In reply to Garminiano. You can send me your poor quality, useless device, and I'll give it a good home.

Garmin is over, poor quality watches, super high prices, data that is useless, very bad pace measurement …

Reason for the meltdown: they just released “another” model. Now the line up is even more complicated and confusing the own servers don’t know how to deal with it.

Cool now I have to cancel my race because for whatever reason you can’t just send a route to your device via Bluetooth; you need to use their shitty Connect app which has been down for the last 3 or 4 days.

In reply to asd. Maybe not all of it but a good proportion of the data could sit on the phone. Or the user could get the option to download all their data and keep it safely stored somewhere!

In reply to Adrian. Which doesn't mean that Garmin couldn't keep the data on the phone, and then periodically sync with the cloud.

Bonjour,
Quelqu’un a-t-il de la visibilité sur le délai de rétablissement des services Garmin.
Je dois partir en randonnée et ne peux pas charger mes parcours sur ma montre.
Dommage, tant d’heures de planification pour rien !
C’est frustrant, surtout sans aucune communication officielle !
Sportivement.

“These sorts of problems make you wonder why Garmin does not store a copy of all your data locally on your smartphone.” There is no way that I would want all my Garmin data stored on my phone or any other device. I like services like Garmin because I can switch device at any time and all my data is up to date with zero storage costs to myself. I’ve got years of data on the Garmin servers.

This is the first time that I’ve encountered a Garmin issue like this and I’m sure it will be fixed soon. I can live with a little downtime every couple of years.

In reply to Bsing. Doubt it. They would have said something in advance.
