    Nothing original again, it's a shame.
    He could make an effort and offer new badges and challenges.

    Indeed quite disappointing....no weekend walking, no July walking, no step into July. Seems less than usual available for July.

    Just earned the New Heights badge. With all the ones that are repeatable, why isn't this one? It seems like it should be.

    FYI Garmin fixed a bug in Garmin connect (android) so there's now an easy to remember way to change country: in Connect IQ click on your profile picture in the top-right corner, then click to Manage Garmin Account. It'll open the same account page, where we can change country.

    Anyone knows if Vivofit Jr kids watch is compatible with Garmin Connect and the badges, or it only has the "coins" with it's separate app? If not, then which is the cheapest band/watch that works with the badges?

      Garmin quote:
      "All Garmin fitness, wellness and golf devices will connect and share data with Garmin Connect. Although Fitbit® devices aren’t supported, you can manually import some Fitbit data."

      But some badges is not possible, to earn them, because it has not barometr etc,

      Thank you! 5 new badges for doing group rides. 1 to 200. I can't add them before I see them in Garmin Connect, but I will keep an eye open for them.
      Let me know when you see them.

      Anyone know how to get the Make your mind up badge? Have completed swims in both open water and pool modes in the metres and yards but don't get rewarded the badge.

      Have also edited the swims as suggested on the Web and this doesn't seems to have any effect ethier.

      Not a biggie but annoying!

      @John. The "secret" is to select the pool size on the watch before the swim. One time in meters and another time in yards. I think the badge is only for pool swimming.

      Tried that earlier but it's a lovely day for a swim so will give it another go 😁

    5. e7andy18 July, 2024 11:24

      Note that it is the pool size that should be changed. Not the units on the watch.

    6. John18 July, 2024 14:52

      It might be a time thing as I swam over 10 mins on both sets and I've been awarded the badge now?

      Little things and all that!

      Bonsoir Andy
      Les badges Groupe Ride sont parus sur Connect. Sais tu si quelles conditions sont nécessaires pour les obtenir ?
      Merci

      Thanks. They are now added.
      I can only read what the support pages say: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=CsDnTwCogr3tc3aQeIvtZ8
      You need an Edge 540, 840, 1040, 1050 or Explore 2.
      I believe you can do the GroupRides on your own so you don't have to actually ride in a group. Just start the GroupRide and it will count for the badges.
      I don't see any workaround for other devices than the listed ones.

      I looked for the badges but they were never published in Garmin Connect...at least I didn't see them.
      In the race site two badges were listed, but Garmin only announced one of them.
      Did you get any badge? What is the ID of the badge? If you open developer console and look at the network traffic you can see the request made when you click the badge.

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
