Suggested workouts - choice possible?

I'm considering a fenix 6 and among the features the suggested workouts seems quite interesting to me (for motivation, vary the workouts etc).

Polar watches have a similar feature that allows you to choose among different possible workouts (indoor, outdoor,dynamic or more static) . This is quite handy since it's not always possible to go out and run.

Does garmin have a similar approach to suggested workouts?

Thanks

And yet there are many more of us who are having great experiences with our watches and never see any of the problems which others report.

I've got a 6XPro which is 15 months old. Wifi sync works when I use it, Training status varies depending on how lazy I am, battery is good (charged the watch last Sunday - been using it as a smartwatch…

I would advice you to avoid Garmin watches at the moment. Garmin currently has huge issues with their software. The issues have been around from July/August this year and we don't anticipate them to be fixed in near future as the company is more focused in adding new features which seem to break even more old functioning features. I consider my Fenix 6 as an expensive paperweight.

Garmin does not have what you are looking for. These watches have some suggested workouts, but for example for running, the suggested pace may be way off for your current fitness level.

I wish that could happen one day, but nothing like this exists right now in Garmin universe. Right now you can only see Today's Suggestion either for Run or Bike

There is only one daily "Suggested workout", but beside that, if you prefer choosing what you want, you can choose from hundreds of available workouts, or create your own ones, if that is what you are looking for. You can let you inspire by the daily "suggested workout", and choose something with similar intensity, but appealing more to you.

Agreed 100%

Good for you, if you think your watch i free of bugs, dream on. Not all users use the same functions. I guess your wifi sync never tell you "sync failed", and your training status is probably not stuck at maintance for months, no unnormal battery drain, nothing. Dude, you're lucky.

Maybe I'm just normal and you're unlucky. By definition, a support forum is going to contain people who are having issues. Neither of us know how many units Garmin have sold and therefore what percentage of owners experience issues. And only a small proportion of those are going to post on a forum about it.

Happy users generally aren't going to post on a support forum telling everyone how happy they are but sometimes we need to introduce a bit of balance into the situation.
