Why are there so many badges that can only be earned from one of the Marvel watches?

Why are so many badges only able to be earned by marvel watch users? I liked being able to earn badges to challenge myself but if you don’t run or bike, there are very few any more to do and very few are repeatable. Please add more for those that walk or hike.  Thank you!

    I second your wish for new badges, but the answer to your question:

    Because Garmin wants your money and gets it only if you buy new watches(devices) :-D

    Whats even more annoying: Diving batches are only added if you log it with the Descent. If you add the dives manually, they don't count.

    Sure, those badges limited to chosen watches are so lame.

    1. For personal use - Too easy to get, so even if you buy that limited watch, those badges will be boring fast. No fun getting same badge almost every activity.

    2. For community use - It makes levels not comparable. Level much faster then others, so levels mean nothing, someone with lvl5 can be weak or advanced. Well, maybe someone wants to get max level with minimum effort, but that's just lame.

    So, yes, badges' system should be refreshed (add more badges for everybody, make new levels etc.), or it should stay as it was (at least levels were quite ok (except abused challenge badge)).
