How to Use Garmin Connect App Like a Pro (Tips & Tricks for Garmin Watch Users)

Can dark mode be turned off in the app?

How do I use the website?

Can someone tell me what it means on the calendar that u see the month you see the colors yes, and u see all u did by color code I got that but there is a plus sign and a number as well. What is the that? What does it mean? It changes every day. I can’t figure it out

Can you do step count competitions against connections?

I just want an overview of all my activities (walking, cycling, swimming etc) performed during a chosen time frame, like last 7 days, last 2 weeks etc. A stacked bar chart with total duration of each activity, per day, with a line chart above it for total minutes per day. Is this possible?

do you need to buy a subscription for garmin connect to get all the features?

do these watches have issues with data vanishing from the app? I tried another cheaper watch (not a garmin) and one day all 4 months of data on the app was gone with no way of getting it back because they dont store it anywhere.

Helpfully 😊

Does Garmin 245 show swimming stroke TYPE ? If so where do I find it ?

I dont have the 3 cicle like yours, where tells your time, distance and calories...how to show it?

I think this app has a lot of potential, but I find it somehow unnecessary hard to use. Way to many sub menus and so on.

The app should make it easier to customize watch faces and find the VO-max.

As a former Apple Watch user , I’m actuality kind of disappointed in this app.

I came from Fitbit and even though Garmin watches are night and day so much better in every way, Fibit has a much better modern and sleek connection app. Garmin is just filled with blocks and looks like it has never come from the early 90s design.

Is there a way to edit the view displayed on the left?

How do you disable the app to say out loud when you run 1km etc.....when the watch is connected to the phone it is annoying

I appreciate you going through this for me, this was the one part of my new watch that made the least sense.

You have a new message:
"Hello this is your Garmin daily metric improvement recommendation:
Get your big a** off the couch"

What a great app!!

Since Jan. 2023 phone battery drain caused by the Connect app (IOS) has suddenly become an issue. It has been reported to Garmin but they have no solution yet.

Can you use this app without a garmin watch?

Is that true that garmin has a motorcycle feature ?

Nothing about the the setting up of the map for a run or cycle. I guess you’re an indoor person so that’s not interesting to you.

Thanks for this! As someone said yes no one talks about the app!
Also im still confused if this is subscription based or not? Im totally new to the fitness watch thing. I want something one and done and no subscriptions.

Everyone talks about the watch, noone talks about the APP
Thanks so much

I was surprised to see several options within your app that mine didn't have. I confirmed I've got the current version 4.65. For example in the Health Stats menu I'm missing sleep score, pulse ox, pulse ox acclimation, and health snapshot. Any ideas? In case it matters my watch is a Garmin 245

Way better than what the Apple Watch gives you for health. Apples health app is a mess. I’m waiting for the Garmin 965 to be in stock so I can switch from my AW series 4 that’s almost 5 years old.

Thank You for your tutorial. Got a Venu 2 Plus and I'm very happy with the watch and Connect App

Thank you for this. I'm looking to jump ship from Fitbit and have been browsing/ researching a lot of different watches. Most reviewers overlook the app, which is disappointing because it's really important

Thanks!
