GCM - HealthKit Sync Issues

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi everyone,

I know there are already a couple of threads on this topic, but I wanted to create an overview of the bugs I have noticed, to check if you have noticed the same, or if I am maybe I am wrong on these points.

"Steps" and "Heart Rate" data is written to HealthKit (HK) only on the next day. There is no such delay for the other items, and no reason I can think of why this should be like that, so I assume this is a bug
For "Walking + Running Distance", "Active Energy", "Resting Energy", "Flights Climbed" only the current day is written to HK. Past days' data is deleted again when syncing.
"Walking + Running Distance" actually contains also cycling distance, and - I assume - all distances from all activities. (This seems to be the same mistake as on the "Step Details" card in GCM - the distance there is confusingly not only related to steps)

Do you agree? Anything I am missing? I have the fenix 3 HR in case this is relevant.

BTW, the FAQ item here does not explain any of these issues.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Agreed - for the first time it appears that Garmin's steps appear right away in Apple Health. Amazing. Considering the time it took Garmin to achieve this remarkable feat I suspect they either finally bought that "iOS App Development for Dummy's" book or hired a new intern. ;)

Steps are appearing, but only steps and sleep time stays in Apple health. I really hope they will leave also other stats (now it is available only for one day, then it is removed). And hope they will import e.g. Training info from health...

just gotten my Fenix3HR.

Anybody know when does Health App sync with GMC? Is there anyway to force sync it? As mine is still at yesterday data.

Same here, only past data got sync, not today's

It’s been almost a year and sync issues still exist. My top issue with the sync is that at the end of the day, Garmin Connect often sends the wrong data point of 0 miles for Walking + Running Distance even if I’ve ran some miles and the activity tracker has tracked some miles.

To remedy this, I delete the data point of 0 mikes that Garmin sent to Apple Health and then resync. That seems to do the trick.

Will this and other sync issues get fixed?
