The color of the device icon in Connect should match the real color of the device

Former Member over 10 years ago

It would be very nice to be able to choose the color of the device icon in Connect : my edge 500 is black+red, but the icon is grey+blue. Weird...
Same problem for my vivofit : we share a computer for two vivofit that were choosen of different colors, so it would be far easier if the color of the icon matched the color of the device.

Came here looking to ask this exact question, seems silly but it does bug me that the 920xt on connect is red and white rather than the lovely blue/black I own.

I'd be happy with a manual option but ideally as GC knows the devices serial number surely it should 'know' what colour it is and show correct color all by itself?!?!?

Well it would be nice :) but there are an awful lot more things that Garmin need to FIX first

So... I have a nice new FR235 in Black/Gray color that I am loving... a great upgrade from my 2008-era FR405!
But, in Garmin Connect, whenever the device is pictured (such as in the "Devices" feature on the dashboard), it appears as the Frost Blue colored model.

While, I appreciate the beauty of the Frost Blue color scheme, I'd really like to show my Black/Gray model... is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Tom

It's a generic picture of the device. There's no way to change it.

That was what I was afraid of... How difficult would it be to allow this in order to personalize the Garmin Connect experience?!?

If Garmin tracks device color to serial number (and that's a pretty big if) the coding wouldn't be complicated.
Getting someone at Garmin capable of coding it and being paid to do the work would be almost impossible.

Still not fixed.

My instinct shows up in wrong colour after warranty repairs.

Support says that colour is assigned at random and they cant do anything about it.
