Weight data used in Garmin Connect algorithm - Fenix 6

Dear community,

I have a Withings Body Cardio smart scale currently feeding in data from Withing's Health Mate app, through MyFitnessPal, into Garmin connect. The only data that gets through is the actual weight in kilos, the rest of the data that the Withings scale measure I can't find a way to automatically integrate to GC. I am using GC as my my fitness app as I have a Fenix 6 providing a lot of interesting data into it.

I am now thinking about buying a Garmin Smart Scale, but I would like to understand if the other data measurements such as Body fat and muscle mass provides any value into the Garmin algorithm for things such as calorie burn calculation or other things during activities? Or will other weight measurements be used in for example Body Battery or Stress calculation algorithms?

If the extra weight data is "just for fun", I might as well just keep it in the Withings Health Mate app, but if it provides valuable input to other Garmin algorithms, I am keen buying the Garmin Scale.

Anyone with insight into this?
