Fitbit data - does it count towards fitness calculation?

I've successfully imported 2 years of Fitbit data into a new Garmjn Connect account.

I can read all the GPS, heart rate data etc but it does not seem that any of my FitBit runs are being used to calculate my overall fitness inside GC.

So for jnstance a new slow run in GC is being recorded as a personal record whereas there are many much faster runs from the Fitbit data.

Can anyone confirm if this is the correct behaviour?

Does GC only use Garmin data to assess fitness?

If so, what is the use of having my Fitbit runs inside GC?

Personal records are being detected by the device, not in Garmin Connect, so no, unless the imported file contains the PR information, it will have no impact on your PRs. However, you can assign or edit the PRs manually.
