What's with the new calendar format?

SJWILLING
I uploaded my data today to see a totally different calendar format. It sucks.

Why?

The font is a tiny, washed out looking pastel. Your only alternatives are other washed out pastel colors in a tiny font.

Name of activity: no longer displayed.

Color coding by activity: no longer an option. Surprisingly perhaps, multisport athletes might actually want to look at the calendar and quickly identify which are his/her swims, runs, and bikes. The teeny little sports icons are NOT HELPFUL.

I don't understand the point. Maybe it's just a bad dream and when I wake up it will be back to normal.

    The new calendar format

    I absoluetly agree too!
    PLEASE, GARMIN; Are there any possibility to go back the old design of the calendar in Garmin connect? Or to make that as an opportunity?
    I really miss two thing; that each type of activity had it 's own colour. And that you could see the name/title of the activity in the calendar view!!

    Here is one more person in agreement. This calendar is a step backwards. Need the titles text to be able to appear on calendar in order to organize activity. With all the things that are needed in Garmin Connect (ie edits to swim data, etc) Why, oh why did they allocate resources to breaking something that worked before. If you are from Garmin Connect and reading this. We are not just the few haters. For every post you are reading complaining about the calendar there are several hundred more users that have not bothered to post.

    +1000% Add me to the list! The new calendar color scheme and features are a step backwards IMHO. I'm a triathlete and using the calendar now is somewhat useless. The same color scheme and fonts make it practically impossible to differentiate at a glance and useless, especially without the activity name. For example, when bike training, I use my road, mtb, stationary and sometimes do the spinning at the gym. With the new calendar... now I just 'bike'. Really Garmin??? PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Add me, too. The original calendar was much better. This is a backward step. Just add iCal, CalDav sync support as people have been requesting for some time now...

    What was Garmin thinking? The new calendar is the equivalent to going back to an Atari 2600 from a Playstation 3. It looks cheap the colors of pastel are horrible, the Font is extremely tiny and it loses its functionality. Bring Back the old Calendar Garmin.

    Please change the weight icon back to a visible line item! I paid almost $300 for the scale Garmin suggested so that I could see my daily weight and now the weight feature is basically useless. Also, please change the scheduled workouts color so that it is not the same color as many of the activities. Currently, all items that are not running, swimming, and biking are showing up as gray (the same color the scheduled workouts are). This makes it difficult to quickly see which items are scheduled or which are activities I've actually done.
