Keeps disconnecting

The watch keeps disconnecting and I need to restart the phone and the watch . Garmin is not a choice anymore as the watch isn’t great either. The customer service is way below average too.

Worn down

After 20 years with Garmin I’ve finally given up. I’m tired needing to spend almost $1000 on watches that have so many launch bugs and software glitches; tired with support that can takes weeks (if ever) to resolve; tired of an app that seems like it was designed in the 1980s; tired of Garmin buying every competitor in sight and closing down connectivity to rival platforms; tired of the flakiness of the connectivity issues; tired of the truly awful value for money in the subscription packages. It’s time for me to get out of what looks increasingly like a plan to build a closed ecosystem. This might be ok except as far as I can tell Garmin is a hardware company not a software company. The new Ultra 4 is not a Fenix 8 or 9 peer, but it’s finally just about good enough. And $800 now for a bike computer? Au revoir.

3 Years of Excellent Data

I started using the Garmin app when I had a running coach. I no longer have a coach but do still use the app. It’s amazing how useful the data is. And it’s great for tracking runs around the world. Easy to use and very helpful.

Basic interface but does the job

Interface needs an update like what whoop and bevel has done for its users to track sleep, recovery and strain

Great

My partner bought me the Garmin watch as an Xmas present for my impending 10K run. I love it and the app. Monitors sleep, heart rate, stress (seems work is stressful, who’d have thought). Great device!!
