavy and bumpy too. Even the satellite emergency function, that you charge ten euros per month for, I get at Apple for free of charge. I will never buy anything from Garmin again. Worst company ever.
-
Bernard Kasparas (@Bkasparas) reported@FitbitSupport Why is your mobile app now so awful? Ver 4.52.1 running under Android 14, logs me out every night, loses the last 5000 steps and other activities of the previous day, won't store the first 3 ECG traces after logging in. Really poor. A living ad for @GarminFitness
-
Aaron Lassiter 🌵 (@aaron_lassiter) reported@GarminFitness Stop forcing the useless "estimated distance" for timed runs on us. That garbage does nothing positive and whatever project lead was in charge of it should have to publicly apologize for not building in an option to toggle it off.
-
Dave (@wanderingdave) reportedHelp @GarminFitness , make your own and don't you dare pay wall it.
-
userx (@voodooobear) reported@GarminFitness for gods sake get rid of MyFitnessPal or at least let me enter my consumed calories manually MyFitnessPal is complete garbage now and its not fair to force people to use a expensive bullshit app to get calories consumed/ burned
-
The Daily Build (@thedailybuild42) reportedDay 41: 🔋 Body Battery (@GarminFitness) at wake up: 82 💪 Workout: upper + lower 👟 Steps: 9,501 🥩 Protein: 156 🥃 Drinks: 6 📈 Build Take: When you cook meat and it sucks (too chewy), throw that **** in a stew. Keep building. 🔨

Father Mo (28-22-3) (@1of6Pansfans) reported@GarminFitness fix your app
-
Sissikiwi1 (@Sissikiwi1) reported@GarminFitness I have now had a Garmin Venu Sq for a year and it is the worst fitness tracker I have ever had. Now it won’t even pair with my new phone, and for pairing I had to remove it from the old phone. So no stats anywhere now. Never correct anyway LOL Garmin rubbish!
-
Andre (@andreswart916) reported@GarminFitness Hi Folks. Please help resolve. Forerunner 255 data screen font has shrunk on Version 14.13
-
E_A_L_II🇺🇲 (@E_A_L_II) reported@GarminFitness @JohnStraumann Garmin is trash. Nobody should invest in this company
-
Trashatarian (@Trashatarian) reportedAbsolutely do NOT buy a @GarminFitness watch. The charging system is AWFUL. I have a Venu 2S and I'm on my 3rd charging cable in 3 yrs cause the pins keep breaking off. The best they offer is 50% off their garbage charging cable. I'll never buy another until they fix this tech
-
Thefodfather (@thefodfather155) reported@GarminFitness Can you fix your shipping issues to help get the watch I ordered. Ninja shipped a whole food processor in 2 days and you can't get me a watch inside a week.
-
ForTheCubs (@forthecubs) reported@Enceladosaurus @GarminFitness Omg good timing~ thx for warning. I've been considering getting a device for the same purposes and that brand had been on the list 😵💫sure as **** isnt now though lmao🙌
-
Abhijeet (@IamAbhiMishra) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness . Throwing your watch away. Fed up with your idiotic proprietary charging port. Worst design which gets ***...ed every six months. Switching over to other watch. You lost a regular/loyal customer
-
Hariharan V S (@hariharan_cool) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness You guys have the worst quality products in India…used 4 garmin watches past 6 yrs and 4 of them got in US and absolutely working fine even now. One I got in india and has charging issues from the time I got it, today refuses to charge and switched off

BillyJoeRayJimBob Blue Check Mark 😜 (@BillyJoeRayJim1) reportedanyone else's @GarminFitness @garmin watch 6 minutes slow?
-
Chris Martin (@CMartin9496) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness My Garmin 945 will not connect to my home wi fi. Is this a known error? It worked fine until today. I”ve installed and attempted to reinstall several times on my watch and the Garmin connevt app and it will not work
-
Marc J. Randazza 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇷 (@marcorandazza) reported@Apple - my Apple Watch **** the bed and you’re gonna take a week to get it back to me? Guess that gives me a week to try out a @GarminFitness watch and see if I’m ready to swap ecosystems.
-
AC (@TheStroBro) reported@GarminFitness Fitness age is now 30, did two lifts this week so it had a marginal negative effect on the running due to soreness even though it was limited reps. It was still the first time I've done those movements under load since August. Sunday as a recovery day should help.
-
LuckyLinguini (@luckylinguini) reportedGarmin is by far the worst active smart watch you can buy. What ******** is this **** @GarminFitness @Garmin
-
Dale Johnson ✝️🇺🇸🦅⚜️ (@DaleJ_1031) reported@GarminFitness please fix the way Rucking is computed in Training Load. I did my hardest workout of the week and Connect barely registered it. I basically got penalized for the type of activity.
