Garmin Connect - How to sync replacement vivofit to merge with previous vivofit data

Hi, my vivofit died and is off warranty so I bought a new one. I want to sync it with my current connect account history but I'm afraid to try in case it deletes the history from the previous vivofit. Is there a way to do this that ensures my new vivofit data will be seamlessly added to my old vivofit history ... e.g. steps and sleep data are the only important data for me.
  • Your history is by account so just add your new vivofit to the same account. It will ask you if you want to make it the default tracker. Say yes ands you should be good to go.

    Just tried your suggestion and it worked great! Thank you very much!!
  • I am in same situation. It says that the device is already linked and i have to delete the data. I dont want to lose my history. How can i differentiate the new vivofit 2 from the old one? 

  • Just pair your VF2 with your phone and make sure you log into the same account of the old VF. DO NOT create a new account. If it's linked to another account, was this a refurb?

  • I recall at one point that I had two accounts, one under my Hotmail address and one under margo_lyn at verizon dot com. We merged them but I don’t recall which one I should use. The Garmin that seems to have died is a refurb. The “new” one I bought off ebay in the box. I believe it is new. 

  • Nothing on Garmin Connect for the verizon account..

    But I do see the hotmail account.
