New Marvel badges parity please for existing Garmin users.

New badges for Marvel watches are all repeatable and easy , this ruins the acheivement factor for those already collecting badges and striving for the harder ones,  can we have parity for those already owning a non marvel Garmin device. Same challenges for non marvel devices or remove repeatability factor I'm not going to buy a new watch for a badge but excluded if I don't ? Already have edge1000 and va3 don't need a new device atm. 

Big fan of new badges a great incentive to push on for me and would like more without the new device barrier.

    Bump.  I agree with the preceding comments. If you want to have fun badges fine, but having them repeatable, easy, and of high value is not a fair system.

    I'd also like to see a few more new badges that are achievable be added from time to time. I do like the limited-time monthly badges, but many of the badges are so extreme.  Keep adding novel badges, thanks.

    Anyway, please fix the Marvel & specialty badge system!

    Someone should make a cheap avenger spoof watch usable with connect. I'll buy it. I believe it is fair game now.

    To be fair (with my tongue in my cheek) that's the only way they can entice adults to buy kids' watches. And 7 year old kids who can afford these expensive watches likely won't be able run 90 minutes for an activity non-stop nor would they do 3 yoga activities in a week. So, in a sense, it is hard for them to achieve these repeatable badges too. Adults who perceive a lot of value into levels and have a thick wallet can, however, buy these watches to get the points then upon reaching level 5, gift the watch to their 7 year olds for their birthday. Or sell it on ebay for cheap

    Yeah, I'm happy enough that they add new week/month event badges. That keeps it interesting.  I'm likely never going to do 300,000 steps in a month but doing a 5km run is possibly.

    I'm over my issue with the Marvel/Star Wars watches.  As you say, different demographic to me anyway.

    300,000 steps is quite doable imo, it is 10,000 steps a day. I achieved it a few days ago. The 100 miles badge is not achievable for me. And I haven't even done the marathon badge. Those are incredibly hard because I am not a runner. But 10,000 steps a day is still possible for a regular human in my opinion.

    LOL, not saying it's not achievable, just that I'm not going to be the one who walks that much every day.  

    It's important to have a mix of achievable targets for everybody.  Throw in some hard ones too.
