    I want to suggest more badges.

    Like 1 time, 10, 100, 1000 times using indoor rowing maschine. Same for other indoor machines like stepping or eliptical. 

    Badges for more seasons like easter, hanukaah, chineese new year. 

    Badges for seasons like - 100km run in summer, Winther, Spring and Fall. 

    Make challenges with friends, that is based on current fitness level - like one runner run 10km a week maked a challenge on running against a runner who run 50km a week. Then make a challenge on who first reaches average of the last 4weeks plus 5km. 

    Then i would like a Training plan that includes different types of aktivity. Like a start to run 5k og 10k where the plan not only is running. But you can choose run, swim, row, yoga and eliptical. And Then the program switches between different activitys to g’et to the goal. (But you have to be abel to Pick avalabel equipment - and depending on that make a program)

    I have several Garmin watches. Could you add an option for automatic default tracker for example depending which watch is sending heart rate? This would work for me.. And i also have HRM pro, so if that is only active device, then such devices too. Thanks.

    Would be great with the ability to customize the list of activities adding what ever activity that is not in the default (quite extensive) list.

    Thanks!

  • Allow the use of connect iq data fields in the photo with stats sharing functionality in garmin connect! I jump rope and use a data field from connect iq store to store my jumps. It would be nice to show this data field in the photo with stats sharing functionality.

  • Yes, I do agree, even more because data are available ... so that should be easy!

    This is the same for the weigh analysis ...

    Coming from Fitbit, I do prefer Garmin for the quality of the watch ... but for me there is missing data in the application (on analyse / fitness / etc.) and this is difficult to understand why my husband with a fenix5 have data on the time to respect between exercice, etc.   and not me on my vivoactive4 ...

    Dear developers, I'm sure you can do more!

  • Could you please create a simple activity called tethered swim. This activity could record all things that a pool swim does but it does not need the push off to record the lengths. The user could select say thirty strokes equals 25 meters and the distance would calculate this way. I think this is very similar to the existing pool swim in terms of coding so should not take too long, but would be very useful especially in lock down. Last year I spent ages in my con's paddling pool but had to try and do a push off every 25 seconds to record a length and hence the distance or I was swimming for 45 minutes and got no where. This is better than recording a manual swim which would not have the dynamics from my Fenix 6.

    Thanks.

    You can as well use the Open Water Swim activity profile for that purpose, turning off the GPS option in its settings.

  • Will that log distance?  I want 25m every 25 strokes.
