      It doesn't really say that you can only take the badge in US and Canada. I read that you can only redeem the award in stores in US and Canada.
      I can't see the challenge or badge yet and my location is set to US. We will see tomorrow if it pops up. Someone in the US or Canada should be able to tell when they are seeing the challenge.

      I see now that is says "This challenge has limited spots and is only available in the U.S. and Canada.". We will see...

    Not everyone is a Starbucks fan. So this might not be able for joining. I myself don't care for Starbucks. And i live in the U.S., N.Y. to be exact. Earn 150 Stars to add to your Starbucks® Rewards account, redeemable for a free handcrafted beverage or food item of your choice. So some would benefit from it, while others would not be. The badge is very beautiful and nice, i do admit. But i don't see it being put out there, again we would have to wait and see.

      as expected, editing Feb's Tacx rides works a charm. :-)

      It looks like you only get credit for one badge at a time. I completed a 34km ride and only earned the 25k tacx badge.

    Yes, i see them up on the Garmin Connect Sign-in Website. So they should show up later on tonight, on the Garmin Connect App on individuals devices. Thank You!

      Why did you repeat "not available"? Do you think we missed it the first time? 😁

    Maybe capacity is met. Who knows, maybe capacity was 10 challenges. 🤣

      Hi Vincent - your badge collection is amazing! It would be fantastic if you could share some of the old route files so the rest of us could also complete them. And also if you could give tips on how to get some of the more obscure ones like the Outessa ones?

      @dmmac: With a little initiative, all routes can be found on the internet!

      Thanks @Micky - I have found a lot of them - but really struggling to find the remaining ones!

    How do you log weight training for the strength challenge?

    1. e7andy02 March, 2022 16:39

      Log the activity as "Strength Training". It is probably named "Strength" in your watch if you got support for it. If you got no support for it you can log it as something else and then change the type afterwards in Garmin Connect.

      Make sure the location in this page really says Canada: https://www.garmin.com/account/profile/
      After that you should see the challenge in the challenge page: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/challenge
      I can still leave and join the challenge with location set to Canada.

      There is only one Starbuck's challenge with a green badge. The one where you should take 400k steps.

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

The Tournament of badges - New badges will come soon!

Update 2023-08-10 The winner is "30 for 30" and it will go live September 1. Description "Record an activity of at least 30 minutes every day for 30 consecutive days." ---- Update 2023-08-02 There has come some more info now. Check out Garmin's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/garmin/ There is a story where you cast your vote for which badge that will win.. Link to the Story Exactly what that means is a bit unclear. Will only one of the listed badges go live? Maybe some of the other badges will come later on... Only time will tell. ---- We will very soon see a bunch of new badges that I just found out about. No idea when they will go public. Note that these badges got no time limit. Some of them will be really really hard. Swim streak will probably be the toughest for me. In general I think that the streak badges are the hardest since you can't miss a single day and life often makes you do that. Sleep Savant Receive sleep data for 30 consecutive days. S
