Update 11
While servers are still down, outrage is growing over Garmin’s poor handling of this outage.
Poor social media efforts by @GarminUK@GarminFitness on a day with a major @garminconnect outage. The latter account has only tweeted once . Ever. They probably don’t have a social media team. @StravaStatus does update frequently at least .
— Richard Exley (@DrRichEx) February 17, 2019
Update 12
Even Garmin Connect’s official website is down at the moment.
Update 13
Sorry for late update, but all Garmin Connect systems were back up a few hours later. Check out current status here. However, some users are reportedly still facing issues
