Weight 1 year

Former Member over 5 years ago

Has anyone noticed that, when you click on 1 year for the weight stats, it no longer shows your monthly average? I use and Android app.

Yes, I also just noted that I cannot find the averages by month. I had sometimes wished to have more options on some reports but if there is only one grouping option here then monthly is far more useful to me than weekly. I wonder if anyone would prefer weekly for a hole year over monthly if there is only one option.

I also noticed my 1yr chart has artifacts, average data points that are off by 50lbs or so. This throws the scale off to account for the noise. I thought these were when my 8yr old was stepping on the scale, but if I zoom into smaller increments to the actual day the data points dont exist.

I verified that this 12month issue is only on the android app and not on the web application. I seem to recall this was different similar to this original post with the lack of monthly averages at the recent update. Kinda annoying.

Anyone else having these issues?

I don't, and I think your suspiction about your kid may be correct. The reason why you do not see it on Garmin Connect Web, is that the 12 Months report there shows monthly averages only, so any exceptions are smoothed out. You would need to run the hidden 6 months report, which shows each data point, to reveal those intrusive values. The hidden 6 months report can be turned on manually through HTML injection, or by using the GCOverrides.

You could also download the detailed weight data in JSON format, and you could even find the exact time when it happened, having do the evidence for punishing your son If interested, let me know, I can describe how to do it (and I do not mean the punishing, though I'd perhaps have some ideas about it too).

And the reason why you do not see it when you zoom on the day in GC Mobile, is similar - the weekly and daily values are averaged, so if you use to weight multiple times per day, and your son steps on the weight just once, then it just distorts the average, but otherwise remains invisible.

... and once you find the exact dates, when it happened, in GC Web, there is the possibility to delete the weight of the concerned day(s). You just need to note what the true weight was on that day (the other data entry of the same date), so that you can enter it back, after the deletion of the weight data of the day.
