The Garmin Connect app is a great tool that pools all the data from your various Garmin devices and makes it easy to interpret, but it also has a social side – and it can get pretty competitive. Not only can you choose to compete against your friends to get the most steps, you can also earn badges to show off, and earn points that let you gradually ascend through an increasingly challenging series of levels.
The badges don't have any tangible value, but they're pretty, and it's hard to deny the little thrill that comes from adding a new one to your collection – so how about getting two for the 'price' of one?
