Garmin Badge Database 2.0 - Now Live at garminbadges.com

Garmin Badge Database is officially live at garminbadges.com. The site has been completely rebuilt with a stack of new features. Here's just some of what's new.

Badge details popup

Clicking any badge now opens a quick-view overlay showing the badge image, description, dates, target value, and how many people have earned it - without leaving the page. Right-click or Ctrl+click still opens the full detail page.

Challenge tracking - Completely redesigned

The challenges page has been rebuilt from scratch. Challenges are grouped by month, sortable by every column, and a new Done by column calculates when you'll finish at your current daily pace. There's also a compact view that fits far more challenges on screen at once with all the same information.

Completed challenges

A new section at in the challenges page shows badges you completed this month, with earned date, target, and points.

Hide badges you don't care about

Not every badge is for everyone. You can now hide individual badges from your public profile, keeping your Available list focused on what you actually want to earn. Open any profile in edit mode and toggle visibility badge by badge. Hidden badges are only hidden from your public view; you can always unhide them again.

Hide users from leaderboards

You can now hide specific users from your own leaderboard view and badge earner lists. Find someone on the leaderboard and click the eye icon, or use the Hide button on their profile. You can manage hidden users from your Dashboard.

Profile page improvements

The profile page has new filters for finding badges, a faster badge popup on click, and a cleaner header with compact action buttons.

Dark mode, density & mobile

The site now has a proper dark mode, a density setting (Default / Compact / Dense) for tighter layouts on any screen size, and full mobile support throughout.

Chrome extension updates

The Chrome extension now automatically finds an open Garmin Connect tab when you click Sync, no need to switch tabs first. It also tracks virtual challenges and available badges with progress targets.

Head to garminbadges.com to check it out. If you haven't synced yet, grab the script or Chrome extension from the sync data page.

    I've sent the updated Chrome Extension to Chrome Web Store and are waiting for it to be approved.

    Hi Andes great job, on the update.
    Just getting used to the new format. Think I prefer Green to blue if I am ahead of schedule, but it looks great. It seems to give me all the stats I am looking for and I like the hiding of the badges completed in the tab below.

      Thank you. I've switched to green as a test and I think I like it better as well so I will keep that. Good suggestion.

    Respekt, the new site turned out great! Thank you for all the work you have invested in it!

    I have a small request:
    Could you add a "Show outdated" tab under "More" on the Page „My Badges“?

    And for your information:
    The badges "Ride with the Pros 2026" has been removed by Garmin and the challenge is currently not available in the Tacx app.

      * Badge "Ride with the Pros 2026" is removed.

    Hey Andy, just a bit of quick feedback for you to consider. On the Analytics Dashboard, where the cards show "Earned this year" and "Points this year," the percentage underneath compares it to the previous year (e.g., -18%).

    I think this feature is great, but you might want to consider changing the logic slightly to compare it to the same time last year (Year-to-Date). For example, comparing how many points were earned up until June 12th, rather than against the entire 12 months of 2025. I think this would make the comparison a lot more meaningful!

    Anyway, thanks again for all your effort on this!

      Thank you! Very good feedback.

      I've fixed the stats cards so they compare the same period last year.
      Major update to the year comparison graph. You can now compare any and multiple years.
      Added a new graph for accumulated points and earns where you can compare any and multiple years.

    Update:
    * The Chrome extension just got a lot easier to use. In the lower right corner of Garmin Connect there is a floating button that triggers the sync.
    * Supporter analytics - Major updates to the comparison charts to be able to compare any and multiple years.
    * My Badges page - The sections are now collapsible so you can easily hide the available badges when you want to look at the earned badges.

    Upcoming:
    * A watch glance and app is finished and waiting for review by Garmin. First version was declined since they didn't accept that I called it "Garmin Badges" because I had the word "Garmin" in it. The new name is "Badge Tracker".
    * An Android app is finished and waiting for review by Google. It is used for syncing your badges from Garmin to the site.

    Hi @e7andy - Could you add the ability to sort the leaderboard by unique badges? Thanks!

      Done! Added a toggle for switching between total earns, total points and unique badges.
      I see why you want the list sorted that way :-)

      Very Good, e7andy! Just a small or medium size problem. Look at the review on Garmin Connect IQ.

    2. e7andy18 June, 2026 16:09

      Thank you for the report. I will check into that. It should remove all completed challenges as soon as they are synced to the site and the data in the watch app is updated.

    3. e7andy18 June, 2026 17:50

      The issue is now fixed. It was the backend that returned incorrect data.
