Garmin connect doesn't write heart rate data to Apple Health

Former Member over 5 years ago

I'm using either:

- Forerunner 410 (I know!) into Garmin via ant+ dongle

- Edge 520 into Garmin Connect

Neither of these pushes heart rate data to Apple Health. I've given permission in Health for Garmin Connect to write and read every single field. Distances and pace, etc. come across, but nothing at all for heart rate. I wear a Garmin HR strap with both devices.

I've looked at other threads which seems to have the same problem, but they are from a long time ago and / or have no responses.

Is this a known issue or should there be a fix?

Thanks

Same problem and I cannot find a fix.

I decided to ditch my Garmin to get around it

Actually the ‘fix’ is to download the .fit file from Garmin connect and then upload into health via an app like HealthFit

I have the same problem with my Edge 1000.

No hr data is transferred to the health app from Garmin connect.

I have to start a workout on my Apple watch (using HeartWatch app) also to get hr data from the workout into the Health app.

i am using a nice PAI Health app that computes points based on hr data so it would be nice to get this fixed.

Since you all are iOS users, I wanted to bring your attention to a post that has been trending for the purpose of improving the communication between Garmin Connect and Apple Health. Please see my comment on page 19.

Request for improvement on how Garmin Connect writes data to Apple HealthKit SDK
