Intensity Minutes Graph no longer shows weekly progress

I just updated to the most recent version of Garmin Connect 4.41 and I noticed that the intensity minutes weekly graph is no longer available. It only shows my daily figure and no more weekly progress. Is this fixable?

  • It appears to be a complete mess at the moment, it’s not recording accurately, for example, I did over 500 min on Monday, it was a rest day for me, I’m now nearly 200% above what my week should be with three days left. 

  • Check your settings under the device, Activity Tracking, Weekly Intensity Minutes and and check to see if ”HR Zones” is on or off.  Mine was off meaning it was using my RHR instead of HR zones to gather my intensity minutes and so I’ve had a really hard time getting enough each week.  If you turn HR Zones on then you can select which zone is moderate and which zone is vigorous intensity.  It sounds like you need to change your moderate zone from 2 to 3 and your vigorous from 3 to 4.  The default when you turn this on is zone 2 is moderate and zone 3 is vigorous.

    I’d also check the zone settings themselves under device, User Settings, Heart Rate Zones and see if they’re automatically set to 50-100% based on Max Heart Rate.

  • Hi all! Thank you for your patience. Could you please update your Garmin App, there has been an update and some redesigning. 

  • Really dont want to be negative but this still looks like a fix for something that wasn't broken to me. I get that it has been thought helpful that a line graph building towards a weekly goal is a good thing, but the bar chart approach was far more useful and visually appealing too, it clearly shows what you've done each day, shows how the days have comapres so you can relate that to the type of activity you did and yet still shows how you're doing against a weekly goal. I'd love to hear the developer's rationale for intensity minutes 2.0 and why it is an improvement over 1.0. Im definitely missing whatever it is!

  • I have to agree with Partog. The line graph does not give you the quick view of each day's progress at a glance. The old bar graph provided that information at a glance. Look at the 1 year intensity minutes bar graph. It is so easy to read and shows the pattern of ups & downs at a glance. Please return the weekly graph back to the bar graph. In other words quit trying to improve something that was perfect in the first place - just revert back to the way it was.

  • Amber! The new Intensity minutes update is just awful and everyone I know who uses Garmin agrees.  What was wrong with the weekly barchart?  This one is difficult to read.

  • welcome to the ever expanding list of disgruntled users 

  • What version is out there now?  I have 4.41.2.1

    How do we force an app update?

  • How do we force an app update?

    It's not listed as a "Pending" update in the app store. However, if you go to the app store and lookup "Garmin Connect" it will show up with the option to update. I just did this.

  • Thanks.  I must already be updated because my only option is to open the app.
