Garmin Connect Mobile Ideas and Suggestions

Yes, weeks start on Monday in this case. Also described in the document Changing Account Preferences in Garmin Connect 

• Please note that the First Day of the Week setting only applies to your calendar and related features. This setting will not change the calculation of Intensity Minutes, Weekly Steps Challenge start dates, or how data is displayed in reports; this data will display a start day of Monday.

Thanks for the help.  Got it.  But maybe I'll return to my fitbit, which takes my choices into account.

I've personally used both and have to say I find Fitbit to be awful.  The app is terrible, sync issues, pairing issues.   For years they had issues with watches only being compatible with specific big name brands of phones.  I've had issues with multiple Fitbit devices over the years.  And Never had issues with any of my Garmin devices.  

I bought my kid an inspire 2 (because it was cheap and she has a tendency to lose things) and was very disappointed that we can't decide what to display on the watch face and what to hide.  So she has to scroll through 5 screens to get to the  couple screens she actually cares about.   This is basic stuff, even for a lower tier watch.  But Fitbit disables customization on cheaper watches to 'encourage' you to buy the more expensive models.  Feels sleezy to me, to deliberately make the user experience worse.

I find Garmin has better interface, data tracking, community challenges,  and a better product at a similar price point with more features.

Also, Garmin has weekly challenges against other users, friends, etc. that you can join.  How would that work when users weeks start on different days?  Everyone needs to be on the same calendar for community challenges to be fair.

Fitbit has worked great for me and my wife. The one problem I had with a device resulted in an immediate replacement.  No questions asked.

I see no reason to call Fitbit sleazy, based on my experience. The device always synced for me and I have an older LG phone.  I was able to decide what I wanted on the face of the device.  The weekly Fitbit progress reports are great, yet I see nothing similar for Garmin.

I switched to Garmin, when family members bought it for Father's Day, so want to give it a fair shake. 

That said, I don't participate in challenges and don't see why I have to be forced down a path I don't want nor need in terms of selecting parameters for monitoring my progress.  Additionally, more needs to be done for easier tracking of weekly progress on all parameters.

But alas, it seems we will probably have to agree to disagree.

I would love to have an activity named mountain bike.

Or can I rename an activity in the list like other

You did not tell which watch you own, but practically all recent watches have a mountain bike activity included. It is called MTB. If you have a model without it, then of course you can copy the basic Cycling activity and rename it.

The option to change daily resting calories would be wonderful: I have a more accurate picture after testing, and Garmin is way off, so I have to update it in my mind constantly. 

Please allow the user to select a separate default running shoe for trail runs. For people who run both road and trails it’s a royal pain to constantly change gear for the run type. There is already a separate gear default for hikes so it is doable. Just please do it. 

I've been waiting for this activity to be added for ages. I'm suprised with all the other military things they've added over the years that rucking never came to mind.
