New Garmin connect updated home page sucks

3264641 13 days ago

I cannot believe how bad the new Garmin connect home page is. Why remove the ease of viewing my day with one glance of the app?. Now have to scroll through the page to see all the info that was contained in my day section. On top of that, the user has no ability to bring back the old display or edit it to something similar. This new update is so annoying I suspect my next smart watch won't be a Garmin.

I completely agree. Is there a way to get the old layout back? The new one is so bad that I came here looking for a way to reverse the change. I have never visited this site before. Do they even do a pilot…

Do they even do a pilot to see what user reception is like? Who at Garmin thought this change was even acceptable? They should be looking for a new job!

I also agree completely. I absolutely hate the new homepage! The old one was perfect as it was.

I couldn’t agree more. I shared that kind of feedback when I turned on beta for the first time (I turned it off immediately after 10 minutes and shared my feedback). But apparently it looks like folks decided to launch it anyway.

there’s a bigger problem though. This new layout has marked all my activities MoveIQ (as if I weren’t registering them with my Garmin but well, I did :)

Garmin, please fix the problem with activities ASAP. It’s so annoying that I can’t see properly registered activities in the app.

I agree too. New Garmin home page sucks. I tried it as Beta and removed quickly hoping Garmin would understan new update 8s awful. Takes up too much space! Grrr!. I configured as well as it allows, but stilll see much less info than begore.

And "at a glance,: is a joke because you have to swipe for other infi/ events

Agree. The new garmin connect hime page is awful! Maybe created by people who don't use the features of the watch and prefer space consuming pictures and graphs!! At a glance is a joke ... you have to swipe to see other stats!

I tried it as Beta and switched back ... and now it is forced on us. Grrr
