Layout and overall experience has significantly improved. I've been a garmin user for well over 10 years

Great app, easy to use and syncs perfectly every time. You can add gear to your activity's like the trainers you use or the bike that you use, and you can add pictures also.
★★★★☆Phil Metcalfe· Aug 20, 2026
I've had Garmin Connect for about 7 years now, and mostly it's been excellent. The new version I used with my Fenix 7S still is, but the expanded Sleep Score part is little better than nonsense. A generalization bearing little resemblance to how I actually sleep, or feel the next day. Apparently I have been constantly tired, lacking creativity, and irritable for years! My other criticism is that recorded exercise transfers fine to Strata, but manually entered ones don't.
★★★★★Brendan Cooney· Aug 24, 2026
So far so good, a lot to learn, the menu and drill down is a bit confusing, with a lot of overlap, but, it is impressive in what you can get from this watch and the battery life is very good.
★★☆☆☆Jessica Dufour· Aug 20, 2026
At first things were great, but I've only had the Garmin Forerunner 55 for less than a year, and now I'm having pairing issues. The app will record steps and HR but won't collect sleep. I've hard reset the watch, I've uninstalled, I've rebooted.... can't even get my watch to pair with the app now. Unacceptable for how much these watches cost.

I upgraded my phone, and now I cannot connect my device, what is worse I can set the time. it's a vivomove s3

App fails to run since last update. Gets stuck on intro screen. Only way to get in is to force quit and restart the app or power cycle the phone.
