Weight Sync Issues with Withings/GC

Former Member

I have a Withings scale I sync through Apple Health, and then have Garmin Connect read the weight data from there. Everything was working fine until 5/9, and now the weight data is not being updated. I see the correct data in Withings and Apple but not Garmin. Any others seeing anything similar?

    I am not sure I have ever seen my Withings weight correctly propagete to GC through Apple Health. I know that the Strava iOS App correctly reads my weight off of Apple Health but GC iOS seems to be out of whack. I have explicitly granted privacy rights to read the weight of course.

    Is this supposed to be new functionality because as far as I know Garmin didn't want to play nice with Withings since they introduced their own scale ...

    Like I said, it worked since March when I got the 235. Don't know if it was just dumb luck or what... I didn't know if maybe an update in the last week or so broke it.

    I use a work-around to get withings scale measurements (and other non-garmin device data) into garmin connect or into an app that combines everything in one place because garmin and withings don't play nice, nor do a number of competing apps/devices. The trick is to set up a neutral "middleman" with links to garmin, apple health, withings, etc., (some examples that come to mind are: runkeeper, mfp, tapiriik, etc.). With these apps in place and linked up, you may see your weight data start populating garmin connect again...and if you happend to delete or disable one of those apps just before the start of the sync issues, that could have been the cause of the issue.

    Thanks for input csps. If I may ask, which one of the methods you mention do you actually use? Tapiriik?

    I think right now it's set to go from withings -> myfitnesspal -> garmin. It's been a while since I set them all up (I have a few more that aren't necessarily friendly, but I have managed to connect with workarounds.)
