So now I added my fitness pal to my phone and linked it to GC. It overwrote my weigh in data from this morning. Setting it up, I entered a rounded up weight not realizing it wouldn't pull weight data from GC but instead it would write it's own less detailed data (weight only) to GC.
WHAT THE F*** !?!
Of course GC didn't keep a record of my morning weigh-in so I can't fix the error.
Are the Garmin software developers working with DOS 1.0 ?
Do we need to accept this retrograde level of connectivity and flexibility from one of the most expensive scales out there???
In a couple of days this useless brick goes back to the store.
It is completely immaterial as to why I want to weigh myself multiple times. If I have a reason then that is my business not yours. What this discussion is about is that Garmin Connect will not allow you control over how you use the scale. If you have read through any related posts you will have come to realize that someone just might want to jump on the scale for any reason at all but if you do, the scale will upload that data and overwrite your morning weigh in. That is stupid. Period.
There is million reasons to weight more then one times a day.
Professional fighters weight themselves many times before match.
Endurance athletes weight themselves before the activity and after to know how much water they lost during the activity.
Stuntmen and circus performers weight themselves before each show to precisely set bungees, descenders and goldtails...
I'm sure there is way more people who would find weighting more then one times a day handy.
Since these comments are all 4 years old and Garmin has made no effort to correct the problem, they clearly have no intention of fixing it, ever. It's disappointing, but I'll have to return the product. Persistently bad software implementation is making a good piece of hardware worthless.
