Hi everyone,
Ever wondered how fast you really get to work? Or are you just looking for a tracker for your everyday rides, with high scores and more? Then you're in the right place.
This one is not for the racer with an Edge on the bars. It's for the riding you do anyway: the commute, the home loop, the weekend ride, the indoor bike. Your watch's Bike activity records all that fine; it just doesn't learn your way to work and race you against your best on it. Open the app, press START twice and ride.
What we wanted ourselves:
- Routes learned by themselves → no maps, nothing to plan. Start from the same spot and, from the second time on, the watch recognises the route after the first stretch. Then a route page shows big the seconds you are ahead of your best (green) or behind it (red), and the other pages keep your lead at the foot. Way to work, way home and the supermarket detour are separate routes, up to 20 kept
- Climbs learned by themselves → on a climb it knows (from 500 m long and 30 m up), its page turns up by itself: distance left, grade, ascent left, your time against your best. Past the top it goes back
- High scores per bike → road, gravel, MTB, city, e-bike and indoor keep their own: longest ride, most ascent, fastest 10, 20 and 40 km (or 10, 25 and 50 miles).
- A weekly goal → the bar sits right on the start screen, with month and year totals behind it
And what riders asked for → what's in it:
- Riding indoors → no GPS needed, heart rate big on its own page. Speed, distance and bests need a speed sensor paired on the watch, cadence a cadence sensor
- Power on the wrist → only with a meter paired on the watch itself (Forerunner 255 and up, fēnix, epix, Venu 3 and 4; not the Forerunner 165 or vívoactive): 3 s power, average, zone by your FTP, best 5, 20 and 60 minutes
Also:
- Start/stop on the physical button only, no ghost touches, gloves or not. BACK sets a lap
- Auto pause at red lights, so your average counts riding only (you can switch it off)
- History of your last 30 rides, each opens its summary again
- Saved to Garmin Connect as a ride with GPS track and laps, the e-bike as an e-bike ride
- 100+ Garmin watches, 28 languages. Not on the ones with the least memory (Forerunner 55, Forerunner 245 and Venu Sq without Music, fēnix 6 and 6S non-Pro, Enduro 1, Instincts without AMOLED), sorry: too tight for it
- Paid, one-time, no subscription

If you try it, we'd love to hear how your first week went, good or bad. And if something's missing for your kind of riding, let us know.
Happy riding!
