How to Cancel Garmin Connect+ in 2026 (Your Watch Still Works)

Updated February 2026 · 3 min read

Garmin Connect+ costs $6.99/month ($69.99/year) for AI-powered workout suggestions, advanced analytics, and personalized coaching. Your Garmin watch's core features — GPS, heart rate, activity tracking, sleep — all work without it.

How to Cancel

1. Go to connect.garmin.com/modern/settings
2. Sign in → Subscription
3. Click Cancel Subscription
4. Confirm — features revert when billing period ends

If subscribed via Apple or Google:

• iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Garmin → Cancel
• Android: Google Play → Subscriptions → Garmin → Cancel

What You Keep vs. Lose

• Keep (free): GPS tracking, heart rate, sleep tracking, activity history, Connect app syncing, Garmin Coach (free training plans), all watch features
• Lose (Connect+): AI workout suggestions, advanced training readiness, extended weather, enhanced sleep coaching, personalized daily workout recommendations

For most fitness users, the free Garmin Connect app provides everything needed. Connect+ is a nice-to-have for data nerds, not a must-have for fitness tracking. Your $300-800 watch works perfectly without it.

Free Fitness Alternatives

• Garmin Connect free: All core features, training plans, activity tracking
• Strava free: Social fitness tracking, route planning, segment challenges
• Nike Run Club (free): Guided runs and training plans
