I have had the same problem with a Fenix 6S

Why does Garmin carry over the hydration logged during an activity into the daily stats, but not the nutrition?

Hoelscher74 — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:01:29 GMT

I've been tracking my fluid intake for a while now. When I log hydration during an activity, it also shows up in my daily hydration tracking. But when I log the calories I've consumed during an activity, they aren't carried over to my Connect+ nutrition tracking, so I have to enter them a second time. Surely this would be easy to add for Connect+ subscribers.

Request to change colors on the sleep stages graph

reastland — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 19:19:45 GMT

I like the chart that shows the time spend in each sleep phase. However, the colors used for REM and for Awake are too similar to be distinguishable, particularly on my phone. Can you please change these to make them more obvious?

Our son bought me a Garmin Instinct Solar Rugged GPS Smartwatch on November 28, 2024. I have the original receipt, original box and the Smartwatch. The battery will not hold a charge. I had it fully charged on September 27, 2026 and by September 28, 2026

No VO2 MAX or Fitness Age Showing on Garmin Connect App.

9694224 — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:04:46 GMT

I am trying to get my garmin connect app to show me my VO2Max data and Fitness age.
It’s says “We need a little more data for your most current fitness age”.

I’m using Garmin Edge 1050, with synced Garmin HRM, Garmin crank sensor and Garmin wheel sensor. I’ve put in all my personal stats in, age, weight, height etc and cannot get it to show. My cycle rides are average 22 miles and around 1 hour 20 minutes. I’m using an E mountain bike.

I’ve tried everything

i have a garmin edge 1050 that I use with my bike (Synced) with garmin connect app ans Strava and not showing any VO2 Max readying.

could you please explain that?

If VO₂ Max or Fitness Age isn’t showing in the Garmin Connect app, common causes include:

Your Garmin device may not support these metrics.
VO₂ Max may require compatible activities such as outdoor walking/running with GPS or certain cycling activities.
The device may need several qualifying workouts before an estimate appears.
Your Garmin profile information, such as age, sex, height, or weight, may be incomplete.
The watch and Garmin Connect app may need to be updated and synchronized.
Fitness Age availability can vary by Garmin device and account setup.

Try syncing the watch, checking your user profile details, and confirming that your device supports both features.

Files, images, and data analysis are unavailable until usage resets at 10:37 PM. Continue chatting with text only, or upgrade for more access.

Upgrade to Plus

Since the last update, the pace reading while running on a treadmill no longer works. Will there be a patch to fix it?

Feature Request: Option for Group Administrators to block manual posts/entries

9528246 — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 11:58:50 GMT

Hello Garmin Community and Support Team,

I would like to submit a feature request regarding the group management settings in Garmin Connect. Currently, group administrators lack the option to restrict or block users from adding manual posts or entries to the group feed. In larger groups, every manual post generates a high volume of push notifications for all participants. Unfortunately, this constant flow of notifications is becoming very disruptive, causing many active members to leave the groups entirely.

Since all tracked activities are already synchronized and displayed automatically, manual entries are often redundant and clutter the feed.

It would be a fantastic improvement if group administrators were given a setting to disable manual posting, allowing the feed to only show automated activity uploads. This simple feature would greatly improve user experience, reduce group abandonment, and help us maintain a clean, distraction-free environment for our members.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the Garmin Connect platform.

Best regards, Tom

Krafttraining planen ohne Übungen auszuwählen

2037707 — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:44:34 GMT

Wie kann ich in der garmin connect+ app bzw. Website ein Kraftraining für den Kalender ohne Übungsauswahl erstellen? Ich kann kein Kraftraining erstellen, ohne Übungen auswählen zu müssen. Meine Trainingsübungen dokumentiere ich anders und unaufwendiger, möchte aber das Training im Kalender planen.

Warum gibt es keine Auszeichnung für die Challenge "Ein Schritt auf das Podium im September"? Ich war am 7.9. auf Platz drei und es gab KEINE Auszeichnung. Mehr als ärgerlich, wenn man am Sonntag dafür nochmal richtig "reingehauen" hat.

Challenge September

Sandraluis — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 13:27:01 GMT

Die Challenge für September stimmen nicht mit dem genannten Datum überein. Auch gibt es für die Zeit 31.08. -06.09.26 kein "Ein Schritt auf das Podium" oder wurde auch hier ein falsches Datum für den September genannt.

Issue with sleep tracking , such an expensive devise should not have these issue...

7110749 — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 10:15:22 GMT

I got my Garmin Fenix 8 recently and really frustrated during sleep... As soon as I wake up to use the washroom the watch wakes up and won't say that I slept anymore for the rest of the night. I've had other smart watches that work great. The Google pixel which what I had before tracked flawlessly for a watch that's so expensive. This should be something that's fixed through it with their software algorithms. I don't understand

Is Garmin working on a fix for these sleep algorithm softwares? Because this is just almost making me want to return this device, they can't do something so simple that other devices can do

RE: Does anyone have a recommendation for a fitness watch that calculates fitness age correctly? Tired of waiting for garmin to pull their head out of ass and fix the calcs

HADIZET — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 21:19:29 GMT

Go.. meint dazu:

Da der englische Originaltext den sehr saloppen, verärgerten Ausdruck „to pull their head out of [their] ass“ (aufhören, sich dumm anzustellen / zur Vernunft kommen) enthält, findest du unten eine sinngemäße, umgangssprachliche Variante sowie eine etwas entschärfte Option.

Umgangssprachliche Übersetzung (nah am Originalton)

„Hat jemand eine Empfehlung für eine Fitnessuhr, die das Fitnessalter korrekt berechnet? Ich habe es satt, darauf zu warten, dass Garmin endlich den Kopf aus dem Arsch zieht und die Berechnungen korrigiert.“

Leicht entschärfte Übersetzung (höflicher)

„Kann jemand eine Fitnessuhr empfehlen, die das Fitnessalter richtig berechnet? Ich bin es leid, darauf zu warten, dass Garmin endlich in die Gänge kommt und die Berechnungen in Ordnung bringt.“

Déception

5180807 — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 16:34:58 GMT

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.
