Ratings and reviews

The new layout is a disaster. "In Focus" doesn't update properly; body battery on the page says one thing but if I click through it says another (the correct stats.) Same with step count. Sleep duration and quality stats will sometimes disappear when syncing between two devices and it used to work perfectly. I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars if they fix the bugs or roll back to the previous version that actually worked.

Just because you CAN change something, doesn't mean you SHOULD change it. Making data fields smaller, and in stupid tiles that require more tapping around to see what we want was definitely a choice. A terrible and stupid choice. This UI is actually worse now with no useful benefits to show for it. There was nothing wrong with the previous version. Change it back.

First of all, the latest Android update keeps disconnecting the watch everytime you use another Bluetooth device such as headphones. You have to go in and reconnect via the app every time. Secondly this latest update in connect is annoying. I want to be able to see the stats in initiated at a glance not all this tap tap tap stuff. Who did your user testing? Looks like someone tested their own homework and built what they wanted to do.

What's new

With the bug fixes and performance improvements in this version of Garmin Connect, tracking your health and fitness stats is easier than ever before.
