Garmin Scale vs Another Scale that syncs with apple heath

Yes.

I have a Taylor smart scale that connects to it's own app via Bluetooth, which shares my weight with Apple Health, which in turn is shared with GC Mobile.

I use a Withings scale (with which I'm very happy, unlike their poor Pulse tracker); the Withings app integrates with MyFitnessPal, which in turn integrates with the Garmin platform, so my weight syncs quickly and flawlessly into Garmin. Clearly the Taylor scale also integrates as shown above, and I imagine the Fitbit scale would also integrate via MyFitnessPal if nothing else.

I had a Fitbit Aria scale and now have a Withings WS-30. I had them connected to MyFitnessPal and MyFitnessPal connected to Garmin Connect. I could never get my weight to sync across from either platform to Garmin Connect unless I manually initiated a sync with MyFitnessPal from Garmin Connect. I am also using a Fitbit Tracker which I would sync on demand through my phone unless my computer was running. That stopped syncing steps across to MyFitnessPal a few days ago when I got the Withings scale.

I have my Fitbit account connected directly to my Withings account and it receives weight readings no problems.

Is there some trick to getting the readings to sync across automatically to Garmin Connect? Is it because I wasn't using a Garmin activity tracker? I might try using the activity tracker function in my 230 over the weekend and see if that makes a difference. It would be an interesting comparison to my Fitbit One.

It seems my choice of step source was what caused my weight readings not to sync across to Garmin Connect. I have been using my 230 as an activity tracker and set that as the step source in MyFitnessPal and now my weight syncs across automatically from Withings to MyFitnessPal and on to Garmin Connect.

I have just experienced the same issue. My Withings Body weight was not syncing to GC. I was using iPhone as the data source for steps in MFP. After I change it to the "Withings Pulse" option (a device I don't have) then the weight syncs correctly to GC.

But the Withings is just a weight scale so if the source for steps in MFP isn't set to iPhone then how is it going to record my steps?

Best I can suggest is to use a dedicated activity tracker, someting by Garmin. I much prefer using my Garmin 230 now to the Fitbit One i used to use. as it does more than just tell the time.

Personally, I wouldn't want to always have my phone on me just to record steps. From my experience it's best to have everything the same brand.
