Ratings and reviews

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.

Explicitly rating low because of a recent UI update. The old UI worked very well and made it very easy to access data. The customizable UI did a good job at highlighting both daily and weekly fitness details on a single screen. The recent update seemingly intended for simplification, but instead it crippled the experience. No idea how a UX team and user testing would release this. Garmin, please see all your recent reviews, and restore the previous UI, or give users the option to switch.

Putting a One Star for now. Garmin made the switch on the landing page/home page and it was not an improvement. I've edited the page several times and I have just tied to "get used to it". What ended up happening is I just open the application less and the watch has become less appealing. Just my two cents: bring back that full at a glance page or some equivalent of that.

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.
