🇺🇸God Bless America (@CCPmustDie) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness have you realized there are so many exercise not listed in Connect when you're trying to create your own workouts there. Fix it by adding them! And your interface to create workouts sucks. Fix it! Don't just selling crazy expensive smart watches.

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!

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.
-
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.

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
-
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.
-
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.

Mark Dalman (@mdalman34) reported@GarminFitness my app is not updating any more from my Venu. Can someone contact me to help?

🇨🇦#THUNDER BAE🇨🇦 (@THEREELBROW) reportedIf @Google thinks by ruining @fitbit I'm gonna switch to a Google watch they can go #**** themselves. Hey @GarminFitness you'll see my money soon

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 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.
-
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.
-
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 😢
-
Amy Hainsworth (@amyhainsworth) reportedHeyo @GarminFitness is anyone working your support phone lines today? I’ve been on hold for 52 minutes for an issue with a Decent, much longer than the 13 minute estimate.
-
Harish Shinde (@hvs_1988) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness kindly change your testing teams who tests products. FR 745 is utterly disappointment for its name. It never syncs properly. Worst battery performance,even it wont stand 100km ride not sure how come its boasted as triathlete one.

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!

R. Red R. (@johnmayer689) reported@GarminFitness @Derico42799367 I will be taking my money elsewhere. You are a 💩 greedy, ***** company with worst software on this planet.

Florence Sharts (@shan_tahs) reported@GarminFitness your Twitter rep is refusing to help me bc they cant find my account despite giving the email, and your idiot on your customer service person kept asking me to access my my watch after being told 3 separate times I do not have it.
-
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.
-
Stanfield Capital Management (@itstheotherway) reported@GarminFitness your **** is broken rn. direct upload from zwift not working. manual upload of .fit file not working.
-
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. 🙏🏼🤞🏼
-
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.

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?
