Lots of new badges on the way - Dance Fitness, new Tacx challenge and more from the Challenge Badge Badge Challenge

Update 2023-10-02

Garmin servers seems to be up and the status page says all green: https://connect.garmin.com/status/
The badges that disappeared are now back. There are reports that data logged yesterday wasn't counted to the badges. It might help if you make an edit to the logged activities and save them again.

Update 2023-10-01

Almost all badges from The Challenge Badge Badge Challenge badges have now been added. The missing ones are: Elliptical 10 and Badminton.
Not sure what happened but they have been disappeared later during the day. Maybe it was caused by the server issues Garmin had. I believe the badges will come back in a day or so after the weekend. Never a good idea to do deployments on the weekends, but I guess they wanted to get new stuff out on October 1.

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.

Record 100 dance fitness activities.

Quick Feet 4
Get 8,500 steps in a single dance fitness activity.

Quick Feet 5
Get 10,000 steps in a single dance fitness activity.

New Tacx challenge 

There hasn't been any new challenges for Tacx since Garmin released that last one in April this year. Garmin is now adding a new one. Not available yet, but hopefully soon. They are usually pretty tough and you need to commit to complete them in time

    For "Mixtape", they do have watches with music, so I'm wondering if they will be able to detect how many songs play during an activity.

    This seems awesome! Always happy for new badges and a way to record dancing is so good. Wish they'd bring out a equestrian option at some point

    Mythical sleep would probably be 8 point badge.

    Is there a generic Garmin activity for Dance, or do we have to use 3rd party app? I looked and people are setting an "other" activity for that.

      The dance badges are not live yet. I believe Garmin will make a big announcement about the dance fitness and also add one or more dance activity types. Maybe together with a new watch.

    Saw all the new bagdes earlier today, but now they are pulled back again. Or is it just the outage they are reporting?

      Garmin still claims they are down: https://connect.garmin.com/status/
      Even if things seems to work pretty good. The new badges are still missing. Maybe they had to rollback some changes that caused server issues and by doing that the badges also disappeared...just theories.

    Can I please ask for clarification with the Runner Graduate badge ? It is to select a Garmin Coach Plan ( under Training Plans) which has eg 3-5 workouts/week and follow that until you have completed 10 workouts, and not completing 10 workouts under the Workouts tab ? Thanks.

      The description is "Complete 10 workouts in a Garmin Coach training plan.", so start a coach plan and do workouts until you get the badge. After that you can quit the plan.

    Hydration Streak-badge: I usually use milliliter (ml) to track hydration, but it looks like you have to use (oz). I logged 2 liter (2000 ml) two days in a row, but the badge progression showed nothing. Today I changed units to (oz), and the progression now shows 2 / 30 days.

      @Dejan. Great that it works!
      You need a watch that supports sleep score. Fenix 5x doesn't. Read more here: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=DWcdBazhr097VgqFufsTk8

      Bei mir tut es entweder mit Liter oder Oz. Ich hatte ähnliches Phänomen heute morgen gesehen, dann habe ich den App neu gestartet und war 3/30. Kannst du auch den App neu starten und schauen ob es tut.

    Anyone already got fins on badge? I did swim activity today with average pace of 1:46/100m but it was not awarded. I found same issues somewhere on reddit. Does the pace have to be exactly 2:00/100? That would be quite hard to get...

    Rise and Grind Bug: When you first hit day 7 (for me was on a Sunday) , you are awarded the badge AND it counts that day towards the next 7 consecutive days, so you will earn it again 6 days later (on Saturday, in this example).

      Yes, that badge has a bug. I can confirm it.

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
