Got a Garmin Feature Idea? I Might Build It for You
Every watchface and app I've shipped — including Goals Pro — started as a request on the public idea board. Drop your idea, vote on others, and you might see it on your wrist next.
Day 115: Got a Feature Idea? Drop It on the Board
Every app and watchface I build gets shaped by what people actually ask for — and I love getting feedback and new ideas so I can keep improving the Garmin experience wherever I can.
There's a public idea board where you can submit feature requests, browse what other users have already asked for, and vote on the ones you'd want to see built. If enough people want the same thing, I build it.
It's already worked
Goals Pro is a direct example — it's purely based on ideas that came through the board. The long-press-to-open-app shortcut, the analog hands option, the extra font sizes: all requests I could see piling up, ranked by votes.
How to use it
- Browse existing requests to see what's already been asked for — and vote if you want it too
- Submit your own idea if you don't see it listed
- Popular, well-voted requests get built first
Go add your idea. You might just see it on your wrist.

Most runners only look at pace, distance, time, and heart rate. Cadence — your steps per minute — is one of the best signals for why a run feels harder than it should.
