    I used to use the app every day, but now barely open it. The new interface is clunky, slow to scroll, and overall looks like mimic of other fitness apps when the old interface was sturdy and outplayed the other apps without anything extra. Aaaand now there’s going to be a paywall 🤷‍♀️ I was going to get another Garmin device just to keep things streamlined in one app, now I’ll be exploring other options.
  • New premium tier

    They’re now paywalling premium features behind a subscription, after you already bought a $1,000 watch from them. Really classy move.
  • First the UI, now a subscription?

    I’ve been a loyal Garmin user for years, owning multiple devices from the vivoactive 3 to the Instinct 2. However, the recent introduction of Garmin Connect+ is a betrayal of customer trust. Paying $69.99/year for features that should be included with premium hardware is unacceptable. The app’s UI and redesign has also introduced frustrating issues with data fields and sleep tracking. Garmin’s shift towards subscription fees for software features on high-priced devices is a deal-breaker. Until this approach changes, I’ll be looking elsewhere for my fitness tracking needs.
  • App update is horrible

    I’ve always had my qualms with the app and its lack of fine tuning and personal customization… but the recent updates as of April 2025 are even worse than anything they’ve released before. Never mind the gatekeeping they’ve now introduced with Garmin Connect+. I am not paying money to use an app for “extra” features, some of which used to be free but are now locked behind a paywall, after spending hundreds of dollars on a watch. Ridiculous.
  • Once good app ruined by subscription

    The whole point of paying the absurd garmin prices was to avoid subscriptions. Garmin is once again showing they do not care about their customer base.
  • Connect Plus 👎🏻

    This app is okay and has always been just okay. It’s buggy, difficult to navigate, and the UI is outdated. Getting Spotify to work is painful. This was all okay… but now that they want to charge users and put performance stats behind a paywall. Extremely disappointing.

    With the latest update I am unable to have the app pull the data from the device. Shows synchronization but no data appears. Uninstalled device, reinstalled. Deleted app, reinstalled app. Nothing is working as it should.
  • Connect +, No Thanks

    I’ve been a loyal Garmin user for years, but the new Garmin Connect+ subscription is an absolute slap in the face to longtime customers. Garmin devices are already premium-priced, and now they’re locking features behind a paywall that were previously free? This is a blatant cash grab. Basic performance metrics and insights—things that should be part of the core experience—are suddenly “premium” content? What’s next, a subscription to see my heart rate? Garmin has always stood out by offering robust data without hidden fees, but this move puts them in the same category as companies nickel-and-diming their users. If this is the direction Garmin is heading, I’ll seriously reconsider my next fitness watch purchase. Customers deserve better.

    Huge bummer that they are locking features behind a paywall subscription service. As if your devices aren’t expensive enough to warrant full usage of the data. Come on garmin. Do better. 👎🏼
  • 建议力量训练再增加几样

    App非常喜欢,比我用过的苹果和另一款智能运动手表都好,不足的地方是力量训练只有哑铃可以检测,向上推举、仰卧起坐、深蹲、俯卧撑一类的都缺乏,希望后续更新能够增加。用过三星、苹果、Amazfit智能手表,第一次购买佳明Fenix8使用,非常喜欢,以后再不会考虑其它智能手表。手表屏幕像素不足也是佳明不足之处,希望后续新品能够赶上苹果。
