Brian (@FreeNJ3434) reported@Roadman_Podcast No. BUT we should care about products that are absolute garbage like the new Garmin 820 Radar. It does not work on group rides. Both Garmin radars made before did. The wahoo radar does. How could Garmin put out such an inferior product. @GarminFitness

Brittany Busse, MD (@brittanybussemd) reported@jaybjackson @JasonFitz1 @GarminFitness I am not. I do help people find the right fueling routine for their physiology.

Brian Tafel (@briantafel) reportedHi @GarminFitness could you please fix the VO2 max / Apple Health integration that thousands of us serious runners have been asking for? It feels like hubris. I’m looking srsly at Apple Watch Ultra knowing my hard work shows up across health apps. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

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 😢

J. (Hrebinka) Shanahan 🇺🇦 🇸🇪 (@Enceladosaurus) reportedTbh I feel a bit misled by all of the articles claiming the @GarminFitness Forerunner 955 was the best fitness watch ever. I read SO many articles & did research before buying. To end up with something so poorly performing, slow, and buggy? Did we buy the same watch!?

Ben (@TumoLPK) reported@GarminUK @GarminFitness hi, my altimeter on my forerunner 255s has stopped working altogether for the past week. I’ve followed your tips online and it’s made no difference. Looks like a lot of people have experienced the same issue. How can I sort please?

Steph Strange (@Sstrange_2708) reported@GarminUK @GarminFitness, will you be looking at a buggy/stroller setting in activities? Having to put my watch in my pocket defeats the object of it and pushing one handed is not ideal off road. It's a real bug bear with myself and active friends #vivoactive3 #activeparents

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!

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.

Francisco (@francrubio) reportedFont size on @Garmin Instinct 2 glances is way too small and non-adj, making it nearly unreadable , especially those +40 or visual impairments. This is a clear accessibility issue for a premium watch. @GarminFitness, please add size cust/bring back single widget view! #Instinct2

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

Bean & Bean Cotton (@Bean_Cotton) reported@GarminFitness Is it possible to change the Connect calorie display back to the previous version? The new update now takes me directly to the worst version of MFP. I miss the simple display.

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

Pete (@frontieruk) reportedCancelled my @Strava subscription, will be sad not tracking with my @GarminFitness & @wahoofitness devices in the same place but **** childish practices because it’s twice in a year strava has thrown tantrums

Quin Bond (@njergonomics) reported@MarkMilliganDPT @GarminFitness The wrist sensor can definitely get a little buggy if the wrist strap is too tight or too loose. Also, if you move your wrist into certain positions like extension with a little deviation it can get a little funky. For any real exercise, the chest strap is the way to go.

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!

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.
