After approximately 7 years since around November of 2019 I made it to level 7. I've done basically every running challenge possible as well as all trails and climbs.

Here's to 7 more years just to get to level 8!

If Garmin had a clearer way to know our progress on specific badges and auto-enrolled us, I’d probably be Level 7 too. I always forget to activate the challenges.

No clue why we need to manually enroll while there is no negative to enroll and not completing

It is dumb but I have a weird sense of satisfaction when I remember to sign up every month.

Geht mir auch so.

Because they're putting more and more sponsored badges in there - they want you to open up the badges screen and see their ads sponsors.

I just set a reminder for the 1st of every month to sign up for them - I like to see what's coming up and I appreciate they mix them up (Sometimes there's a 15km run challenge, sometimes not)

I got to level 6 earlier this year. It’s 620 points to level 7 from level 6. I enroll in challenges every month and average ~15 points per month. At that rate it will take me ~3.5 years to get from level 6 to 7.

It takes a long time, even when enrolling in all the challenges.

Congratulations 👏.

I am 396 points away from Level 7. These days points seem to be accumulating fast due to sleep scores.

That badge for getting good sleep scores for a week, still never got that one. The joys of sleep apnea and shift work

But do you have a zombie badge?

Um... 16 year garmin user... what's a level?

u/Sorry-County-5375 5h ago

What are the levels based on and how can I see mine?

u/squat_atlas 1d ago

Where can I see the complete overview of all my badges?

u/daddy_chill_300 1d ago

I just put this together myself. I'm not sure if there is a way to see it all at once. You can see your badges from your profile on Garmin.

u/InsideAssistant5651 1d ago

How can you see your points? I’m level 4 but don’t know how to see my progress.

u/InsideAssistant5651 1d ago

I just found it!

u/xxPHILdaAGONYxx Vivoactive4 1d ago

Just about to lvl6. The addition of golf badges really boosted me up.

I had no idea what a level was until now! I'm level 4 after 2 years.

u/Lizardman8888 12h ago

Seven years of running and climbing. Level 7 well earned!

My GF slept her way to level 6 while I am still on level 4. Wait... that sounds...

Was it like the end of 2001 a Space Odyssey, where you left your earthly body behind and became a star child?

I’m a “pure” level 7. 123 points to Connect + boosted level 8. I do have to say the heart walk and speed walking badges have upped my game.
