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.
-
Battiatus (@_battiatus) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness after almost two years my Fenix 5S Plus became faulty and luckily it was still under warranty and I got a replacement. Now we're two years later and it's broken again and I need to spend $180 for another replacement. What should I do ? (1/2)

WhattheHUFF? (@Michael41381590) reported@GarminFitness Can you add rucking on the lower-end devices for us poor folks?
-
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

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
-
Stanfield Capital Management (@itstheotherway) reported@GarminFitness your **** is broken rn. direct upload from zwift not working. manual upload of .fit file not working.
-
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
-
AC (@TheStroBro) reported@GarminFitness Looking at Garmin Connect, there was probably some impact of adding strength training last week on my runs. But yesterday for recovery should help today. I added 52 minutes of stimulus on top of the previous 105 minutes of running, that's 49.5% of increase in some volume.
-
Trashatarian (@Trashatarian) reportedAbsolutely 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
-
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.
-
J (@J8099150426777) reported@GMHikaru @GarminFitness That is not even the worst of it, he is still making accusations against Danya
-
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
-
Renato Villanueva (@_renatov) reportedI need your help. I've been a loyal @WHOOP user. I've been with them for 5+ years. But... i'm sick of it not giving me my distance on runs, but i love that the battery last 15 days AND that i get ZERO notifications from it. People recommend @GarminFitness, but i really don't want a smart watch. Just the best fitness tracker. Any thoughts?
-
Will.Im.Not (@deanlooby2k10) reportedThe worst thing about @Apple Watch is when it’s pissing rain you can’t stop your run with the screen being so WET, I love @Strava I think @GarminFitness I’ll upgrade too!
-
Nathan Kraft (@Thousand__Paths) reported@GarminFitness Please go back to the full red Heart rate metric on the connect app. The line is WAY TOO HARD to see well, and it makes it more difficult to follow trends. Ever hear “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”? It wasn’t broken. Please put it back the way it was.
-
Ben (@TumoLPK) reported@GarminFitness @GarminUK I’ve got a HRM Dual that despite connecting to my watch will not read HR. I’ve replaced the battery, tried a different strap, and reset the HRM with no success. Seems to be really common issue online. How do I fix please?
-
KDaltonD 🇺🇦 (@kdaltond) reportedSo, @garmin / @GarminFitness I'm told by Product Support that a ride launched thru downloaded Movies in Tacx desktop app doesn't count for a challenge that ride is a part of. Can that be right? That's a clear design flaw. Please fix.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Marc J. Randazza 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇷 (@marcorandazza) reported@Apple - my Apple Watch **** the bed and you’re gonna take a week to get it back to me? Guess that gives me a week to try out a @GarminFitness watch and see if I’m ready to swap ecosystems.
-
Johann Philipp Steger (@steger_johann) reported@SixPointerGuy @Garmin @GarminFitness Same Problem with my 1040 Solar. Used to upload activities after pushing stop button.
-
Ken harrison (@Kenharrison99) reported@mikeoniron @GarminFitness garmin seems to be a problem, sleep without. Train better w! Apple Ultra and Polar H-10. My feel is more accurate than the garmin .
-
Bernard Kasparas (@Bkasparas) reported@FitbitSupport Why is your mobile app now so awful? Ver 4.52.1 running under Android 14, logs me out every night, loses the last 5000 steps and other activities of the previous day, won't store the first 3 ECG traces after logging in. Really poor. A living ad for @GarminFitness
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!?
-
murph (@BostonLooper) reportedApple Watch SE is officially in the trash - died ~60% of the way through a half marathon yesterday, @GarminFitness here I come
-
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
