    I really think there’s something wrong with this watch. How does my HR go down from 110bpm to 80bpm during/after 10 minutes of running??? 2 weeks ago it went as far down as 60 and I was dripping sweat from running. Explain that @GarminFitness ???

    @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.

    @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.

    @GarminFitness Hello. I have problems with GARMIN Connect when synchronizing. I get a message: "There was an error synchronizing with G.Connect". I do it from a PC in Spain. Can you Help me? I have used it for years with no problems

    @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.

    Absolutely do NOT buy a @GarminFitness watch. The charging system is AWFUL. I have a Venu 2S and I'm on my 3rd charging cable in 3 yrs cause the pins keep breaking off. The best they offer is 50% off their garbage charging cable. I'll never buy another until they fix this tech

    @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?

    @Kharrii1 @GarminFitness I did several times in the first couple years running. They suck! I’d slow the pace way off, foam roll and wear compression sleeves but work through them. Now I don’t worry about them, it’s more just making sure form isn’t slacking or getting enough recovery in.

    @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.

    @Jefffeldman I’m not sure tbh but what I do know is that all the marketing around wearables and “recovery” products is largely based on making people feel good (or bad @GarminFitness) and making them think they need to “recover” from something nebulous - which has then led to this proliferation of “recovery” protocols 🙄

    @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?
