Everyone talks about the watch, noone talks about the APP
Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!
Can you make a video connecting it to the my fitness pal app?
Liked the way you presented the app “Direct to the point” thank you for saving our time 👍🏻
How do you start a workout out of the app? (only with the heartrate strap but without wearing the watch).
Thanks for this! As someone said yes no one talks about the app!
Also im still confused if this is subscription based or not? Im totally new to the fitness watch thing. I want something one and done and no subscriptions.
Glad you liked this! There's no subscription required at all to use any of the Garmin Connect features that your watch supports.
I appreciate you going through this for me, this was the one part of my new watch that made the least sense.
You need to uodate this video immediately!!
Garmin just updated the app and it is horrible. I have been a Garmin Connect user for 6 years and loved it until April 19, 2024 when they rolled out the new version. Its a mess. Maybe Garmin will roll back to the old version.
Thanks for sharing! The new video is in the works actually.
Does Garmin 245 show swimming stroke TYPE ? If so where do I find it ?
I dont have the 3 cicle like yours, where tells your time, distance and calories...how to show it?
Way better than what the Apple Watch gives you for health. Apples health app is a mess. I’m waiting for the Garmin 965 to be in stock so I can switch from my AW series 4 that’s almost 5 years old.
How long does a full charge last on your AW?
BTW I just did a review of the Forerunner 265 that you might like.
Get the venu 3
I was surprised to see several options within your app that mine didn't have. I confirmed I've got the current version 4.65. For example in the Health Stats menu I'm missing sleep score, pulse ox, pulse ox acclimation, and health snapshot. Any ideas? In case it matters my watch is a Garmin 245
Justin, yes it depends on what kind of Garmin watch you're wearing. For example, AFAIK, Garmin 245 doesn't have health snapshot, right?
do these watches have issues with data vanishing from the app? I tried another cheaper watch (not a garmin) and one day all 4 months of data on the app was gone with no way of getting it back because they dont store it anywhere.
What a great app!!
How do you change the running activity interface? mine doesn't have the same design as yours with the data such as Time, Distance and Calories in circles.. (just curious)
The circles disappeared in the latest update. I would like them back also!
Helpfully 😊
Thanks!
No problem!
How do I use the website?
do you need to buy a subscription for garmin connect to get all the features?
Not at all.
Is there a way to edit the view displayed on the left?
I assume you're referring to the menu items, which is not customizable as of now, I'm afraid.
Can you do step count competitions against connections?
Yes, you can do it
I just want an overview of all my activities (walking, cycling, swimming etc) performed during a chosen time frame, like last 7 days, last 2 weeks etc. A stacked bar chart with total duration of each activity, per day, with a line chart above it for total minutes per day. Is this possible?
Bit late but strava might be better for that, it still gets your data from the garmin device
@@JeatBunkie Yep, I gave up and reactivated my Strava account. Have been syncing everything up to Strava, and leveraging the training log. Missed opportunity from Garmin!
Can someone tell me what it means on the calendar that u see the month you see the colors yes, and u see all u did by color code I got that but there is a plus sign and a number as well. What is the that? What does it mean? It changes every day. I can’t figure it out
On the calendar you can see up to a certain number of color-coded recorded data and if there are more that can fit there the plus number simply means plus that many more data and activities you have recorded that you can see by tapping each individual day.
Is that true that garmin has a motorcycle feature ?
Yes, Garmin Navigator Nuvi VI, designed for BMW Motorrad
Since Jan. 2023 phone battery drain caused by the Connect app (IOS) has suddenly become an issue. It has been reported to Garmin but they have no solution yet.
Sir i am coming tho India may watch not scan plzz admire me
I hid my calories stat by mistake how do I get it back
You have to make a new account lol it stays like that can’t undo 🫵😂
So I am using it like a pro since the beginning 😂
How do you disable the app to say out loud when you run 1km etc.....when the watch is connected to the phone it is annoying
Do you mean the voice on the watch itself? What's your watch?
@@RyansTechMedia no. If I wear the watch on its own. Every Km for runs or every 500m for swims etc....i get a beep on the watch. But when i have my phone with me, the phone literrally tells me Lap 1, and then the time of theat lap. I just cant find a way to disable that
Select Garmin Devices. Select your device. Select Activity Options > Audio Prompts. Select off
Can dark mode be turned off in the app?
Sure, from the menu go to the Settings, then Theme and select light.
@@RyansTechMediaThank you, I will be returning my Fitbit sense 2 and getting this one.
You have a new message:
"Hello this is your Garmin daily metric improvement recommendation:
Get your big a** off the couch"
I think this app has a lot of potential, but I find it somehow unnecessary hard to use. Way to many sub menus and so on.
The app should make it easier to customize watch faces and find the VO-max.
As a former Apple Watch user , I’m actuality kind of disappointed in this app.
I feel your pain. The problem is that Garmin provides a lot of raw data, while many other brands try to make their analytics more insightful and show only what matters. BTW there will be a new video about this soon.
Nothing about the the setting up of the map for a run or cycle. I guess you’re an indoor person so that’s not interesting to you.
