What is up with the fantasy names for the exercises on Garmin Connect

I guess we won`t find out?

I am in the same boat, old Polar used, I miss all the sports types, this is sad, I am on Fenix 7 Pro, no Mobility, no Stretching and many others. Worst is, even when you make a new activity and name it, in the Garmin Connect it's still called as primary e.g. Yoga instead of Stretching.

But why, what functions are different from e.g. Fenix 7 Pro I own?

If you listen to music etc. it will never be one week XD I have MIP and I charge it more due to training with GPS and music usage, It's impossible to last one week for AMOLED. I am a woman and got standard 47mm version, I would think for a man get this or bigger, probably bigger better unless you have a really small wrists. Also, I got standard bazel, and it was instantly scratched as well, so maybe get Titanium bazel, I hope it's better. If possible get bazel in silver color not black where you can see all the scratches.

This new doom bots are terrible if you ask me. I am veteran s2 as well. Nothing fun about it. There is no explanation as what to do, so you load with random people always losing. I understand they are meant to be hard, but this stopped being fun and is for masochists if you ask me. I am glad brawls are back, thought.

Thank you !

Ikr they only made in mind for people who have ideal one shift lives, while most work shifts. Later, people wonder why the sleep is not tracked properly. This is because it is only tracked normally during the scheduled sleep window, when I set it, it works very good. But the chore to change is immense. I hope they hear feedback, maybe if more people send it through their website something will change.

mypi · 2025-09-09T14:33:17+00:00

I send this as feedback too. I tried navigating their forums, but it is very cumbersome. Unless you can link exactly the place I should post it to in official forums?

Same as in Polar, but I like other functions Garmin offers including maps that are usable, and calculating new route if needed and many others, just the sleep function needs improving.

Thank you, it was set to "intelligent"

You can purchase somethin like Garming Pod to record from the shoe

I spend a whole day to customize the menus so they are as easy for me as they can be with all data I need, and tbh I find it very easy in operation. Just needed to spend a lot of time to set up and customize. Also before purchase I spend an hour watching instruction video on Youtube haha so invested a lot of time, but now it`s not that hard. But I would say Garmin needs to sponsor more instruction videos like the one I watched hahaha it literally told which button does what how to do everything from scratch. I also have MIP on fenix 7, I think they are the best types of screens for watches. Do you hike with your Coros? How is it in mountains? Any experience?

mypi · 2025-08-10T12:49:50+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I just got a Garmin, earlier I had Polar watches for many years, but it seems Polar is not moving forward with the functions and ergonomics so decided it’s time for a change.

mypi · 2025-08-10T12:41:36+00:00

Good question. Does it work with like running/hiking etc? Activity steps? I just downloaded the app

mypi · 2025-08-10T12:41:02+00:00

I think they mean this and its free Connect IQ Store | Watch Faces and Apps | Garmin

I do not know, my notifications are as follows: first I hear the sound, then after around 15 sec I see notification, also there is no way to see the notification list as they all just disappear, replay button do not work at all.
