Sunil Kumar (@sunilkumar8mile) reported@GarminFitness Thanks team for your response and the workaround. However now the issue got resolved and data is syncing into TrainingPeaks.

Vahid (@vahidlazio) reported@Stolen_Kishka @Garmin is that a garmin that security forces in Iran are using? Are they using your tactical watches to shoot at people? They are snipers. They shot many iranian peaceful protesters. Is your ballistic feature working in Iran?! Wtf @GarminFitness
-
Will C. Smith (@wcsmith40) reported@GarminFitness Thank you. It’s ironic when I complete an activity it uploads without an issue and somehow automatically connects. But 24 hours between workouts it was showing as not connected. I know this because I switched time zones. I believe this is a coding issue and not user issue.
-
Michail Sorotos (@Sorotos) reported@GarminFitness stopped synching workouts from @Technogym my run treadmill from the past 2 weeks anyone who can help? I tried already disconnecting and connecting the services 2 times.
-
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.
-
Hari Ganti (@FalxFour) reported@GarminFitness I think there's an issue syncing to @MyFitnessPal right now...

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.

Stanfield Capital Management (@itstheotherway) reported@GarminFitness your **** is broken rn. direct upload from zwift not working. manual upload of .fit file not working.
-
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
-
Marilu Carvallo (@MariluCarvallo) reported@GarminFitness I own two Scales S2, one home and other for my beach house, why I dont get all the information on my second scale? I find it absourd. Fix that please, both under my Garmin account.

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), get creative and throw that **** in a stew. Keep building. 🔨
-
Deep General Research Institute (@DGR_Institute) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness I just bought and tested your new Garmin D2 Mach 2 Pro: I have used an Apple Watch Ultra One since release, as comparison: 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. China Trash. Display (really bad black and contrast) and case quality (moves and makes noises, no working lunette) is a 4/10, in relation to 1700€ price tag a 2/10. On top: Your OS is so bloated, slow and you force users to install 5! different apps and still charge 10€ per month for satellite coverage (@Apple it is for free). Compared to my almost 4 years old Apple watch your watch feels and looks like a kids toy. I will wait for the Apple Watch Ultra 4 instead.

C (@samm1tchel) reported@GarminFitness why won’t my connect show intensity minutes anymore!?? I’ve tried to edit my day and remove and re-add intensity and nothing seems to fix this.
-
CreativeGenii (@Creativegenieke) reportedCan you support me get my watch fixed @GarminFitness? I got a number for garmin Kenya. The 1st call was answered, the solution they gave didn’t work, they have since not answered calls or WhatsApp. My device keeps going off, battery shows 100%, I’ve rebooted, problem persists.
-
Mark Milligan (@MarkMilliganDPT) reportedOk @GarminFitness users. Need some tech problem solving. Turn on Fenix 5. Start jogging, heart rate is not accurate. Stop mid run cause it is frustrating. Stop Garmin. Turn off and back on. Put on wrist, heart rate is accurate. Software is up to date. Please help! #running

Jeanette Smith (@jeanettemiami) reportedAnd on this day, @fitbit died. It was a slow death - first came the email, then came the #challenges & the last gasp of #groups. Then the pain as thousands upon thousands fled as fitbit died in ignominy, mourned by many & then simply forgotten as @apple & @GarminFitness rejoiced.

murph (@BostonLooper) reportedApple Watch SE is officially in the trash - died ~60% of the way through a half marathon yesterday, @GarminFitness here I come
-
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!
-
John Straumann (@JohnStraumann) reported@GarminFitness Thanks for the reply, I tried all that multiple times. I bet there is an error in the firmware and/or software that controls the BLE connectivity.

Renato Villanueva (@_renatov) reportedI need your help. I've been a loyal @WHOOP user. I've been with them for 5+ years. But... i'm sick of it not giving me my distance on runs, but i love that the battery last 15 days AND that i get ZERO notifications from it. People recommend @GarminFitness, but i really don't want a smart watch. Just the best fitness tracker. Any thoughts?
-
atlantaswelder (@atlantaswelder) reportedI really despise some commentary from some of these health metrics. @GarminFitness Nothing worse than someone/saying "i don't know if you're gunna make it" ... wtf Fu MF ;$:$4&:$;$/&7$:! F off 🤬 Just tell the me the data. That's all i require. I don't need your baseline

Omkar Pradhan (@Omkar_Pradhan7) reported@Garmin @Garmin_India @GarminFitness I always believed Garmin stood for reliability and quality. Sadly, my experience has been the complete opposite. I purchased an Instinct 3 (50mm) in May 2025. Within 5 months, it had a battery defect and was replaced (Sep 2025). Seven months later, in May 2026, the replacement unit started malfunctioning with pace tracking. I spent nearly a week without my watch while it was at the service center. Then, just a month later in June, the same replacement device developed a heart rate sensor issue. I’ve now been informed that this unit will also be replaced. That means I’ll be on my third device in just 14 months. I requested a simple exception: allow me to switch to a different Garmin model, and I’m happy to pay the price difference. This request has been declined. Can someone explain why? As a customer, I’ve repeatedly faced training disruptions because of defective hardware. Every issue has been verified by your own service team. At what point does customer experience become important enough to justify an exception? I’m not asking for a free upgrade. I’m only asking for a chance to move away from a model that has repeatedly failed me, while paying the difference myself. I expected better from a brand known for building products athletes can depend on.

Rob Scherer (@RobScherer6) reportedOne problem I see right away with the @Garmin @GarminFitness HRM 600 is the connection between the strap and the pod, which you have to separate in order to charge the device...this pod is breaking at some point. What are my options when it does?
-
acdaisy (@acdaisy_) reported@GarminFitness @Garmin I have a newer (June 25) device that the heart rate tracking does not consistently work. I reach out to support and I get the run around each time and still have a device that doesn't consistently work. Is there anyone that can help?
-
LuckyLinguini (@luckylinguini) reportedGarmin is by far the worst active smart watch you can buy. What ******** is this **** @GarminFitness @Garmin
-
Froglet 🐸 (@froglet80) reported@amymitchellart @GarminFitness @scrippsresearch i put a couple drops of superglue on where it snaps into the band when that **** happened to me (luckily in my cabin, i'd never have found it otherwise) lol also there are FAR BETTER styles of bands for long term wear on amazon. i don't even use it anymore, if anyone in our community needs one HMU, just pay shipping and if you want to donate extra thats cool

Sarah (@pixistik04) reported@GarminFitness To my knowledge, my account is not active under the email they have emailed. It was transferred to another email as when I login that is where I see my devices. Why am I getting emails to an old email?
