try looking at their FAQ inside the app, maybe you have turned on autodetect activity on google fit that block syncing if I remember well

I have checked what you said but I have not found such a setting to turn off. Could you precise where I could find it please?

Thanks for your answer

I have it under settings (inside google fit), unable "monitoring your activity". But you can find it inside the FAQ, there is a list of possible problems

Hi, Health Sync server status webpage says that Google have changed their Health Connect API so it doesn't work now until probably the end of January.

Also I eventually figured out I had to go into Profile & Privacy in the Garmin Connect app and enable 'My Connections' in there for my data. Then I could successfully connect to Chronometer finally.

And every time Google does that, Health Sync will be months behind (I got the same excuse in early December). Face it; Health Sync isn't taken seriously enough for Google to give it API changes in advance.

Hello.

Bringing back this old topic. Hopefully it's now solved.

I'm looking to buy a Forerunner watch and use Samsung Health. I understand Health Sync would bring my running data from Garmin Connect into Samsung Health.

My question: if I use the watch and carry the phone on me during walking, would steps be double counted after syncing? Samsung Health would have registered my steps and so would the watch. A fairly usual problem I reckon, so hopefully it's a non-issue.

I've been trying to sync with Health Sync, but it errors when trying to sync historical data. So far suggestions from Health Sync support haven't worked.

Garmin Interface is an extraordinary games following application. Yet, a many individuals likewise need different elements that are more wellbeing focused. What's more, this is where sending information from Garmin Associate with a help like Samsung Wellbeing or Google Fit comes set up.

I went ahead and purchased a Forerunner watch, used Health Sync and it allows for syncing all info but the steps...so I have a very significant gap in current data on Samsung Health and lack of historic info on Garmin Connect. Worst of both worlds?

Any way to retrieve historical steps and weight info from Samsung Health? I have several years of data there...
