Garminis renowned for the accuracy of the data its wearables capture - and we’re talking about alotof data. Most of this information gets dumped into the brand’s wearable companion app, Garmin Connect, where it stays buried for the rest of eternity, as the app is notoriously hard to navigate.

Today’s Activityis where you can view the day’s logged activities, upcoming workouts, plus any events that are coming up within the next two days.In Focusprovides an in-depth look at specific health and fitness metrics, including sleep score, Body Battery energy monitoring, training status and more, as well as a weekly view of activity trends that can be customised to show preferred activities.

At a Glanceis a customisable sub-dashboard which can include performance stats such as heart rate, intensity minutes, steps, calories burned, stress, floors climbed, hydration, fitness age, HRV status, VO2 max, training load, heat and altitude acclimation, endurance score, etc.

Events, Training Plans and Challenges are pretty self-explanatory; if you have events added to your Garmin calendar, an active Garmin Coach plan or are doing any Garmin Challenges, you’ll find those in these sections.

Starting today, select customers using Garminsmartwatches, cycling computers, and accessories can opt-in to try the beta version of Garmin Connect before it is available to everyone later this year.
