What it does
Garmin Connect is the mobile and web companion for recording, analyzing and sharing activity from Garmin devices. It presents activity history, health-data summaries, training views, challenges and connections with friends.
The practical starting point is pairing the Garmin device you already use. The official workflow moves from installing Connect to recording activity on the device and reviewing it in the service. This is useful context if you are comparing it with an app intended to record everything directly on a phone.
The dashboard can be arranged around the statistics you follow, with weekly, monthly and yearly views. Garmin Coach is linked for workout guidance, while challenges and groups support shared activity. Begin with a few measurements that help you understand your routine before adding more dashboard items.
