GarminConnect+ is generating intense backlash from disgruntled Garmin users who are angry with the company’s new subscription service.
The answer gives the impression of no.
Users have been sharing their early experiences and the first impressions are not good.
Basic maths, generic platitudes, and outright incorrect information.
Here are 11 Garmin AI insights that might put you off paying for the privilege.
Basic math
This user shared insight into their intensity minutes.
Two thirds of the summary is the “AI” subtracting 115 from 300 to get 185.
Any user can see their activity data to glean their miles, time, and heart rate metrics.
Also, anyone who has spent hundreds of dollars on a Garminprobablyknows that being active helps maintain cardiovascular health.
Aquaman, is that you?
This is the first unhelpful/incorrect insight I found.
User Joshua apparently clocking a single-gas dive that lasted “an impressive 41 days and 6 hours.”
Unless Joshua is Aquaman, he probably didn’t spend all of March underwater.
Getting tired, explained
In theory, Active Intelligence Insights should synergize well with a feature like Body Battery.
However, this insight really just says that as the day goes on, you feel more tired.
It’s notwrong, but do you gotta pay $7 a month to learn that?
Sleep stress
This sleep stress insight was actually fairly good.
Here’s another very similar and generic step count summary.
Subtract the number of steps taken from the target goal, then tell the user to keep walking.
Couch to… couch?
Not wrong, per se, but also of little to no value whatsoever.
I want to reiterate the important caveats about Active Intelligence.
It’s a beta feature, and Garmin says the feature will get better over time.
