Garmin Insight into your…

Fun tidbits about the Insight reports, and blurbs, that Garmin gives Users about their bodies. Yes, I do read those insight notifications and find them fascinating. This is just part 1 of a series. I am recording them as they appear on my watches and then an 11-minute video, or longer, will be released publically. Thank you, Members, for your support...

This video is very funny!

[@PeterHerget]

Glad to entertain and inform...

[@Jay-sd9ye]

I never use body battery. I know how I feel.

[@PeterHerget]

Your internal "Body Battery", yes, it is the best, and most accurate gauge for health. I wonder though in the year 2026 if Garmin, Amazfit, Apple, Samsung, Google/Fitbit, ŌURA Ring, Ultrahuman, and maybe 22 other orgs will have the hardware and software to truly give us 97.9% consistent, and accurate, readings about our energy, recovery, stress, glucose, and more...

The newest Garmin device i have is the 1st gen Instinct Solar but it has the body battery feature as well. It sthe devicw i wear most

[@PeterHerget]

That is cool about the Instinct 1.0 Yeah, I truly LOVE, and enjoy, the Body Battery health stats!

[@digitallyunbalanced]

Sounds like pretty good insight from a watch.

[@PeterHerget]

Oh yeah, and fun to view a few times each day. I think Garmin will continue to improve its accuracy.

[@FiremanFrach]

Hi Peter. Even the original (standard) Instinct/Instinct solar have the body battery.

[@PeterHerget]

Let me check...

[@FiremanFrach]

@@PeterHerget There’s a widget and it’s on the Garmin connect app.

[@PeterHerget]

@FiremanFrach Yes, you are correct 👍🏻 I am wearing my sunburst yellow Garmin Instinct Solar since 0700 this morning and my Body Battery is at 60 😊

[@FiremanFrach]

@@PeterHerget You're so healthy. 😁 Good to hear. 👍

[@PeterHerget]

I get out of bed each day and try my best just like everyone else. Thank you.

[@Melaqua]

I want a real body battery that powers my watch

[@PeterHerget]

Me too and perhaps in the year 2027...?

[@DimiArt]

In the next few years Elon will turn you into a real body battery that powers his machines

[@user-ur4lv4zh4h]

My wife lives by Body Battery and I refuse to use or trust it. Of course she's always referring to it: "See! It works!" and to be honest...it often does...so I am just stubborn or cheap

[@PeterHerget]

Body Batter is accurate enough to please the human mind and place at ease the average User’s ancestry- that much I have learned over the past plethora of months 😉

[@ELRG55]

Body battery is low when I feel great and high when I feel tired and drained. I figured out a long time ago that its completely worthless. I bought a chest strap and take HRV every morning and thats more accurate (but still not perfect)

[@PeterHerget]

Interesting is your perspective on Body Battery. As I have said for years, yes, whatever floats your boat. As much as I vlog about Body Battery, no, it is not 100% my coach and path to exercise or not. I always listen to my body and mind...

[@user-ur4lv4zh4h]

Peter, would you say Garmin is better in this compared to Coros?

[@PeterHerget]

As far was workout tracking, heart ♥️ rate accuracy, GPS accuracy/consistency, well… I have discovered over the last 17 months that COROS versus Garmin is a tie game. Garmin has a stronger ecosystem with their Leaderboard, Competitions, Challenges, Badges, etc., but other than that COROS makes the Pace 3 and it is only $229, lasts me for two weeks, and it is a fabulous smart sports watch! I have another video about COROS nearly done after collecting months of workout, sleep, and daily wear 🤓

[@dziz86]

Hello Peter, when you record video with Balance how he can voice answering on messages??

[@PeterHerget]

Can I answer a voicemail using my Amazfit Balance? Or does the voicemail message get sent to my Balance watch?

[@dziz86]

@@PeterHerget i mean - example, you got message via sms, messenger, whatsapp and then you use AI and talk to watch example "answer Paul,i be back on 1 hour", could you test it?

[@PeterHerget]

I shall test that very scenario for you ✅

[@DjSkillerTV]

When I had Garmin Fenix 6x pro for the first time, It was working well. I was wearing it for something like 8-12 moths and I sold it. I bought it back again, it is around 1,5 weeks and I need to say that sometimes it shows quite alright score. But most of the times it is wrong or there are fluctuations. It is a great tool, but It is not perfect. It should be more precise. The whole ecosystem lacks of multiple things. Like caffine intake, drugs, alcohol, your personal score how do you feel. Etc. There are literally bugs in garmin ecosystem that are not fixed for a fucking years. There are small things missing. That I kinda lose hope in this company.

[@PeterHerget]

Yep, I sported the fēnix 7x too for over a year and I felt is was accurate. Tracking caffeine, medicine, alcohol, sugar, and the other four food groups, yes, is important. I think in my lifetime, yes, gadgets will be tracking a plethora of more things. And nope, Garmin is far from perfect. For the most part, I would say that my "Body Battery" score is around 60 to 80% accurate depending on the day.
