=Connect IQ Limitations=
Garmin are continuing to actively develop Connect IQ and expand its capabilities. There are a few limitations that have annoyed me and I feel are worth mentioning.
* So far, the Garmin watches can only have two data fields active for any given workout type. That makes sense, as you don't want the functionality to slow down or impair the functionality of the watch, but two is rather a low number.(The Garmin 735XT supports 3 fields.)
* There's no access from a data field to the data from Garmin's [[Running Dynamics]], which I think would be a valuable source of data for calculated values.
* You can't access [[Heart Rate Variability]] data from a data field.
