Hi Garmin!

How I can create custom exercise to add to strength workout?

For example I would to add an exercise like Arch-up but I cannot find it in the list. So I would like to create it.

    I do not believe we can do that. There are many many people that have the same issue for years and they are not doing anything about it. Check the related links on the right.

    I just sent them an email about this in their "ideas" page. Would be nice if you did the same so they get more and more requests for this.

    After spending a few hundred $'s for a Garmin 645 I run across this issue.   I use the watch for running with no issues, but I want to record my anaerobic exercises and find it impossible to create a workout because 1.  I can't find on the dropdown list many of the exercises I do on a regular basis and I can't manually add an exercise.  I see that Garmin has ignored all requests for this issue for at least six years.  Totally unacceptable.

    Has this been resolved? I want to do this, but haven't worked it out.

    Garmin is a joke in terms of users friendability... would have never purchased the watch if only I knew such a simple feature was not included

    I also regretted buying a Garmin watch, and not only for having very bad user experience. I cannot sync my Garmin data easily; they are stuck with Garmin!
    I have now sold my Garmin watch and bought the Pixel Watch, which is a Fitbit, and could not have been happier with it!!! I suggest you do the same. Sell the stupid Garmin watch and buy yourself a Fitbit!

    I'm sure you told the buyer how terrible Garmin is. Joy

    Maybe, but you indicated that you cannot sync Garmin data easily.

    Syncing is also needed for golf. Did you ever contact Garmin support about it? I've contacted them on 2 occasions. Both times they quickly responded and fixed my issue.

    Personally, strength training works "OK" for me. Sure, it's missing some of the exercises, but I like the watch too much to give it up for this one thing. Especially, for something that can be fixed in an update. I put in a request for some of the missing items. A few of them showed up in an update. Still missing some.

    Overall, I'm happy with my Epix Gen 2. Sorry if your experience was not the same as mine.
