Garmin Connect Survey

[wc1934]

Anyone else received this email - any idea what it is all about?

Dear Garmin Customer:

You are invited to take the following optional survey. Please see the link below. You have received this invitation because you are a registered user of the Garmin Connect website. This email was ordered by a United States federal district court in a lawsuit involving Pacing Technologies and Garmin. You are not required to participate in this survey. This survey is a one-time event, and you will not be contacted for this matter again unless you consent and provide your contact information at the end of the survey.

The survey relates only to the following products: Forerunner 310XT, 405, 405CX, 410, 610, and 910XT; Edge 200, 500, 510, 800, and 810; and Garmin Swim.

If you are not a U.S. resident, if you have not used or purchased one of the above-mentioned Garmin fitness products, or if you are presently or formerly a Garmin employee, please disregard this communication.

If you wish to participate in the survey, please click the following link.

I've been using Garmin Connect for the last several years, and I did not receive the email. Sounds kind of funny to me. I would not click the link. But if there is a suit against Garmin, I hope Garmin wins.

It was circulated by SurveyMonkey and looked to be legit to me.

[HugoBear]

I got it. Have used Garmin Connect for a long time but did not open up the email.

I just got it. Who is going to volunteer to be the tester?

[djg21]

I completed it too.

I did complete the monkeysurvey - I was not questioning the validity of the email, rather seeing input as to its purpose/intent (i.e. what is the suit all about).

Bought an 800 two months ago and also got the survey.

Looks like a patent troll just looking for money - not sure I want to help them.

I think a growing use for Garmin Connect is to make things like Humana Fit to Humana Vitality work. A real growing trend in employer provided medical insurance is linking premiums to wellness program participation. I think little software tools like this will really grow in usage over time.

I received it too but didn't participate since it was not from Garmin.

The email derived from a @garmin.com email. If it wasn't from them, someone is trying hard to fake it.
