“Super Strength” badge not earned despite enough strength activities recorded.

Former Member over 5 years ago

Why have I not earned the “Super Strength” badge despite having recorded more than the required 5 strength activities? I’m using a Garmin Fenix 5x Plus and an iPhone XR. Thanks.

I've got the badge Deep Breathing 5 and my typical breathing exercise was just about 5 minutes. For Strength I never enter any exercises, with yoga I never enter any poses. Both of them…

If I find real bugs or security holes I will report them or functions that doesn't work as intended. With badges it isn't bugs or security holes. It is more that the limited rules for badges can be used to your advantage. I don't really see how Garmin could stop 1 second activities without making the rules complex, silly or too detailed and not end up with special cases. We already see that with the floor climbing badges. Lots of people get disappointed when they try really hard to achieve something but fail on technicalities.

I think it is good with really simple rules that makes them easy to understand and follow. If people exploit the rules by making 1 second activities or tricking the system in any other way it is up to them and if they can be proud of what they have done.
