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 fully 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 possible, just suppress the whole interaction until there are no other in-progress activities. Thanks!

Tony Kunda (@the_kunda) reported@GarminFitness @Garmin Today was the first day that my daughter wore her Bounce watch and your backend had a massive outage, permanently shaking our confidence in her ability to use the device to get help in an emergency. Unacceptable. Will there be a post-mortem on the outage?

Chloé Marie WD (@ChloeWD38) reported@GarminUK @GarminFitness @Garmin hi, please can I speak to someone regarding a broken watch. Thank you 🙏🏻

Tom McQuain 🌮❤️ (@runtommcquain) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness got a question about my forerunner 245 music. The heart rate is set and is on, the VO2 max recording is on, and for the last 6 days it hasn't recorded any sleep. I just did the power off by holding the power in for 15 seconds and rebooted how to fix this?

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.

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

Uğur Karaman (@karamanugur1) reported@GarminFitness hello, my vivoactive 5 is having completely dark screen time to time for hours. I am disappointed that I am having this major problem. Battery is almost full. Any troubleshooting? Would you care to help as I am trying to reach you?

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.

Dave (@wanderingdave) reportedHelp @GarminFitness , make your own and don't you dare pay wall it.

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

murph (@BostonLooper) reportedApple Watch SE is officially in the trash - died ~60% of the way through a half marathon yesterday, @GarminFitness here I come
-
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.

Dave (@mad_hominem) reported@GarminFitness @Spotify having to suddenly spend 15 minutes reauthorising my music when I want to run on my lunch break is a seriously poor UX. Please sort this out.

Father Mo (28-22-3) (@1of6Pansfans) reported@GarminFitness fix your app
-
MrsKillJoy616 (@librarykat) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness Ever since I updated your app a few days ago, my notifications won't consistently send through to my watch. I've had to uninstall and reinstall your app multiple times a day to try to get this basic function to work. I've tried to connect with help over this, but that isn't really working either. I would just like a basic function of my watch to work.

Andrew MacDonald (@RevMacTO) reported@GarminFitness Hey, any insight you can shed on a Garmin Bike Radar (RTL500) kicking up a "Sensor Error 1:1" on my Edge? It happens a fair bit these days. TIA!
-
Mark Milligan (@MarkMilliganDPT) reported@KellerCaponePhD @GarminFitness Hey Cheryl! Great to hear from you! Oh good call. Will wear chest strap next time and see! Same tightness each time. Sweating does not seem to matter. I tried starting by wetting it to simulate sweat. I even take the watch off and see if it calibrates but that does not help

My Marathon Journey (@Marathons4Kids) reported@GustavoKayakero @Garmin @GarminFitness That might solve the problem
-
nothing Intentional (@kyabaatum) reported@GarminFitness I've a venu 2. While I understand the stairs concept, what I see is that it's somehow taking the gps or something else to consider that I climbed 20-30 stairs in a day when actually I'm riding my bike. Can you fix this issue?

Oscar Mike 🧗🏻♂️ (@Oscar_O_Neill) reportedAll this money for the ‘best smart watch on the market’ and it won’t even track sleep patterns properly. Garmin get you **** together and realise not everyone has a 9-5 job that allows you one window to sleep 🙄 @Garmin @GarminUK @GarminFitness
-
Nimish T (@t_nimish64935) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness genius product strategy. 1. Sell trainers with issues. 2. Have only one country wide service center, the user bears cost and risk to send bulky (25kg) courier. 3. Bluetooth drops off and it is termed as PCB/motherboard issue and cant be repaired. 1/n

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.

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.
-
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?
