Yes, I use GB instead of Garmin Connect. I have been doing it for the last year (started Feb 2025). I have a Fenix 7X. It has been pretty great overall. GB shows a lot of information, and does everything I want, and nothing I don't... They recently added Health Connect functionality, which is really cool.

The only issue I've had was for a couple months I was having issues with my watch getting into a really bad state and needing a factory reset. It would reboot and then get stuck at "processing FIT files" (is something). I disabled auto syncing, since I theorized that maybe sometimes the sync would get interrupted or something, and Garmin firmware might freak out about it. Now I just occasionally manually sync, generally while sitting at my desk.

Besides that issue, I've loved GB. I finally donated last week, since I've gotten so much value from GB and they're doing such good work.
