A much better month for badges than July has been 😊
ReplyDeleteI tried to get the "TRI Like the World's Best" badge by doing a 30 minute multisport activity made up of hiking and walking. The challenge description says "Complete a 20 minute triathlon or multisport activity" but I didn't get the badge. Does anyone know if we must specifically do a multisport made up of swimming, cycling and running?
ReplyDeleteI ran a few tests now. It seems like you must log a multisport activity that at least got one bike, one run and one swim. You can have more legs and the order doesn't matter.
DeleteIn my test I did run, bike, run, run and swim. I got the badge. If I removed the swim leg the badge disappeared. If I added it back the badge came back.
Good to know, thanks Andy 👍
DeleteAny idea if a treadmill run, indoor bike and swim will do the trick?
DeleteThat should work. I haven't tested it, but the important thing is to do some type of swim, run and bike.
DeleteHallo Andy zählen beim Tri Abzeichen jeweils Schwimm laufen und Radfahrern Aktivitäten von 20min oder reicht dort ein Triathlon von 20min
Delete@Matthias. 20 minutes total time for the triathlon is enough.
DeleteNo 15 km challenge in August ?
ReplyDeleteI cannot see "Therabody Sleep Challenge" badge
ReplyDeleteIt isn't available yet.
DeleteI don't see the sleeping badget it is only for some countries?
ReplyDeleteIt isn't available yet.
DeleteDo the bike miles in the TRI count towards Ride Like the World's Best?
ReplyDeleteWill I get that sleeping badge just when I switch the country on august 15th for a while? because in the meantime I want to get also National Day of Singapore - btw dont see it yet. And after that that I want to get Hari Kemerdekaan RI
ReplyDeleteWe can't know that until someone tests it. Often for these type of badges it doesn't matter if you log with the incorrect country if you switch to the correct country on the last day. So, if it works like that you only need to switch to the correct country on day 15.
DeleteNational Day of Singapore is not repeatable so you can only get it once. Hari Kemerdekaan RI is repeatable.
Both badges are available now if you switch to Singapore and Indonesia.
thank you e7andy, thats why I dont see them as I got them last year :)
DeleteHow about the Merdeka Day - is that badge repeatable?
DeleteQuickest way to know is to use the badge database and click the badge: https://garminbadges.com/
DeleteIt will have a label REPEATABLE if it is repeatable. In the overview there is also a circular arrow symbol.
It isn't repeatable.
Trying to get one of the badges that need First Avenger watch. I download the original strength activity fit file from Garmin Connect web, then change the device in fitfiletools.com but when I try to upload it it tells me the file is corrupt. How do you change the device? I think it's possible by downloading the tcx files, does anyone know where's the list of ProductID-s?
ReplyDeleteThe device ids are listed somewhere in the SDK, but I can't find them now.
DeleteI've written these downs since previously:
Rey™
3498
Darth Vader™
3499
Captain Marvel
3500
First Avenger
3501
I had the Singapore badge last week in offer, but today I don't see it among the available badges. Is anyone the same way?
ReplyDeletedo you have your country set to Singapore?
DeleteYes, I have... I tried change the country to Indonesia and the badge for it appeared, switched back to Singapore, and no badge in the offer
DeleteThe same thing happened to me. Do the badge shows to you Graviel?
DeleteGarmin has backdated the end date so it isn't available anymore.
DeleteJust checked and I don't see it either (I was in Italy for the Therabody badge) but I guess it's because of what e7andy wrote. But why do I still see it in my Google calendar then?
DeleteGoogle Calendar updates the calendars just a few times per day. I've just updated the dates, then it will take some time before the calendar files on my side is updated and after that it will take several hours before Google Calendar fetch the new files. I think that they only updates 1-2 times per day.
DeleteOh nooooo... why did they do it to me? I love Merlion and was so excited if I found this badge... bad, bad Garmin!
DeleteAnyone got the Garmin Ride Out 2024 badge? Is it enough to do a bike ride and change my country to the UK? Or it's like the race badges that you have to do the race course?
ReplyDeleteI have got the badge the same as I did in previous years. I did a 50 mile ride, then using fitfilerepairtools I imported the gpx file of the route, this can be found on the event website. Then I imported the new file and the badge appeared.
DeleteStevenD can you elaborate? I tried it but could not get the badge
DeleteIs there any problem with syncing of activities? Since morning, none of my walking activities are synced with Garmin Connect.
ReplyDeleteNo issues for me. 1 walk synced without problems a few hours ago.
DeleteBonjour à tous
ReplyDeleteJe suppose que pour obtenir un des badges Gravel il faut avoir effectué la course là bas ?
Merci
Yes. That is correct.
