Do imported activities impact Garmin metrics (Recovery time, Body Battery, etc)

Hey!

I am using Garmin Forerunner 955 for day-to-day activities and metrics, but I use Wahoo for my cycling activities. After completing activity I import .fit file via desktop web client. It appears on the list, I can see the data, get the achievements, etc, but it seems that it is not involved in measuring Recovery time, drained Body Battery, VO2, fitness, etc.

First, am I right or I got something wrong? If so, is there a way to make these activities count?

  • Only very few 3rd party apps are certified for updating some of the metrics in GC - basically Zwift, Rouvy, and TrainerRoad (listed here: Garmin Connect app | Garmin | Support Center). I think there is another one not listed yet, but I do not remember which one. Almost certainly not Wahoo, though.

    None of them is syncing with Body Battery though. Just wear your watch 24/7, and you'll be fine, regardless what you use for recording your activities.
