June 2021 badges - Last month in stage 2, bike climb and swim week is back!

 


Garmin is very early with the challenges for the next month. We just started with the May ones and already we got the ones for June. Join most of them in Garmin Connect now! The last two will be available closer to their start dates.

No new type of badges this month. Instead we see both the same tough cycling climb with 20000 feet and the 1000 meter swim. Hopefully many more people can swim outside in June when it is warmer in the water.

Updates

  • 2021-06-04 - The Garmin PH Virtual 30 and 60 badges are cumulative. You don't have to do the full distance in a single run. All runs during the time period counts.

    June badges are here very early. Thank you for info.
    This Unbound Gravel badges are location related, or just change country tp USA is enought.

    FYI. I just switch to Philipines country in my Garmin profile, and I can see Dragon Boat Festival bagge as available in Connect.

      How it works with Unbound Gravel badges is unknown, but if it works like previous race badges you must be at the location with at least some location points, maybe just the start end end points.

      Thanks! I've added Philippines to the Dragon boat badges.

    Great to see the swimming badge there. I hope many many people take it and show Garmin that we want more swimming badges. And harder - 1000m is a 20-30 minute swim for most people.

    i already have the three "Dragon Boat Festival" badges from last year. Is it possible to get them again this year or are they a one-time only deal?

      They are not repeatable so you can't get them again.

    Generally happy with that. A bit more variety and some extra ones to aim for. I’d also like to see a monthly one for “intensity minutes”, 2500 for example, as well as steps. ‘Step into June’ seems a bit pointless when there’s already ‘June Step Month’.

      With the steps, running and cycling challenges I think they are just catering for the more casual user as well as the more active so that more people have something to aim for. Good idea on the Intensity minutes.

    I measure my swims in yards (25 yard pool) rather than meters. Will I still earn the June swim week badge if I swim the equivalent distance?

      Yes. It shouldn't be any problem. I haven't heard about any issues with that during the previous two swim challenges.

      There is also a badge for completing a swim in yards and another in metres on the same day.

      It doesn't have to be on the same day. Just log one of each any day.

    Disappointed that the cycling climb challenge is now only 2points (4 pts in April made it feel like I have done something extra special). But, looking at my May stats I did over 20,000 feet without needing to focus on it (which I did do in April), so if I get the miles in (300 where I live) in a month, the climbing badge will follow.

    So, as the date is approaching - does anyone have found a guide on how to get Garmin Unboad Gravel badge?

      These are ordinary badges so you can take them afterwards so no need to solve everything now. If you like to take the badges then just do the gravel rides for all the distances on the correct dates. The badges are related so you need to do one ride for each badge.
      The method is to find the route in a file, add your data, set a Garmin device as creator and convert it to FIT if it isn't already a FIT file.

      Hey,
      Has someone managed to get these badges via a home-trainer after loading the route?
      I also tried to "fake it" with this method: https://garmin-badges.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-to-get-geo-located-badge-single.html without luck as well.... :-(

    Hello. Dragon Boat Festival badges (as well as International Workers’ Day and bizarrely, Thanksgiving) are all available here in Singapore.

    I have a 10k per day manual step target and changing countries randomly increases a few days’ target. Hence I lost a 53 day streak. It’s strange (not to say annoying) as target and time zone should be completely independent. I’ve tried changing back and forth a couple of times to see what happens and every time some days change. Garmin Support have no solution.

      That is odd since you don't change the time zone, but it sounds like the country setting affects the time zone.
      But it might be somewhat logical. The system might wonder why you want to use timezone for another country than the one your are located in and just change it in the backend somewhere.

      This looks like really bug in garmin. If you have fixed 10k goal, no any settings should change it. 10k is always 10k.
      I have the same goal, but I dont want to try it. I have 136 day streak now. :)
      But when I changed country in the past, I did not noticed anything strange or unexpected.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Image
Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting
