Tom Shugart (@tshugart3) reported@GarminFitness That graph with all the missing data was from a sync via my computer and Garmin Express. Disappointing that there's nothing else to be done (the support center stuff doesn't help). What I think it needs is an update, and it sounds like that's not forthcoming.

Brian Tafel (@briantafel) reportedHi @GarminFitness could you please fix the VO2 max / Apple Health integration that thousands of us serious runners have been asking for? It feels like hubris. I’m looking srsly at Apple Watch Ultra knowing my hard work shows up across health apps. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Marc J. Randazza 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇷 (@marcorandazza) reported@Apple - my Apple Watch **** the bed and you’re gonna take a week to get it back to me? Guess that gives me a week to try out a @GarminFitness watch and see if I’m ready to swap ecosystems.

Omkar Pradhan (@Omkar_Pradhan7) reported@Garmin @Garmin_India @GarminFitness I always believed Garmin stood for reliability and quality. Sadly, my experience has been the complete opposite. I purchased an Instinct 3 (50mm) in May 2025. Within 5 months, it had a battery defect and was replaced (Sep 2025). Seven months later, in May 2026, the replacement unit started malfunctioning with pace tracking. I spent nearly a week without my watch while it was at the service center. Then, just a month later in June, the same replacement device developed a heart rate sensor issue. I’ve now been informed that this unit will also be replaced. That means I’ll be on my third device in just 14 months. I requested a simple exception: allow me to switch to a different Garmin model, and I’m happy to pay the price difference. This request has been declined. Can someone explain why? As a customer, I’ve repeatedly faced training disruptions because of defective hardware. Every issue has been verified by your own service team. At what point does customer experience become important enough to justify an exception? I’m not asking for a free upgrade. I’m only asking for a chance to move away from a model that has repeatedly failed me, while paying the difference myself. I expected better from a brand known for building products athletes can depend on.

Margaret-Ann, PhD Scholar (@RealMargaretAnn) reported@Garmin @GarminFitness listen, I need y’all to fix this Forerunner HR firmware ASAP because I know I’m fit af (IRONMAN!) but there’s no way my HR was between 31-76 for a 1.5hr Zone 2 training run… it’s been weeks, PLEASE SAVE US FROM THIS HELL! I’M NOT UNPRODUCTIVE! 😭 #garmin

Dr. Kate (@KateERyan) reported@MarkMilliganDPT @GarminFitness I think the wrist heart rate sensor is just kind of buggy. I’m in the Fenix 6 now, but occasionally I go through periods of getting a lot of false abnormally high heart rate alerts, and either restarting or updating the software will resolve it.

Mark Milligan (@MarkMilliganDPT) reported@KellerCaponePhD @GarminFitness Hey Cheryl! Great to hear from you! Oh good call. Will wear chest strap next time and see! Same tightness each time. Sweating does not seem to matter. I tried starting by wetting it to simulate sweat. I even take the watch off and see if it calibrates but that does not help
