Weekly activity minutes? (starts on Monday...)

so, not sure if this is a bug or feature ( = intent of Garmin team):

with my week defined to start on Sunday, i would like my weekly activity minutes to start on Sunday, but it appears regardless of what is set as my week starting date preference, the activity minutes count from Monday through Sunday.

not a huge deal in the grand scheme, but i'd like for this count to be consistent with how i set up my preference.

    If I'm not mistaken, that's just a display preference – and only for Garmin Connect itself, no less, that registered devices in your account need not observe.

    Well, it appears the device is what is actually counting the Intensity Minutes (and comparing it against the weekly goal in the widget on the watch), and Garmin Connect doesn't do any post-processing once the data has been uploaded. In the absence of being asked for a preference for conceptualising the (start of) week across the entire ecosystem, it will remain fragmented unless you happen to already align with thinking of Monday as the start of the week just as the watch does.

    Well the watch itself actually has an (annoyingly) separate preference for Start of Week (Settings > System > Format), which does change how your weekly run totals are counted and displayed. But no, it doesn't change the first day for counting intensity minutes.

    So that's one user setting for GC which changes your calendar display, one setting for your watch which affects weekly run totals (and who knows what else), and one hard-coded dev constant which affects intensity minutes (and who knows what else).

    It would be great if there was just one setting that controlled everything.
