The Garmin Connect Mobile app for Windows 10 was released on the Windows Store at the end of last year. Since then, it has been updated a few times but generally hasn’t received any important new features.

Now, version 1.3 has been rolled out and it seem to be a big one sporting many new features. So, if you have a Garmin fitness device synched to your Windows 10 system, you definitely need to make sure you’re running the latest version: 1.3.1.0.

The app looks very clean and sleek on all kind of devices according to feedback coming from users. If you don’t have it yet, go ahead and download it from the Windows Store.

When it comes to fitness tracking devices, Fitbit is king of the hill, but Garmin is still a veteran in this segment and still makes some great products.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
