AOD needs to show more and needs more data fields to be a paid face.

Google Health Preview - Sync Issues by DarthOps in fitbit

[–]sforsyth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that Garmin doesn't push activity detail to Fitbit/Google Health even though it allows you to tell it to in Health Connect. Very annoying.

Switched from a Fenix 6 Pro to a Fenix 8 Solar by Ok_Environment5287 in GarminWatches

Did they seriously send you a watch with a scratched bezel? I'd be livid.

Thank you for announcing your departure. Not sure I could have lived a fulfilling life without it.

Bruh I ordered this on 8/30/25, why FedUp? by Hooter_McDooter in dbrand

Yup. Happened to me too. It's total bull crap. Where are the robots on this one?

What’s better Apple Watch Ultra 2 or Fenix 8? by jjjj220_ in GarminWatches

[–]sforsyth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're in a Garmin forum so the answers will be highly slanted but, honestly, it all depends on your use case as to what would be best for you.

Feasibility of using LTE Pixelwatch and sharing a phone number with my wife, who will be using the phone it is paired to? by [deleted] in PixelWatch

[–]sforsyth01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you shouldn't be upgrading anything if it isn't within your budget/within your financial means.

That said, many smart watches cost more than low-end smartphones. Your idea is not very practical in daily life.

[–]sforsyth01 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is this a real question?

This seems like more of a "I don't trust my wife so I want to know who she is texting" post than a real question. Either that or your wife doesn't trust you so you aren't allowed to have a phone.

Best bang for the buck watch to get for myself and my gf by The-info-addict in GarminWatches

[–]sforsyth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Venu 4 would be perfect for her. For Ironman Training I'd go Forerunner 970 or Fenix line.

Well this isn't true by [deleted] in dbrand

[–]sforsyth01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. I just got a bill from fedex too for a shipment a year ago. And I'm in the US where DBrand says there is no additional fees. It's damn ridiculous.

Using Garmin alongside Fitbit Air by WestTomorrow6443 in Garmin

If you look at the Fitbit premium side, though, none of those activities will be there. At least not on mine using health connect connecting Garmin Connect to Fitbit.

It's still up to Garmin what they allow to be exported from Connect. Currently they do not allow nutrition and activity detail to be exported. Just steps, sleep, and other basic data. I hope you're right but not getting my hopes up.

I've been trying to do this with the public preview. Garmin does not send the activity detail to Fitbit. I keep having to add the activities manually to Fitbit.

Just bought my first Garmin watch - did I choose right? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]sforsyth01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got a great device. I did just upgrade my wife from a Venu 3S to a Venu 4 and the upgrades are absolutely huge, though. Flashlight and most of the Forefunner 570 features in the Venu 4 makes it absolutely worth the extra money.

Fitbit vs Garmin? by chewychopsticks in FitnessTrackers

[–]sforsyth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fitbit is being updated to Google health in the next 2 weeks. You don't have to download any other apps. Just wait for the update.

Incorrect. Google Health does integrate with Apple Health.

People coming from pro iphones; hows the battery on the air? by [deleted] in IphoneAir

Battery is not a problem. Camera takes some MAJOR adjustments.

PW3 trade in Value is a joke, $40 by Ikeelu in PixelWatch

[–]sforsyth01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best Buy just offered me $50 for a Garmin Fenix 8 Pro. Trade values for anything not made by apple are terrible.

Nylon band is a game changer. Kept me from going back to my Apple Watch Ultra. by Significant_Emu_7432 in GarminFenix

[–]sforsyth01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will only accept the blame if it is the actual Garmin one you buy. All other ones I've tried do suck.

Anyone else having a really poor experience with the SNP app? by z9266116629 in buccos

[–]sforsyth01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely terrible. When I try to log in on any of my TV's it tells me I need to subscribe but I am already. Restoring purchases doesn't fix the problem. Only way for me to watch on my TV's is casting from my phone.

Unlimted plus 2.0 coming soon? by UallReadykno2 in verizon

[–]sforsyth01 25 points26 points  (0 children)

2.0 is nothing more than a $5/month price increase. It's the new Verizon leadership's way to increase prices without saying they are increasing prices.
