Dynamic tracking sharing

Hi ..

I am new to the Garmin wearables. I am currently using the Epix (Gen2). I am also using Honor GS Pro (if it is okay to mention other brand here- not to underrate any of them).
I am very excited with Huawei Health app in which I can share my tracks either for running or biking. The track sharing can be added with any photos and videos. So when using GS Pro and Huawei Heath app, I do not need any other 3rd parties' app. 
Can anyone help me if this can be done with Garmin and it's Garmin Connect, or should I use other program such as Strava?
It will be very nice if Garmin can provide its own app with multifunction use.

Thank you in advance everybody!

    Yes you can share from Garmin Connect app (assuming your Honor is android and you can install the connect app on it - not sure there is a connect app if it isn't android/iOS).

    Are you referring to sharing while like tracking - if so yes some models can do this, but you will need your phone to provide the data connection unless its a LTE watch like the Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE and you have a subscription for it from Garmin.

    But assume you are more referring to an already tracked activity rather than your progress during and activity, in which case - In the connect app - go into a tracked activity. Just under your details are 4 blue icons - heart to like, comment bubble to add comment (can tag connections), camera to assign a picture to the activity from gallery or to take one, share icon. When pressing share icon you get two options: photo with stats or web link (which takes you to garmin connect web so can see the full activity details).

    Photo with stats - its brings up full gallery (no choice to select folders and brings up ALL images sorted by date - so useful if want recent - not great if couple months back; but do have choice to take picture). You have to crop the image then press next to add the stats you want to see. They are preset options in terms of data shown and placement. Pressing on the stats you can change all the text to either white or black. Can add stickers which can actually be moved around (pity the stats can't). press next when ready to share. This brings up all the apps you can share via i.e .facebook news feeed, whatsapp,  strava etc etc etc. 

    Can use strava too - most people if they friends aren't on Garmin Connect tend to use Strava or other platforms to share their activity and take part in challenges etc. If you are all on Garmin (like my family now is) then most tend to just use garmin's sharing options and or challenges (plus can make your own with your connections).

    Hello Jaamgans, .. 
    Thanks a lot for the insight! It helps! I wanted to do the sharing with the app for the tracked activities. So it is possible to share the Photo with stats.  Could you tell me if I can also share a short clip/video showing my route and adding pictures/photos on it (maybe similar with what Relive does- which we can see other's routes/journeys, displays with the map) with the Garmin Connect app?

    Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

    Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I could do sharing a video clip just with the Huawei Health app if I use the GS Pro watch. FYI
