What's Garmin Connect and what can you use it for?

You can find everything you measure with your smartwatch in the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone. You can find 'In Focus' in the start menu. Here, you can quickly see a couple of statistics such as your body battery, steps, and your latest activity. Below that, you can find the "At a Glance" section. This is an extensive overview with your heart rate, floors climbed, and VO2 max status. You can view other statistics if you click on 'view more'. You can adjust these 2 overviews to your liking. This way, you can decide which statistics you see right away.

In the Garmin app, you can take part in challenges and collect badges. Run 10km in a weekend or bike 100km in a month, for example. This way, you can challenge yourself and your friends. With the Garmin Coach function, you can follow a workout plan to achieve a goal. Garmin Coach plans your workouts and adjusts the schedule based on your progress. You can also find separate workouts in the app. You can choose which muscle group you want to train or create your own workout.

Do your friends also have a Garmin smartwatch or bike navigation? You can follow each other via Garmin Connect. In the 'News Feed', you see the activities of all your friends. They can see yours as well. You can also share your performance on other social media such as Strava. The LiveTrack function allows you to share your live location during an activity. This way, your friends and family can follow you closely during a race or workout.
