r/Garmin

Hi, I (20M) was wondering why my VO2 max is currently rising after every run. In the months before it didn’t really change that much, while I’m doing roughly the same training. I weigh around 73kg. I run 1-3 times per week, but mostly two times. One long run or interval and one easy run. Or sometimes a long run and an interval in the same week. Also, most weeks I play around 60 minutes of a football match on Saturdays. Thanks in advance.

I decided to take a break from my phone but started to missing calendar events and weather forecast fast. Then I remember that I actually have it all in my watches!!!

Spent a day porting the Garmin BLE protocol from Gadgetbridge's Java code to Python. It connects over BLE, does the handshake, and responds to the watch's requests.

What works:

Weather via OpenWeatherMap, Calendar sync from URLs (supports multiple calendars) (Google , Nextcloud, etc)

Implemented Todos list pushed as persistent notifications. It works so far, but notifications is not the best thing for that. Currently it uses config files but I am planning to code proper integration with popular todo manager.

What doesn't:

- Desktop notification mirroring (not yet)

- Music controls

- Alarms (not yet)

Uses bleak for bluetooth, no Garmin SDK needed.

If anyone's curious what else is possible with this protocol: (music controls, find my laptop(lol), desktop notifications from laptop, waypoints sync)

Am I wearing this wrong? Am I really this bad at sleeping? Is it impossible to get a decent sleep score? Lol

It’s basically saying I haven’t slept or rest at all… even though I have. Body battery

Perks or downside depending on how you look at it. Being inactive for so many hours a week sucks but at least my recovery time goes down I guess

Honestly can’t think of anything I did differently last night, but I do feel pretty good. Woke up naturally and felt very relaxed.

any one got any experience about setting up for hyrox type training? Create a workout in Garmin connect or choose what type of activities?

First time getting mythical sleep after using Garmin for about a year and a half.

Nothing major, just feeling proud of the progress. Training for a marathon in 9 days and a 70.3 in a couple of months.

Nice to see Garmin giving me extra confidence that my fitness has been increasing.

not sure how 😂

I’ll take it

I’ve had my watch two years almost to the day. Worked fine all day, put it on charge while I showered, came back and it’s doing this. Completely frozen on the screen, sensors aren’t working, buttons do nothing, it won’t reconnect to my phone. I’ve tried force restarting and nothing 😩 I have a 100 day step streak I really don’t want to lose!! Does anyone have any idea what I can do to make it do SOMETHING??

I’m trying to get back into running after an injury and just put down a goal to run a 39 min 5km (7:48/km pace) in July and the workouts it’s suggesting are so intense. 6 minutes at a 5:25 pace seems a bit aggressive when I can barely do a 7:30/km 3km run currently. An hour running is also pretty long for the second week of workouts.

I would do DSW but I don’t have them on my Fenix.

I decided on divorce a week ago after months of hesitation that turned into depression, and started SSRI at about the same time. I expected my HRV to absolutely tank since that's the general experience after starting SSRI. Turns out it's the opposite for me.

Been on status unproductive for a few weeks now and can’t seem to snap out of it… I noticed my vo2max has been dropping, can it be the reason?
