So I have the Garmin Vivofit with a heart rate monitor, and I love it. I have definitely been able to keep track of my workouts much better and Garmin Connect is a really great tool. However, I have a few suggestions on making it even better:
1. I would really like to be able to change the distance on activities within the iOS app. It's kind of a pain to have to go to a PC just to change one number. I do skate skiing, and my Vivofit understands my workouts/races as walks and vastly underestimates the distances.
2. I would love to have a more in-depth look at my heart rate after a workout (no matter what type of workout; I believe only certain workout types allow this at the moment). Right now, after a skate-skiing or martial arts workout, all I get is an average and a max. I would like to see a graph of heart rate over time for each of my workouts so that I can analyze the workout.
3. I would like to see martial arts listed as an activity type. I believe some others have requested this, but not enough people had asked for it for Garmin to consider adding it to the list. An alternative to this would be to just allow the user to create a manual activity type. This would be especially awesome if 4 can also happen.
4. In the same vein as 3, I would like to change my dashboard activities to the ones I actually do (not just the default ones). I don't really care all that much about my steps, and I would really like to see my main activities (martial arts, skate skiing, cycling) as my dashboard rather than having to go to "All Activity Stats" every time within the iOS app.
5. I don't really do much weight training personally, but I thought it might be nice in strength training to be able to record progress when lifting weights (to keep a log of your max, keep track of plateaus, etc.)
6. I would love to log my distances in kilometers without changing my other units to metric. I am in the US and I mainly use US units, but all of the distances given for Nordic skiing are given in km and this would make it a bit more convenient for the winter time, and I would just change back to miles for cycling in the summer. (This one's not a huge deal, I just thought it would be a nice touch)
If anybody from Garmin or from the forum has questions on this, I would love to discuss my ideas further (though I may be a bit slow to reply). Also, if anybody else has suggestions, please share them!
