Challenges for groups

Hi.

Groups functionality is pretty useless now. There is no leaderboard, you can't create challenges etc.

What I offer is to allow to create challenges in group.
E.g. you can create challenge for mileage for dates 1.04-30.04 and have leadderboard of people who accepted the challenge.

Sam can be done not for groups. E.g. I can create challenge and invite my friends. In challenge settings I can specify "invited by me, invited by participants, public" access levels for new members.

I think challenges makes more sense for sport part of running connect that for completely casual vivofit.

I think setting up challenges within groups would be great. I know my team at work is having an internal challenge for the Vivofit, most days making goal so being able to have things like that and a secondary measure if needed would sure be nice.

I'm a Johnny Come Lately here, but I agree, I'd love to be able to create group challenges.

As a side question, does anyone know if it's okay to create a group invite thread here? I have a step challenge group I'd like to find people for.

I highly agree with this suggestion. My wife has a Fitbit (sorry :/) and she's able to challenge her friends to daily goals or "weekend Warrior", which is who can get the most steps in a weekend. This really motivates all of them, which is the point of these devices. I feel that Garmin is missing a big opportunity to strengthen it's services by not having this available.

Come on Garmin, groups are presently useless. I’ve joined groups looking for motivation and even created my own group only to discover how annoyingly useless groups are. Please see all similar comments and give groups some usefulness. Otherwise kill the groups feature and save us all from wasting time.

I really can not believe that Garmin is so damn slow to do normal changes!! To do something as a challenge based on calories should be really simple to create...what year do you people live in???? Really frustrating to pay so much for a watch like this and then you hit a brick wall with an ancient app
