Garmin Badges

Update 2023-09-27 Garmin has pulled back all the dance fitness badges from the descriptions file that I use as my source. My guess is that they were published accidently and shouldn't be known just yet. Dance Fitness - New type! This must be a new activity type coming. There are no dance types in Garmin Connect now. The new type should be available latest April 29 next year since there is a badge for the International Day of Dance 2024. That is pretty far into the future. Hopefully we can start to use it earlier. I wonder how the function with songs will work: "Record a dance fitness activity with 8 songs ". Maybe just press lap... A song is the same as a lap, round or pose for other types. Here are all known coming badges for dance fitness: Jazz Hands Record your first dance fitness activity. Shake It Record 10 dance fitness activities. In the Groove Record 25 dance fitness activities. Dance Diva Record 100 dance fitness activities. Dancing Queen Record 200 dance fitness

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

This weekend I developed and launched the new Garmin Badges Calendars . Calendars are generated from the badge and challenge data in the database so you can add them to your calendar application and always stay updated with what badge or challenge to do next. There are two calendars. One for current time limited badges and one for the current challenges. Default all current challenges will be fetched, but there are options to filter the badges with two parameters. userId - Only show the challenges you have joined and still need to do. Note that you must add your data to the site for it to work.  maxduration - Only fetch challenges below or equal the max duration in days. For example if you don't want the stage 1-4 challenges to be fetched you set the limit to below 90 days, if you don't want the monthly challenges and the stage 1-4 challenges then set the limit to below 28 days. Get the URLs to the calendar files and see examples for how to use the parameters in the page Garmin
