I invested over 500 CHF in a Garmin watch, expecting a top-of-the-line model. What a disappointment. In 2026, while artificial intelligence can generate complex databases in seconds, Garmin still can't offer a coherent library of strength training exercises, or even allow users to easily create their own.
How can the absence of such a fundamental movement as the glute bridge be explained? How can the inability to freely customize an exercise library with instructional videos be justified? These aren't luxury features, but basic expectations for a product at this price.
Garmin excels in GPS, battery life, and endurance sports. However, the strength training aspect feels like it's been neglected for years. For a brand that positions itself as a leader in connected fitness, this lack of attention to its customers is hard to accept.
I am deeply disappointed with this purchase. At this price point, I expected a polished product, not an experience that forces you to work around such incomprehensible limitations.
