I have two smartwatches: a Garmin Vivoactive and a Chronos Smart Disc. I'm using Apple Healthkit so it records all my info and steps in one place. The Chronos connects fine and records the data automatically to Apple Health. The Garmin, however, takes a lot of time and energy to send its data to Apple Health. I usually have to uninstall/reinstall the Garmin Connect app to get Apple Health to pull data off of it. I turned off my iPhone 7's sensor for steps and put the Garmin Connect as my top data source, but I still have to mess with the settings every day to get it to record the data to Apple Health. It'll work fine and update for the rest of that day, but then won't communicate with the Connect app the next day and I have to start all over again.
I have lost an activity which Garmin is claiming has corrupted. The run is showing on my watch but won't transfer over to the Connect App. When I have connected to my laptop I can't seem to find the file to manually import the run from my Vivosport to Garmin Connect. When I open the ACTIVITY folder there is no data there at all. Use Garmin Express to update maps and software, sync with Garmin Connect™ and register your device. This desktop software notifies you when updates are available and helps you install them. DOWNLOAD FOR MAC DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS.
Anyone running into this?
