If you’re not using this app in tandem with your garmin device, you’re really missing out. This is the first review I’ve ever made on an app and that should be pretty compelling information because I’m one of those people who rides off the backs of other honest reviews. Me and a few of my buddies are on similar training plans and it’s really motivating to see who’s cranking out the most miles in a week. I also really like the “social media” part of the app through what’s called “connections”. The customizable Home Screen allows me to see all the data that I want and none that I don’t/ or do not care about. By using the coaching I’ve now completed multiple 5ks a 10k and I’m working my way through a half Marathon plan now. Additionally the ability to utilize the virtual coaches have helped me become a far better runner than I could have been on my own. One of the coolest features is being able to import your own Gpx file to the app and side load to your device for custom routes that you can build from various running websites. However without the use of the garmin connect app I wouldn’t be able to really dial in my training the way I do today. I’ve been through two devices, the Garmin Tactix Bravo and the Tactix Delta solar, both great watches with a lot of functionality. This app has been with me for the better part of five years now. It just seems silly that Garmin doesn’t have 5k/10k times viewable on each run since it’s such a popular analysis point and is obviously an issue for many users. Many others online have the same complaint and the only workaround I’ve seen is downloading a competitor app and synching your watch to that as well. For example, if you’re like me and have too much OCD to log a 3.11 mile run and instead choose to run 3.5 miles, you can’t see what your 5k time was after the fact unless it was a personal record. The other issue is that there’s no way to view your 5k/10k time on a longer run unless it’s a personal record (and you’ve accepted all previous PR’s) or you are physically looking at the watch during your run to see the time when it hits 3.11 or 6.22 which is just annoying. It would make more sense to have the ability to decline the PR after the fact if someone wants to rather than requiring everyone else to “accept” them. Logically it would seem that if that’s my PR then it should automatically recognize it without me having to take the step to accept it. I have 2 main complaints with the app…one is that you have to log into the app and “accept” personal records in order for the watch to recognize a new one later on.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
