Super Strength 3 badge not awarded

I have 28 recorded Strength activities on my Garmin Connect App (All of them starting after the April 28th, 2020 starting date for the badge).  I looked at my activities and they are all recorded in the correct category (Strength Training). I should have gotten the badge after 25 Strength Training activities. Any ideas on how to get them awarded? Thanks!

  • Were all of those activities recorded by a Garmin device, or did you enter some of them manually, or imported them from another app? Only activities recorded by a Garmin device count.

  • Thanks for the reply! Yes, all of the activities were recorded on my Forerunner 235.  Since it does not have a native strength training tracker, I recorded the activity as "Other" and when I stopped the activity, I went into connect and edited it to strength training.  This is the same process I used to earn the Super Strength and Super Strength 2 badges without any issues.  This evening, I also went into each strength activity in the app and edited one thing from it (extended the total time by 1 second) and saved it again. That has worked with some other badge problems in the past but it did not work to get the Super Strength 3 badge.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks again!

  • First I would create a goal in Garmin Connect for Strength Training. Make it 100 activities and for 1 year with start date the day after you got Super Strength 2. Then you will see exactly how many got after that date and remove any incorrectly registered activities. With 100 activities it easy to see the count. You should be at 18% if you've done 28 activities.

    Click the badge Super Strength 2 to see the date you earned it.

    One thing that happened to me was that the device was lost for some reason making it not count for the badges. I had to do 3-5 activities extra. Did you check the device when you went through them all?

  • Thanks for the info e7andy.  I created the goal just as you suggested and it is showing I'm only at 13% complete so it is not recognizing 15 of my registered 28 strength training activities.  All 28 activities are showing up on both my connect app on my phone and on my computer.  I used the charger to do a manual upload of all the activities that were still on the watch and I got the message that they were all files that had been uploaded already. Unsure what else I can do to be awarded the badge at this point!

  • Did you set the start date to 2020-04-28 or to the day after you got Super Strength 2? It if is the latter then there is only 5 missing since Super Strength 2 is 10. 10+13 = 23. And you counted them to 28.

  • I like that use of Goals.
