It's an improvement, been using it for a while as a tester. I don't know why there's a hard limit of 20 in the at a glance section but whatever
Running
A place for runners.
It adds the functionality to plan your own workout routes, which is a killer feature if you ask me. Can't do that on Strava without paying €€€ for their overpriced subscription
I still hate the activity summary screen. The old design, with some basic numbers in the three circles in the middle beneath the map, looked great, had better information density, and looked unique. The new one looks bland and generic, and has oodles of wasted blank space.
It saddens me that somebody over at Garmin got actually paid designing that.
I hopped on the beta and while the default layout after I did the questionnaire was terrible, I eventually got it to the point that I like it better than before.
It makes it easier to pay attention to some stats that matter to me more, and the small graphs in the In-focus section give me some quick insights on how I'm doing in various capacities. It's definitely not perfect and maybe could have spent a little longer cooking in beta, but overall I like it.
$brand did $thing and $metric is more/less (choose one) visible. I am engaged.
