    International Worker's Day - I've got the Netherlands as my country and the badge is visible, so probably no country limits.

      I switched country to Argentina and the badge disappeared. So, there is some country restriction but not the same as previous years. I've only tested a few countries now.
      Netherlands and Sweden work.
      Argentina and USA do not work.

      Last month I changed the country on my Connect profile for a badge. I synchronized with my Forerunner 935 and a crazy thing happened: the device started up in first setup mode as if I had done a restore, and later it froze. After forcibly rebooting it, it started up continuously in a loop. I could no longer get it to work. After almost 10 years, it abandoned me. I don't know if it was the country change that sent it down, but there was this coincidence 🤷

    Changed my country to Japan, the easy way to get the two special badges this month.

      I have a activity april 27 a just changed my country to Netherlands. Do you think that I will get the King's badge?

    5. e7andy29 April, 2024 19:06

      If you do an edit to the activity you will get the badge...if the country change was successful.

      And that's how I got Loy Kratong 2023. I edited a activity without knowing that was eligible for the bagde. So in theory... I can grab other badges last year as well (if my country settings are correct, of course)?

      Delete
    7. e7andy30 April, 2024 09:10

      Yes. You can get them all. Same with the badges without country restrictions like New Year's Eve and Day for many years back in time.

      I noticied that I lost Loy Kratong when a I got the King's Badge. Any way to avoid this?

      Delete
    9. e7andy02 May, 2024 20:15

      Make sure you don't make any edits to the activity that you used for getting the badge. As soon as an activity is edited in any way it will be evaluated for badges. If the country now is incorrect you will lose the badge.

      What is this Loy Krathong badge? I don't see it "announced" in garminbadges. Have we all missed this badge? I wonder how many other badges there can be that we don't know about, because nobody from the country syncs with garminbadges...

      Delete
    11. e7andy02 May, 2024 20:58

      All known badges are in the database. Loy Krathong is in November and there have been three years with that badge so far: 2021, 2022 and 2023.

    12. e7andy02 May, 2024 20:59

      I change that to "all existing badges are in the database". There are no missing badges.

      Yes. Germany, Spain, France, Denmark, Italy, Romania work. Adding them now. Not India. It seems like most European countries are working.

    I just received some email from garmin in Japanese. This is the 1st time I notice something "strange" is happening because on the country I choose :) I wonder if anyone noticed any difference regarding the country other than the badges we see and the marketing(?) emails we get from garmin?

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!

Image
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
