Garmin Shortcuts: The Hidden Button Tricks I Use Daily

The article highlights Garmin shortcuts—formerly known as hot keys—as a hidden feature that lets you customize button presses to quickly access your most-used tools. By configuring shortcuts in the Settings (often under System), you can assign actions like launching the music player, starting timers, saving a location, or opening alarms. On five-button Garmins you can set up to seven shortcuts, enabling a clutter-free watch face while providing rapid access to frequent functions, a daily time-saver the author personally relies on.

Strava's Instant Workouts: Big Idea, Rough Execution

Strava’s Instant Workouts aims to deliver five weekly workouts across four categories with auto route suggestions, leveraging Runna data and subscription access. In practice, the feature is hampered by wonky pace estimates (often based on outdated data), impractical route ideas (such as looping around a block), and a lack of push-to-device support, with Garmin/Apple integration promised but uncertain. It has real potential to differentiate Strava if it fixes routing accuracy and adds seamless device syncing.
