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.
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.
You need to uodate this video immediately!! Garmin just updated the app and it is horrible. I have been a Garmin Connect user for 6 years and loved it until April 19, 2024 when they rolled out the new version. Its a mess. Maybe Garmin will roll back to the old version.
Can you transport your sleep data from your smartphone to a desktop computer. I would like to be able to read sleep statistics on a bigger screen than my phone.
How do you change the running activity interface? mine doesn't have the same design as yours with the data such as Time, Distance and Calories in circles.. (just curious)
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.
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?
@@JeatBunkie Yep, I gave up and reactivated my Strava account. Have been syncing everything up to Strava, and leveraging the training log. Missed opportunity from Garmin!
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
On the calendar you can see up to a certain number of color-coded recorded data and if there are more that can fit there the plus number simply means plus that many more data and activities you have recorded that you can see by tapping each individual day.
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
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.
@@RyansTechMedia no. If I wear the watch on its own. Every Km for runs or every 500m for swims etc....i get a beep on the watch. But when i have my phone with me, the phone literrally tells me Lap 1, and then the time of theat lap. I just cant find a way to disable that
@RyansTechMedia i know it saves on the cloud, the thing is when you dont have internet watch does not synchronize anything untill you connect. And that is kinda disappointing.
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 feel your pain. The problem is that Garmin provides a lot of raw data, while many other brands try to make their analytics more insightful and show only what matters. BTW there will be a new video about this soon.

Everyone talks about the watch, noone talks about the APP
Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!
Can you make a video connecting it to the my fitness pal app?
Liked the way you presented the app “Direct to the point” thank you for saving our time 👍🏻
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.
Glad you liked this! There's no subscription required at all to use any of the Garmin Connect features that your watch supports.
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.
How long does a full charge last on your AW?
BTW I just did a review of the Forerunner 265 that you might like.
Get the venu 3
I appreciate you going through this for me, this was the one part of my new watch that made the least sense.
You need to uodate this video immediately!!

Thanks for sharing! The new video is in the works actually.
THANKS for sharing. I just got the Venu 3. The app looks NOTHING like this. Now I know why.
How do you start a workout out of the app? (only with the heartrate strap but without wearing the watch).
Can you transport your sleep data from your smartphone to a desktop computer. I would like to be able to read sleep statistics on a bigger screen than my phone.
This can be done on the Garmin website. Once there, go to the bottom, tap-click on “platforms”. Sign in to “connect”.
You can view your data on the garmin website, after logging in with your account info.
How do you change the running activity interface? mine doesn't have the same design as yours with the data such as Time, Distance and Calories in circles.. (just curious)
The circles disappeared in the latest update. I would like them back also!
Can you access this also through a web interface, website? Rather than using the phone
I just got a venu3 and I'm feeling a bit lost. How can I display my current altitude on the home screen? Thx!
do you need to buy a subscription for garmin connect to get all the features?
Not at all.
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.
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 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?
Bit late but strava might be better for that, it still gets your data from the garmin device
@@JeatBunkie Yep, I gave up and reactivated my Strava account. Have been syncing everything up to Strava, and leveraging the training log. Missed opportunity from Garmin!
I've been trying for over an hour to find my saved pins on the map. I can find them on the watch but not on the connect app

Justin, yes it depends on what kind of Garmin watch you're wearing. For example, AFAIK, Garmin 245 doesn't have health snapshot, right?
Can you do step count competitions against connections?
Yes, you can do it
Is there a way to edit the view displayed on the left?
I assume you're referring to the menu items, which is not customizable as of now, I'm afraid.
Is that true that garmin has a motorcycle feature ?
Yes, Garmin Navigator Nuvi VI, designed for BMW Motorrad
How do I use the website?
Thanks!
No problem!
So I am using it like a pro since the beginning 😂
I have a Venu2, iPhone. Your app features are so much different than mine. Colors, presentations, pdfs, details, etc.. Why is this
They recently made a major update and this video is from before that. Here is the new version: th-cam.com/video/OPMtMIRMIAc/w-d-xo.html
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.
I think the problem is with Apple Phones i'm using it with Android it's not having that problem.
I hid my calories stat by mistake how do I get it back
You have to make a new account lol it stays like that can’t undo 🫵😂
Can dark mode be turned off in the app?
Sure, from the menu go to the Settings, then Theme and select light.
@@RyansTechMediaThank you, I will be returning my Fitbit sense 2 and getting this one.
What a great app!!
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
Do you mean the voice on the watch itself? What's your watch?
@@RyansTechMedia no. If I wear the watch on its own. Every Km for runs or every 500m for swims etc....i get a beep on the watch. But when i have my phone with me, the phone literrally tells me Lap 1, and then the time of theat lap. I just cant find a way to disable that
Select Garmin Devices. Select your device. Select Activity Options > Audio Prompts. Select off
what I want to know is to how to segregate my laps from resting
Helpfully 😊
Sir i am coming tho India may watch not scan plzz admire me
You have a new message:
"Hello this is your Garmin daily metric improvement recommendation:
Get your big a** off the couch"
Strange how noone mention that app is basically useless without internet.
Your data is saved on the cloud, and the app is a way to do so.
@RyansTechMedia i know it saves on the cloud, the thing is when you dont have internet watch does not synchronize anything untill you connect. And that is kinda disappointing.
@@SlurmsMCKNZee Fair point!
I never will buy garmin products anymore.
They exchace everyt time everything.
