They need to add some kind of mid-long term analytics in the app. I would like to see trending data for things like HR during specific activities, like running at specific paces /speeds and such.

It's a shame that it's really only a facelift on the home screen but its good to see them refining the design. I just hope they add the summary for the last 7 days as that was super helpful

[danielwardAUS]

I love the "yesterday" and "previous 7 days" stats too!! I hope they keep them

[cyclingzen]

Wow it only took them a decade to design a modern interface

[jeffeversole]

Agreed on the 7 day stats. Also, Please give us the ability to attach gear by default based on the activity type so we dont have to go in and change the gear after an activity. For example, when I do a MTB ride, the app should be smart enough to know I'm using my MTB and not my road bike.

Thanks for the overview! I am not sure the new layout on the phone app is much of an improvement. But at least it is not getting worse 😊. I agree with you on the yesterday and last 7 days overview. They should keep that! The layout for PC however looks quite nice.

Really nice to see Garmin doing a refresh--thanks for sharing the details!

Garmins weakness is definitely UX/Design - really shows their engineering roots. If they can improve here, it will make them such a more compelling company

[TimNguyen]

I wish they would update their calendar. I want to be able to go and check what I did a few months ago to a year ago without having to click the "back" button so many times to get there

This video really helped me since I use the browser version of Connect more than the Android version on my Samsung Galaxy. I hadn't realized that I need to make the changes I want on the Android app to change the web view. Thanks. Really helpful.

Great clear review Des. Garmin has so many features and metrics- I can understand that they are trying to figure out a way to help us organize what we want to see- but while this is different not sure it's really any 'better'. I'd rather scroll than swipe (since you can see what's coming below).

[rabomarc]

The real question is: will you be finally able to set different default bikes for different cycling activity types?

[maciej_ma]

I really would like to see colors of HR zones on activity graphs. My 955 has these.

[audrius.jaciauskas]

Great review. I do like new interface and hope to see Garmin Widgets for iOS like Strava do.

[maxw]

That update was long overdue - I hope they tackle the webinterface next - there is room for lots of improvements with all the data they have.

[sindex]

I'm joining you on Team Circles. I like that layout rather than boring grids. I also like the yesterday/7day stats, but I assume that data is still available, even if it's not displayed "at a glance." I just hope I don't have to go to the website to find it.

[arcadialive]

Love the new app. Garmin has the potential of being the best watch company of all time. If we can get a rotating bezel and keep an analog style clock with our work out metrics in various sections of the dial. That rotating numbered bezel would give us an ability to track sprints, free dive times, and alternate time zones, all without navigating away from our work out. Come on Garmin I know you can do this!

[yngvenordahl]

For the 7 days summery, they really need to not include current day in the average caloric expenditure, because todays expenditure isnt finished yet, and throws off the number.

[mkxkpfb]

I have one question why Garmin don’t want to create widget for iOS system why always come into the app?

[mickeybrumfield]

Yes, I like yesterday information and the 7 day information. As far as I'm concerned, they could even add a 30-day information stat.
