I'd love to have more interaction with the Garmin Connect App. So many features missing, in my opinion. And it seems such an easy upgrade to make massive improvements to the whole Garmin experience.
For example:
Goal setting - can only be done online, not through the App. This is outdated. Strava lets me set weekly and annual goals through premium. I can't even set a reoccurring goal through the online system.... come on! I want may watch to be a tool to keep me motivated. If I'm spending £300 plus (I have a fenix 3 considering upgrading to fenix 5+) on a watch I want to be able to interact with it more that the Garmin software currently allows.
Apple Rings: Is there a Garmin equalvent? This would contrubte towards the above and compete with Apple. If I had a simplistic system on the watch, like closing Apples rings, it would improve the interaction on a daily basis with the watch and improve the Garmin experience.
Challenges: Currently, I cannot use the Garmin Challenges as I don't use Garmin App as a social tool - all my friends are on Strava but not on Garmin Connect. So why can't I set my own challenges from within the Garmin App on IOS?
These are simple updates which would make a HUGE difference to the Garmin experience.
Take the learning from Apple Watch and Fitbit, both have great software interaction. If Garmin did this they would be head a shoulders above the competition and have me as a customer for a life time... if they don't improve the UX in the software, I'm afraid I may move over to Apple. Right now I don't want to but they are going to have to improve.
Come in Garmin!
