Reconnect glitch

How many times do I need to ‘remove’ and reconnect my watch? This is getting frustrating.

Garbage!

Keeps disconnecting! Have to re pair for no reason! All overnight data lost on ISM! From bad to worse!

Moving from apple

App is great. Took a good while to get used to as i came from my apple watch but has so many features and easy to navigate.

Garmin app

The app is stupid and it’s impossible to sign in.

Poor and outdated

Too much but not enough. Trying to navigate around this app is impossible. Needs modernising.

Great for running and cycling , but disappointing for weight training

Great for tracking cardio and the smart bike trainer features are great, but the Strength app still feels neglected. Entering or editing reps and weights on the watch is slow and cumbersome compared with using a phone. Even more frustrating, Garmin doesn’t allow third-party strength apps to write detailed set data (exercises, reps and weights) back to Garmin Connect. This forces users to choose between Garmin’s awkward strength logging or a better third-party experience that can’t fully integrate with Garmin history. Garmin has an excellent fitness ecosystem—it’s time strength training received the same attention.

Best

The best app for bikers

Все просто отлично!

Пожалуйста, добавьте приложение на макбук, хорошая информативность даст больше удовольствия от показателей. Благодарю!

Poor connection

I have to delete the app and reinstall often. It’s connected to my Fenix 8 but just won’t register

Functionality

Not as good as on android. Please make it to where we can disable notifications per app!

Doesn’t sync

Have to restart the phone to sync to the watch every time. Waste of money, this watch

Update

Watch no longer keeps time, have recharge everyday, and won’t connect anymore
Fenix 6

Latest update

Vivosmart 4 and 5 now suddenly radically underestimate distance compared with a map and my step count x stride length. Maybe since recent update? Was fine Thursday 21 but Fri 22 May and today Sat 23 reporting 1 mile approx as 0.6 of a mile. Is it missing steps? Or mismeasuring them? I haven't changed stride length since Thursday The error occurs on 95% of walks, to varying degrees.

And across different watches. Reactivated a Vivosmart 5 that I didn't like as much because so fed up with this problem. And its exactly the same! Google AI tells me it's because of a software update across the whole Garmin suite. Well, it sucks!

The GPS just doesn't work well where I live in London so that's not a realistic option. Very disappointed because have been using these watches for nearly 10 years and now it's broken. I won't be buying another Garmin.

Garbage

Really bad design. Wind never updates properly on the weather part, and it's pretty important for a boater. Has many other issues. Compass is trash. So i often wonder of the time is correct. Haha. Or date, or really anything. Seems like more of a liability

Low quality of device

I expected much better quality from Garmin. After just over two years of moderate use, the battery on my watch started failing and it now shuts down while still showing around 58% battery. As a result, I can no longer reliably track my activities because the watch turns off after about an hour of walking. So this application is useless without a device. That’s not what I expect from a premium product. Unfortunately, Garmin’s response was disappointing, and because of this experience I won’t be buying Garmin products again.

Workouts not sync

It’s so annoying my watch is not syncing with my app and I don’t know how to fix it! I’ve seen a lot of people with this same problem

Does not pull data from strava

Greedy company that does not pull data from strava.
Does Garmin think by not uploading strava data will increase their sales?
It only causes a bad user experience.

Janky Bluetooth

Basically impossible to pair your watch when you get a new phone.

Doesn’t work

Lately this app just doesn’t work. I’ve deleted and redownloaded, reset, etc. It won’t sync with my watch. Other apps my watch is connected to don’t have this issue. My partner is having the same issue.

Update messed up

Can’t connect to phone after update. Really unprofessional to not have a fix yet. Clearly can’t use the watch to track or check anything .
