If you track your runs (and bike rides, and all your other exercise) with a Garmin device, you’ve probably already found its gear tracking features. This is how I realized I'd put over 1,000 miles on my favorite Nikes.
Until recently, the usefulness stopped there. But in a new (free) update, Garmin has introduced a ton of new gear tracking features, including one I’ve been hoping for ever since I bought my first pair of trail shoes.

Garmin Connect (the phone app that syncs with your Garmin watch or other device) has a revamped set of features for the Gear section, which you’ll find under the More menu in the bottom right corner of the app.
More gear types
A database of existing brands and models
You can create “collections” of gear that are used together
Gear stats are now viewable from your watch
Credit: Beth SkwareckiThe new update delivers similar functionality to my Garmin, alongside a lot more detail. You can now choose to automatically add a given gear item to any activity your watch can track. For example, I can still set a shoe to be added automatically to “all Running” and that will be the same behavior as before. But I can also set my beloved (muddy, ripped-up, long-suffering) trail shoes as the default for trail running, and my nice new Nike Downshifters (1,000 mile target) as the default for the regular “run” activity. If I had a shoe I kept in my gym bag for the treadmill, I could set a separate default for treadmill runs as well.
Collections help you manage multiple gear items
You can view and change your gear right from your watch
So far there's no overall gear viewer on the watch (I was hoping for a glance) but you can see your gear options under the activities. Select an activity—say, Run—and you'll see which shoe or gear is assigned to it by default. If you'd like to change the default, you can scroll down and select a different shoe, or decide not to log a shoe at all. When you look at each shoe, you can see a bar showing how many miles you've put on the gear compared to the lifespan you've entered.
