Have any of you got a Garmin tracker?
I bought one last week, I took my dog for a walk, pressed the walk bit on it but when I checked it there was no walk data, then I found it under'other' & it was classed as a run, I sometimes walk quite fast but it wasn't a power walk...any idea why it's saying no walk data??

    You mean a Garmin watch kind of thing? Or is it a daily activity tracker? In my experience with Garmin products, which is limited to their running watches (I've had 2 different models) they classify everything as a run and if you want it to show as a walk you have to edit it yourself. You won't earn extra calories above what you should if you leave it as a "run" though; really I wouldn't worry about it

    Thanks. Yes it's an activity type. Vivosmart,is supposed to track walking I think?
    Like you said it doesn't really matter though ☺
