    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.

    • @RyansTechMedia

      BTW I just did a review of the Forerunner 265 that you might like.

    How do you start a workout out of the app? (only with the heartrate strap but without wearing the watch).

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @RyansTechMedia
      @RyansTechMedia  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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 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

    • @RyansTechMedia
      @RyansTechMedia  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 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.

    • @RyansTechMedia
      @RyansTechMedia  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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.
