Body Battery sync via multiple devices

rbmx 4 months ago

Anyone with a good tip or workaround to get the body battery to sync with multiple devices?

as I google this is not working through physio true up.

i wear my Fenix7x on my wrist all the time and during summer 70% of my workouts is cycling using Edge 840.

The workout from my Edge is not counted in factors and my Fenix shows High Stress during this period.

Have a look at the document Body Battery Frequently Asked Questions | Garmin Customer Support - it tells the following about the case when you use multiple devices:

No, Body battery does not utilizes TrueUp

True Up is explained here: What Is the Garmin Connect TrueUp Feature and How Does It Work? | Garmin Customer Support, and it syncs the following data, none of which is used for the Body Battery calculation. You need the HRV for that.

Calories
Floors
Intensity Minutes
Steps
Step distance traveled

And the more advanced and more recent Physio TrueUp does not sync BB either.

That is indeed what the TrueUp explainer says. Strangely both heart rate and stress are successfully synced to Garmin Connect from my non-preferred device. There's got to be some other kind of incompatibility - HR polling frequency, HRV/stress algos, etc. HRV after all is a transformation of HR data.

In any case, no body battery syncing.

And it is indeed how it is designed to work, not an incompatibility. Body Battery only comes from the Primary Wearable Device.

Right, but that's not synced. The daily HR data is stored in 2 minutes averages, while for HRV you'd need the beat-to-beat data.

Hate to post rumours but it's possible that body battery sync may be coming "soon". No idea if this will work with your use case - workout recorded on Edge while wearing watch - or if it's just meant to sync body battery across multiple watches.

It seems that you also want your watch's stress feature to take the Edge's activity into account - i.e. to not record stress during the activity, which may not be part of the rumoured feature either.
