I wish they also stop showing the challenges you don't participate on the top. Maybe hide option?

What version? I don't see it yet

It's probably a tiered roll out.

Many developers of apps with larger userbases will roll out updates to a subset of users and wait a few hours to a few days before sending it out to everyone.

This gives them a little time to patch any inevitable bugs that pop up without affecting their entire userbase.

Now if only we could filter out challenges we dont care about, that would be great.

You can filter by activity in this update.

I see that my comments was very unprecise. Great that the filter on top exists for challenges you have joined, but i would love to see a feature where i could define what type of activities i do in my profile for example and only get those kind of challenges. As of today i have to navigate through all kinds to join the ones i care about each month.

Even an “I don’t have an avengers or Star Wars watch” would filter out 30 or 40 of them (probably an exaggeration, but come on, Garmin-you know what kind of watch I have, you know I can’t do this even if I wanted to).

I think this is some sort of subtle marketing, since they have truckloads of models that even hardcore fans sometimes don’t know about. If wasn’t for the challenges I wouldn’t know that there’s an avengers watch series and a Star Wars series

Ah right, I understand. I would also love that feature!

I agree, this was a welcomed visual update!

Question about challenges... why do we have to opt into them at all? Like I regularly walk 100K steps in a month, but often forget to check challenges each month to opt in. It would be nice if, after completing a challenge, signed up or not, Garmin let you know about it.

I think I owned my watch for several months before I even knew they were there.

This is definitely a change I really like and makes a lot of sense.

Hello everyone, I got the update, not not able to figure out how exactly do I get to see this in app? Can someone guide. Thanks

Edit iam on android, I did get the update today.

It looks very nice and they also updated the panel with new challenges at the top - there is now a dedicated join button under each new challenge.

But where did the leaderboard for connections go? I can't see who has how many points, or how many steps/week my connections and I have taken. The latter was one of my favorite features
