Garmin weight sync from Garmin connect to TrainerRoad

Collecting the data is the first step to using the data. Obviously, TR hasn’t been prioritizing the collection of weight data.

You’ve stated multiple times that the data collection wouldn’t be used in a way that would do anything because its too noisy or fluctuates too much. Whether its too noisy or fluctuates to much to be useful isn’t really the ask, but it’s what you’re pointing to as a way of dismissing the ask.

As an attempt to show TR what they’re potentially missing, and to refute your dismissal, I’m pointing out examples where even with fluctuations and noise, I can find insights elsewhere that TR cannot show me … because they haven’t taken the first step in collecting it whereas other places like Intervals has. Is that directly useful? Maybe, maybe not. But you can’t know that until you first measure it to analyze it.

Again, step one would be TR collecting the data. That’s all people seem to be asking for right now. What happens after that, and how the data is analyzed and presented is up to TR. I think they’re pretty insightful and could figure out some cool things to do with the data and analysis even beyond what I’ve show above.

I have, and it’s one of the reasons I have the 42 day rolling average line in my weight graph on Intervals. TR could even build whatever they could do with weight data to show only a rolling average rather than the daily fluctuations. Just because they collect it doesn’t mean they have to use it raw. Jonathon could keep the tape on his scale and only look at an average on TR if they would build it.

Agreed.

I disagree that this is the reason people want it now.
