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.

Some interesting ones here. I like badges that make you go beyond what you would normally be doing - and some of these definitely achieve that - as opposed to the expeditions which eventually just happen over time due to normal activities! But I agree some are going to be very difficult to achieve. I wish my sleep was even close to 100!!
ReplyDeleteAre these going to be repeatable ?
ReplyDeleteWe don't know until they go public.
Deletewow. I don't think i'll ever get the sleep 100 one! Mainly as I have my doubts on the accuracy of my watch recording my sleep stages. I'm excited to see the new ones like picleball, I have no idea what pickleball is but excited to find out.
ReplyDeleteLooking into my historical data, I've got multiple 96, 97, 98, but never single time 99 or 100. I would even doubt that watch produces such values!

These new badges seem to link into the challengebadgebadgechallenge that Garminhave posted on Instagram.

DeleteInteresting. I did the poll. Looks like not all challenges will come.
DeleteHi Andy, by any chance do you know if the Daily Suggested Workouts are available somewhere in the Connect App? sometimes I would to see them in the app or web page to consider... thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think it is only available on the watch. It is device based so that is probably the reason.
DeleteLooks like 30 for 30 won. So I wonder when we will see that appear?
ReplyDeleteComment in Insta story says 1st September. Really glad this one won.
Deleteis this means that from all 16 "new badges" only one won? sad... we need points!!!!
Delete@Claudia. Many users believe that the others will be added later on.
Delete@e7andy glad to hear this... lets hope!
DeleteLooks like the favorite 4 will go live
Deletegarmin IG announced the top 4 will all go live!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that and saw an image with the info in a Facebook group but I can't find it in Garmin's Instagram.
DeleteIt was just in their stories as opposed to a post
DeleteAsking the users to cast their votes on Instagram was a bad idea in my opinion. I don't use Instagram and I don't intend to in the future.
ReplyDeleteI actually missed out on voting this.
Would it have been better if Garmin just decided so no one would have had anything to say?
DeleteWe will likely see all badges in the future.
If you really wanted to vote you could've created an account and then removed it.
Never really got to know that the posts would be posted on Instagram. Anyway, I should keep track of them.
DeleteI voted once when I heard about them, but didn't bother much.
DeleteTo find out about these things you need to already be using Instagram, Facebook etc. and follow the right accounts and be in the right groups. It is easy to miss it.
Is there a Bug on garmin.connect? I can't upload any fitfiles any länger...
ReplyDeleteI tested the import function now and it works. What error message do you get?
DeleteDoesn't work with Google Chrome only. Couldn't choose fit files to upload. Samsung Browser works.
DeleteWorking fine for me on Google Chrome just now
DeleteYeah, not working on chrome. Just can't select the file to import.
ReplyDeleteThats right! Try to use an other Browser!
DeleteAny idea as when the challenges for September would be announced?
ReplyDeleteIt is random, sometimes a couple weeks before, sometimes only a day ot two before.
DeleteWhy doesnt garmin has any points for number of Cardio activities like how they have for number of walk, yoga etc.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of these badges just (?) dropped (mid Oct). Mythical sleep, pickleball, disc golf, hydration/walk/run/swim streak, fins, rise and grind, new heights, etc...
ReplyDeleteYes. There is a more recent blog post about them: https://blog.garminbadges.com/2023/09/lots-of-new-badges-on-way-dance-fitness.html
DeleteThey all came October 1.
