Garmin Connect Mobile Ideas and Suggestions

Former Member

Have an idea that would improve the Garmin Connect Mobile application? We would love to hear from you! Please use the Garmin Connect Mobile Ideas and Suggestions thread to submit your ideas, suggestions, and recommendations related to the Garmin Connect Mobile app. Thank you very much!

  • Light mode as well as Dark 
    It would be nice to have the option of a Light mode view for the mobile app and not be obliged to use the baked-in Dark mode. White or coloured text reversed out of black isn't always the easiest to read, especially for anything in very small type, and can be quite tiring.

  • Sleep tracking wish: 
    Not sure if this is a Garmin Connect feature or something more overarching, but I would really love to see Garmin accommodate naps and split sleeps, whether by being able to automatically detect multiple periods of sleep through the night/day or through allowing the user to manually start a sleep session on their watch. 

  • MyFitnessPal integration / body composition data wish: 
    • Include body fat percentage in the data that is imported from MyFitnessPal – at present only weight is imported, even if MFP also holds the body fat percentage info as well, and (or)
    • Allow users to manually log body fat percentage in the mobile app/web app the same way that weight can be manually logged

    Could you please add functional training like CrossFit as an activity?

    I completely agree. I find it annoying that the defaults are so limited. I have road shoes. Trail shoes. And indoor workout shoes. They should allow for gear defaults for any category that they allow for workouts. Please! 

  • - add ability to fully configure the watch from the app

    - add ability to copy all settings and data from one watch to another (e.g. when your watch is replaced) and for back up and restore (after e.g. hard resets that are unfortunately sometimes needed). For upgrades to newer models at least copy the compatible settings and data, this will facilitate upgrades.

    - in workouts, add ability to use custom exercise names(!!!) Enable self-populating list? Enable grouping of workouts by type (or subfolders)

    - add ability to see recovery time in the app

  • Haha, good it’s christmas soon. Many wishes here, my guess is that Garmin never look on this thread, and never have.

  • I would like the ability to edit an activity (e.g. change activity name) before it is sent to Strava. This would save me having to edit the name in Strava as well.

    Agree. I came here to suggest the same thing. I like and appreciate that GC allows my activities to auto connect w/ other apps, like Strava, but would prefer an option to manually push activity data out to those apps...primarily so I can edit activities as needed in GC before they populate other apps also in use. This would save time and effort plus allow for more user interaction w/ GC. Thanks for considering!

    Sound effects that happen when you reach goals or need to get moving!
