Garmin Connect™

I was offered a beta test and fed back that it was not a good user experience. They changed it anyway. Now have constant issues with the app / watch not syncing. It says there is no data eg for sleep and if it does sync, takes much longer than before.

The most recent major update has made the app unreliable in connecting. I used to exercise, stop my watch and save, 1 minute later the activity in on the phone. No longer. Now I regularly have to go to the app, spot that it isn’t connecting. Kill the app, toggle the connection setting on the phone, wait and check things are connecting. Disappointed.

I used the old app for years- it was great. Now the new app- what a dog’s breakfast! You can’t see your stats at a glance- instead you have to go scrolling and hunting for them, and when you eventually get there, you need a microscope to read ‘em. Why on earth they changed it I don’t know. Garmin Product Support say there’s no going back and you can’t have the nice user friendly previous version.

I don’t normally leave reviews but this Garmin update left my blood boiling 😤 where is the information that I need? Where is the update/ refresh data button that syncs watch to phone? I can’t even get started to review heart rate, body battery etc without ‘tapping’ into things. Someone give Garmin the 1:3:5 second rule lesson when reviewing KPI data!

The app used to work ok, but now since the redesign it’s basically useless. Doesnt sync forerunner 945 training status, sleep, activity, vo2max, takes ages to sync what it can sync, works ok with edge 1080+ but still doesn't show yesterday, just junk now, i still wear the watch but the watch, but don't bother using the app, might get an apple watch instead.

The recent app update is awful. Loved my watch and using the app before this but it’s now making me consider switching to another smart watch. Such a shame as I raved about my watch to everyone!

The recent interface changes are truly awful and a major step backwards.

I loved the old App, very clear, quick and easy to use and view. I recently had to replace my Forerunner. All was great until two weeks in when the App was updated. It’s a terrible update, convoluted, looks horrible and it’s a faff to use. I regret buying another Forerunner now. Might try the Strava App, because I‘ve had enough of this one. What a disappointment.

Bring back old version or at least option to switch to old interface!

I absolutely hate the most recent update. Before I could easily view my steps and other information at a quick glance. With the update I have to search for this and it is ruining the experience of using Garmin. The old app wasn’t broken it was great why ruin it?
