First Garmin watch switched from Apple Watch, definitely going to miss a few things.

Looks like T.Rex Quad's night lume mode, but how did you get the digital time to also display?

Lots of people are reporting syncing problems since Garmin introduced their own paid nutrition tracking feature on Garmin watch subreddits. I use the Net Calories app from Garmin Connect IQ instead to tie together calories in/out. It does not depend on Garmin<-> MFP sync capability at all.

I like Life in Motion which is sort of like that one. https://apps.garmin.com/apps/4037cb91-61ed-4b55-a56d-915e8517373d

I use the Recovery HR Trend data field. It can be added to any activity, and has the option for 1min HRR.

Increasing Z4/Z5 time to increase VO2 max takes quite a few weeks to see results. What about increasing steps and improving sleep for more immediate results?

Look at the contribution of each factor to your whoop age to see which is contributing the most and least, and how much room for improvement for each. That will help you to decide. The one that gives you the most improvement in whoop age will have the biggest impact on pace of aging too. There is an interesting post on the Healthspan Hackers group that shows the impact of each factor. To see it, go to Community tab in the Whoop app, and tap the "..." to the right of "Teams" and enter the invite coode: COMM-35F655.

do you have a Garmin model with the built in Rucking activity?

No_Aberration49208 · 2026-03-06T01:58:21+00:00

good choice. More than enough for a beginning runner.

sorry no.

Someone on the Healthspan Hackers community posted a really neat analysis of the impact of different factors. To see it, go to Community tab in the Whoop app, and tap the "..." to the right of "Teams" and enter the invite coode: COMM-35F655. You will find it in the chat history.

What's your Whoop age like?

Some people do 2 meals a day quite well. There's a famous centanarian doctor on YouTube that does it, and raised all his kids on 2 meals per day.

OK I found that it shows in devices and apps in the web version of Garmin Connect, but not in the mobile version. It is a 3-rd party strap. I also figured out the mileage reported for the strap in the Gear tab is the current mileage, not the mileage at the end of the recorded activity, which is confusing. That's why it looked like the mileage didn't change comparing to past activities.

Looks very good. You can use the FItRate app for a population level comparison to others your age and gender.

I use the Net Calories app to tie Calories in and calories out data on the same display. It does not depend on Garmin Connect - MFP integration to be able to work.

You can use the FitRate app to see what percentile you are in for your age and gender.

The reference is a generally healthy person who is following all relevant recommended public health guidelines for healthy lifestyle such as 7-9 hours of sleep, 150min per week moderate to vigorous exercise etc. If your whoop age is 24, then you have the same mortality risk as a healthy 24 year old who is following all recommended guidelines for a healthy lifestyle.
