Is it possible to get personal best from connect iq api?

Is it possible to get personal best records from connect iq api? Best time for 5km, 10km, 15km, half-marathon, marathon, longest distance, fastest km and fastest mile (not sure if I forgot something).

If not, is there any way to have those numbers available on the watch (through an app, for example)?

Do you just want to be able to see your records on the watch?

That's already available.

No.

Maybe you can access it via web requests from the connect website, but not sure how wise it would be

Too bad... I see the mobile app records these data, but they are not accessible from the API. Maybe I could somehow get the times for each distance after each activity and keep record of them, but it doesn't sound like an elegant solution.

That's already available.

e.g. On a 5-button watch such as FR955

- Hold UP from watchface

- Select History > Records > Running

Sometimes these records may not align with what's displayed in Connect. https://support.garmin.com/en-CA/?faq=unLSr8lk0z5EUCi0k8Yys8

If you want to write a CIQ app that displays these records and possibly does something else with them, yeah it's probably not possible/practical.

That's what I was afraid of... thanks for the info!
