It's weird that everything Garmin related is down. I wonder if they got hacked or something similar and just took everything offline.
Their response is also weird, seems like internal infrastructure is also down.
"We are currently experiencing an outage that affects Garmin Connect, and as a result, the Garmin Connect website and mobile app are down at this time. This outage also affects our call centers, and we are currently unable to receive any calls, emails or online chats. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and apologize for this inconvenience."

- usrusr 6y agoProbably after losing a few rounds of whack-a-mole with partial shutdowns. Might even be a better customer experience, a few days of a clear "Garmin is down, do everything with cables like they did back in 2010" is much less frustrating to deal with than all the services being in some form of flaky brownout state where nothing ever works reliably and you keep trying and failing.
