Connect+ weight

hw64

Ok, I’m currently using the test month of Connect+ and am making use of the food logging. I also have an Index S2 on which I weigh myself every morning. The last couple of weeks I regularly noticed that, after my weigh in, I get another weigh in moment. This with a different weight.

Now going through the connect+ Food settings/Food plan I noticed that incorrect weight there as well. It seems the start weight there is not linked to the weight as registered by the Index S2 but has to be entered manually. So every time you adjust the calorie goal, the desired weight loss or something, this weight is pushed to the entire connect ecosystem and to your user profile (also in the weight settings of the user profile of the watch). Without any insight in all the logic of the underlying algorithms I can imagine that this could throw off calculations for VO2max, runpower,… 

Seems to be something that could be designed better. Maybe not relevant if you fluctuate around a stable weight, but in case you lose a lot of weight this can be an issue (and as well a puzzle to figure out where these additional weighings are coming from)

    Can you share a screenshot or screen recording of this occurring for you? We also just put out 5.25 update for Connect, so I'd like to make sure you are on the updated software as well to see if that resolves this.

    Thanks for following up, much appreciated !
    In the video below I first checked todays weight, then did some adjustments in the food goals, where my weight differs slightly. Then back to the weight tile where I get a new weigh in moment with the weight coming from the food section. This had me puzzled for several weeks, not knowing from which app it came (I have lost a lot of weight and this may be less relevant once I stabilise).
    I am on 5.25.

    Great post.  I had setup my nutrition settings to lose 10 lbs a couple months back.  I never thought to check my current setting but did after reading this and Garmin connect never updated my weight even though my weight is entered weekly.  End result, it was setting my target calories based off starting weight and not my weight today which is 10 lbs lighter.  Lastly, why not have something that said hey congrats on hitting your target weight or 3 more lbs to go to reach target…etc.  I am on 5.25.  I manually changed current weight and target calories adjusted, but this should be part of Garmins automation imo.
