Withings to Garmin Connect/Apple Health to Garmin Connect.

When can I expect Garmin to collect data from Withings or Apple Health?
I have been waiting for 2 years for Garmin to get fat and weight data from my Withings scale into Garmin Connect.

Sync metrics.com was really nice, for as long as it worked. Scale2fit or manual additions via the app seems to be the best option at the moment. But it should be automatic
With the new release of IOS 8 Apple incorporated "Health" to where you can get weight/Fat data from my scale, but Garmin Connect can't read weight data from the health app.
Is there anything in the pipeline?

I get my withings weight data into GC by connecting Withings to MyFitnessPal, and GC to MFP. Works quite well, and I get my weight graphs on the weight widget, with no action erquired on my part.

Yes but you can't get fat% and older data

I had to go the MyFitnessPal route as well to get GC to update my weight. It works just fine.

But my questions is WHY won't GC send updated weight information to my 610?? GC will show my weight as one thing, the 610 on my wrist will show the last setting I manually entered. Is there a way to have GC automatically update my 610? I believe the 610 uses weight in it's caloric burn and other calculations. Even though those calcs are largely guesses, I'd like the to be as accurate as possible.

Suggestions?

It's the same thing with the fr15. The weight only gets synced with the FR15 if you "save" your settings in Garmin connect. I haven't tried it, but if you manually enter a weight in the weight widget, does it get sent to the device on the next sync, or does it only get sent if you change it in user settings for the device?

Jim....

I just tried hitting "SAVE" on my personal settings in GC (the settings with the weight from my scale through MyFitnessPal) and the new weight was sent to my FR610. I'll manually do the 'SAVE' once a week or so to keep the FR610 as accurate as possible. I haven't run in over a year, and now I'm running AND biking....needless to say my weight will be dropping a bit for a while. :)

Has this changed?

I've connected my Withings scale to MyFitnessPal, and it syncs alright. But even though MFP is getting exercise data from Garmin, weight data is not transferred to Garmin connect.

I'm open to other solutions. I don't care about MFP, only want weight data in Garmin connect (and Strava.)

I'd love to get it direct too, but seeing as Withings is a direct competitor I doubt they're interested in even starting a project to do it.

I'm keeping an eye on the Index subforum and when the syncing issues with MFP get fixed there I may get an Index. It just appears by that forum to be so hit and miss, unreliable and sporadic at the moment.

I have the same problem: I would like my weight from Withings to be uploaded to Garmin Connect. MapMyFitness does not seem to work for this. Any ideas on how to solve this?
