Hello.
I recently bought and Vivoactive 3 and i am very happy with the device. I use it for running, mtb, activity tracking and for wrist notifications.
Recently i started swimming and i couldn't believe when i found out that Garmin deliberately BLOCKS personal records for this activity for this device. It's not that "it's not available" like it's stated here:
https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=O8rHgFa3iB2HpErPIxL4v5&searchType=noProduct
It's blocked! (the data is there so it's not an availability issue).
Now, i understand that there are market strategies and such, but this is utterly ridiculous. I mean, the data i record get's exported to 2 other social sports media sites and they BOTH record and show the records. Why not Garmin connect / device!?
The only thing that is accomplished here is a dissatisfied customer.
I will stop recommending Garmin devices (which i find, mostly, top notch devices) just because of this matter, than some might consider tiny or unimportant, but for me, is a deal breaker.
Would love to hear from an official source if this issue will be addressed soon.
Nuno
