Alternative app to Garmin Connect

Hi!

I am a first time user of Garmin and currently own a Enduro 3. I love the watch itself but the app just isn't there.

As a long time user of Suunto I would love a app that's more like they have, and that's a app thats easy and gives exactly the information I need.

So my question is if anyone using another app instead of Garmin Connect?

    You can have a look at Strava, Runalyze, Training Peaks, etc, however they all pull the data from Garmin's servers over the API, which means you have to use Garmin Connect anyway. AFAIK, currently the only 3rd party app able to read the data directly form the watch (only over the USB cable though) is Golden Cheetah.

    honestly the Garmin app is decent. I have been using it for over 10 years and the latest version as as solid as any. There is pretty good integration to all the 3rd party stuff except got google health connect and that is coming literally any day. I have Garmin data in chronometer, Strava, training peaks, MFP, and a couple others. There are nuances to the platform so i find some workouts are best constructed using the Garmin app like strength or swimming. All the rest of my workouts I build in Training Peaks and routes for my bike I Build in Strava. I can sync all of it back to the watch or to my edge bicycle computer.
