A Thousand Curses on Garmin

I just got this from Garmin today. Here is my response.

________________________

How incredibly lame! I have a Garmin 830 bike computer that collects all of the useful information  for the now disappeared "Insights" options on the 830.

IT WORKED FINE UNTIL DECEMBER 2021!

What earthly good would adding a (garmin) watch do for a bike rider!

I suppose that the next update to the 830 will disallow any heart rate monitor except garmins' and the
following update will disallow any power meters execpt garmins'.

I found that being able to compare my stats against my age group useful and interesting.
(I will be 84 years old in a couple of weeks!)

Color me a very dissatisfied and disappointed user of my garmin 30 bike computer.

Hello Jerry,
We're following up on the report that you were getting confusing information when viewing Insights in your Connect app. After researching this issue, we discovered a bug that was causing Insights to appear as an option in the Connect app where it didn't belong. Insights should on display in your Connect app if you use a Garmin wearable, like a Forerunner or Venu watch. We've resolved this in the latest release of the Connect app, 4.57, which is available now in your App Store. After updating, you should no longer be able to see Insights unless you add a watch to your Connect app. Please let us know through https://support.garmin.com/ if you experience any future issues.
Thank you for choosing Garmin,
Joshua

  • Lame is one word to describe the removal.  I think the appropriate word is "greedy."  After purchasing multiple garmin cycling, automotive, and hiking units over the past many years, this is insulting to Garmin customers. 

    But, if Garmin really wants us to buy a Garmin watch, may I suggest that Garmin take away the the time of day field from the Edge unit -- that will give us an even greater incentive to buy the Garmin watch.
