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!

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.

Harguneet Singh (@harguneet) reported@GarminFitness the update process is too complicated and broken for Garmin devices for sure.. pls help solve this mystery
-
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.
-
Sarah (@pixistik04) reported@GarminFitness To my knowledge, my account is not active under the email they have emailed. It was transferred to another email as when I login that is where I see my devices. Why am I getting emails to an old email?
-
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!?
-
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!

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?
-
Mark Milligan (@MarkMilliganDPT) reportedOk @GarminFitness users. Need some tech problem solving. Turn on Fenix 5. Start jogging, heart rate is not accurate. Stop mid run cause it is frustrating. Stop Garmin. Turn off and back on. Put on wrist, heart rate is accurate. Software is up to date. Please help! #running

CreativeGenii (@Creativegenieke) reportedCan you support me get my watch fixed @GarminFitness? I got a number for garmin Kenya. The 1st call was answered, the solution they gave didn’t work, they have since not answered calls or WhatsApp. My device keeps going off, battery shows 100%, I’ve rebooted, problem persists.

murph (@BostonLooper) reportedApple Watch SE is officially in the trash - died ~60% of the way through a half marathon yesterday, @GarminFitness here I come
-
Dostoevsky’s Girl (@saoirse_sikhu) reportedI 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 ???
-
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.
-
Abhijeet (@IamAbhiMishra) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness . Throwing your watch away. Fed up with your idiotic proprietary charging port. Worst design which gets ***...ed every six months. Switching over to other watch. You lost a regular/loyal customer
-
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

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 -

Jake Rampart (@JakeRampart) reportedCan @fitbit @FitbitSupport please help me understand why I have called your helpline over 15 times and my versa 4 still doesn’t work at all??? What a complete joke!!!! @GarminFitness here I come!
-
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?

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.
