I love Garmin. The sleep and the activities programs are great, and I can even upload music and audiobooks for the runs. It has everything except fries function :D

Works with garmin wearables. And with the website. And with that is one of the best. Many options are not available in the app. Like Notes/goals (?!) ...wish that "today's activity" didn't show tomorrow's workouts/events! Thanks.

Overall really like this app and the training plans! Have used them for 1 half-marathon and am I training for another. Something I and others I've talked to have an issue with is adding a custom exercise to our bioactive 4s. Despite trying everything we can online, I cannot find a way to do this. I can manually edit 1 activity after it's complete, but cannot add a custom type of activity - and the list I have is very limited. Help would be greatly appreciated

Recent update has removed core functionality: I can no longer see my latest activity on the home page; I can't edit an activity to trim times; I can't add my used gear to an activity. The UX around some of these was always clunky, but now I'm left wondering if the removal of features is linked to the introduction of subscriptions. That's my cynical thinking. Hopefully the features return in an update soon, otherwise this will be my last Garmin device.

Garmin's ecosystem has been quite frustrating to use. Heart rate tracking lacks accuracy compared to OnePlus Watch, and sleep monitoring is equally unreliable. It also fails to automatically detect and record cycling activities. The app and interface are unintuitive, overly complicated, and feature inconsistent button layouts. Worst of all, requiring a computer connection instead of a simple wireless update via the app feels completely outdated. Definitely expected a much more polished experience

I want to be able to schedule an alarm for my watch from my phone like Samsung does. That's more efficient than dealing with the watch buttons, although it's nice to be able to if I need.

Worst sleep tracker I've ever experienced. Why did they make such poor software decisions?? I slept 4H, had insomnia, then slept another 4. App says I slept 4H. But you can't add a "nap" for more than 3H, and I can't even look at things like heart rate to estimate sleep times because it doesn't show enough detail. So my sleep charts are just completely different from reality. Go with literally any other device for sleep tracking.
