Chris Manc (@ChrisManc9) reported@GarminFitness I'm shocked and annoyed that Garmin is trashing up the app that syncs with my venue 2s. I have to scroll down or x it out to see my data. Grrrr. It is getting old but I won't be replacing it with another Garmin device.

Oceanman (@Kaidansei) reportedI do most of my work indoors and on treadmills, peloton, fan bikes, or in the pool. Apparently the watch isn't good with those exercises and needs outdoor runs. Ok, fine, but it shouldn't do calculations then or display results if that data isn't available. Or fix it to use other pertinent information like Grok, Claude, Gemini and others do! @grok does this mesh with other users of the device? Is there anything @apple can do to fix it? Do devices like @GarminFitness have this issue?

Brahma N (@brahma_n) reported1/n This is my 15th year with @GarminFitness watches and they still can’t get software right. Their watches are twice the price of apple watches but their software can’t get basics right. @Garmin coach workouts don’t sync with the watch, an issue reported on Reddit and Garmin forums for years. There are hundreds of threads -

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.

Will.Im.Not (@deanlooby2k10) reportedThe worst thing about @Apple Watch is when it’s pissing rain you can’t stop your run with the screen being so WET, I love @Strava I think @GarminFitness I’ll upgrade too!

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

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.

CT (@CarlJTaylor23) reported@GarminUK @GarminFitness - disappointed that my Forerunner 965 has broken after less than 3 years and the option is to buy a refurbished device at a price of £155. I expect a £600 watch to last longer than it has, especially as it’s not worn all day / everyday.

Andre (@andreswart916) reported@GarminFitness Hi Folks. Please help resolve. Forerunner 255 data screen font has shrunk on Version 14.13
-
Bean & Bean Cotton (@Bean_Cotton) reported@GarminFitness Done. As a rule, an update that takes away a simple, easy to use feature and requires you to go to another app is a poor update.

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.

Josh Lane (@joshlane34) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness A UX recommendation for your watches. If I forget to save my sleep activity in the morning before heading out on my run, my watch spends my whole run asking me if I want to save my sleep activity or dismiss the notification. It takes over my running display so none of my running data is readable. If I dismiss the notification, it takes me back to my normal watch face and I need to click multiple times to get back into my activity. And, within a minute or two the notification comes back anyway and the cycle repeats. If I click save, it almost always takes longer than my run to actually save the activity. My screen is frozen with "Saving" and the circling green indicator around the edges. I am unable to see my running data panels. I'm unable to pause a run, hit a lap timer, anything. It's just stuck on Saving. Today, it gave me "Saving" for the last 3 miles of my run, for the 10 minutes I spent cooling down and drinking water, and now still for the time it's taken me to write this suggestion. Basically, if I forget to save my sleep activity, and ensure that I've full dismissed the sleep activity, before my run then my watch is unusable. I assume these are both bugs. If so, please add them to your list to fix if they're not already there. If they're not bugs and they're intended workflow, I have a few suggestions. 1. Dismissing the notification should dismiss it until after the current in-progress activity ends. 2. Dismissing the notification should take you back to the current in-progress activity. 3. Click "Save Activity" shouldn't cause the watch to lock up for an excessive amount of time. It should either save in the background if it takes a while, or save faster. Or, if neither of those is possible, it shouldn't be an option at all until after the current activity ends. 4. Prompt to save the previous unsaved activity once, before the new activity starts. 5. If none of the above are impossible, just suppress the whole interaction until there are no other in-progress activities. Thanks!

Sudhanshu Sehgal (@sudhanshu1011) reportedMy POV regarding this. I started running in June of 2020 and ran with a Casio watch till November of 2024. Then planned to buy a watch and was confused b/w Coros & Garmin. I went for Coros Pace Pro and it was the latest watch from their side at that time because it got released a month before. Pace Pro hasn't still been launched in India and I had to get it from US. Battery of Pace Pro is quite good. First hand experience of this from my side- I ran a 24 Hour Stadium Run in March of 2025 where I covered 175 KM in a span of 24 hours. The battery of the watch at the start of the race was 98 or 99% battery. After 24 hours, 50% battery was still remaining which I can bet none of the entry level watches from Garmin could do. Another recent experience of one of my friends who is a Coros user. His Pace-3 button stooped working & it had been 18 months since the point of buy. He raised the ticket for this concern and it got exchanged and this happened in India where Coros even doesn't have a single offline outlet I guess & it's presence is quite limited. If it would have been Garmin, it wouldn't have been replaced because Garmin comes with 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty whereas Coros comes with 2-year limited warranty starting from the original activation date. This is a pretty big difference. This is not a biased post regarding Coros because I am a Coros user but this is just my perspective and still I stand that entry level Coros watches are way more good especially in the context of battery. Recently one of my friends bought Garmin 265 Music & he himself says that it's battery is not that good. If you want to buy Garmin, buy it. It is good but the point is what is your purpose behind buying either a Garmin or a Coros. Entry level Coros watches battery are way more longer than the entry level watches of Garmin. @COROSGlobal @Garmin @GarminFitness
