Badge-firework *yeeehaaa*!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Andy!
For the Running Day badge you must do a run, but for the Bicycle Day badge it is any activity not a cycle one strange. Typical Garmin logic ? It might be worth keeping an eye on that requirement.
ReplyDeleteYes. That is odd. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks.
DeleteThank you.
ReplyDelete"June 3 - 2023 World Bicycle Day, Record an activity on World Bicycle Day, June 3, 2023"
it should be bicycle activity or any?
Garmin wrote "any". We will see if that change.
DeleteI just got my first Garmin watch end of April 2023. Was raring for the Dragon Boat Festival badges (as I'm from Singapore). I guess it's tough luck for me this time round?
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been announced any badge for Dragon boat festival this year. It is on June 22 so there is still time for Garmin to add a badge.
DeleteDid something else change to the calendar? It does not sync in google cal. I even resubbed it and I don't see any badges nor challenges. It was fine in last month badges
ReplyDeleteThe calendars are working, but they are updated once per day at midnight (CEST). I did a manual update a few minutes ago so when your calendar decides it will fetch an update you will see the badges and challenges.
DeleteIt synced finally but somehow I still don't have anything in May. June is fine though. Let's hope google cal doesn't break in July :D
DeleteIt is the same calendar file so if you see June you should see May...if there are any events left in May. The calendars only contains the events that are current and in the future. Past events are removed. If you use your personal challenge calendar and you completed all challenges you signed up for then it will be removed.
DeleteHi, I do not see "2023 Environment Day" badge. Is it country specific?
ReplyDeleteYes. I see that now. It is country specific. I changed to Taiwan and could see it. US didn't work.
DeleteBy the way, environment day badge might be available for all the Asian countries, this is my assumption though!
DeleteI added a few more countries to the list. Thank you for pointing that out.
DeleteHong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Republic of, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam
India isn't on the list? Strange!
DeleteThe "Garmin Unbound" race badges would be awarded if taken part in Emporia, right? Change of country here does not help, is that correct?
It is odd that India is missing. I tested it twice.
DeleteYes. Garmin Unbound must be done at the correct location.
I just found out that gotoes also works for changing the date of an activity if you missed a date specific badge. You can do this here https://gotoes.org/strava/Add_Timestamps_To_GPX.php. Change date, set activity type to 'other' and export to tcx.
ReplyDeleteIt works the same by changing date in Garmin Connect. That is how I do it.
DeleteI could you some help on the Tacx Badges. The time ran out on the ride with the pros challenge and I need to restart, but I don't see how. I tried just playing the first ride again, but I still have the 'time ran out' message. Does anyone know how to restart the Tacx Challenges?
ReplyDelete** Thank you for these blogs and the time you put into all of the badge work!
DeleteIn the upper right corner (in the mobile app) I've got a restart button. It looks like a clock with an arrow around it. Click that to restart the challenge.
DeleteThank you! I completely missed that little icon!
ReplyDeleteHi, is there any way to count steps for "bike / indoor bike" activities? I know it looks or hears pretty dumb to record steps for cycling activities, but somehwhat obsessed with counting steps :D
ReplyDeleteTo count steps while biking you must put your watch on your ankle so it actually moves.
DeleteThe step counter is turned off during biking so if you need to log your ride as something else and afterwards change the type to biking.
If you got two devices then you can log your ride with one device and use the other to count steps by putting it on your ankle.
with the Forerunner 235 I can record steps while doing an indoor bike activity... weird but it works
Delete@Gaëlle. Yes. That is true. Some of the older models do not disable the step counter for biking types.
DeleteAnother workaround to have steps count while you're biking is to use a Garmin heart rate monitor. All you have to do is make sure it doesn't sync to your device or cycling activity.
DeleteA few months ago I went for a 40K bike ride and got around 20K steps because my heart rate monitor thought I was running or something. It wasn't aware that I was on a bike ride.
Dragon boat festival seems to be online
ReplyDeleteThanks. The challenges for July is also up but not possible to join yet. I will post an update with everything soon.
DeleteHi, Andy. I have been seeing the fifth disney badge in the app for quite some time now
ReplyDeleteThank you. The Garmin account that I use to update the badge data doesn't see that badge. I think it is because that account didn't take the first badge. That is logical. I will have to do a workaround to add it.
