Gear Tracking

TW

Hi,

love the idea and implementation of a renewed and thorough gear tracking in Garmin connect. 

However, gear tracking as established right now, does not make a lot of sense.

What would be needed is a data field to enable the user to enter the duration/distance the gear has been already in use BEFORE adding it to Garmin Connect. Only by adding such a field it would make sense to enter e.g. all the available running shoes for a tracking in Garmin Connect. I saw such a possibility in other apps when entering gear.

Best,

Tim

    You can suggest an improvement to Garmin at Share Ideas | Garmin, but if you do not want to wait months or years, you can work around it yourself - simply add a manual activity, assign the concerned gear to it, and enter the distance and time equal to the initial gear mileage. I recommend using some dummy activity type that you normally never use, in order to avoid skewing the stats for the sport of your interest.

    Thank your for the answer and the suggestion - never though about getting the mileage added to the gear like that. Somehow funny that a field for distance/time of previous use was not in the initial role-out but I may add it to the ideas forum.

    This is what I did when I moved all my gear from Strava a few years ago.
