Using vivofit and Forerunner 305

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello there
please, i need some advice here.
I have a vivofit band conected to garmin connect and everything is working fine.
I´ve used to be a TOMTOM Forerunner user, but now i´m thinking changing to a garmin forerunner 305.
My question is: i want to use both devices at the same time, the vivofit for analysing my steps, calories burn, etc, and the forerunner to register my running workout. It is possible to use at the same time? after syncing both devices to garmin connect, my workouts won´t be duplicated, p.e., 10km registered by the vivofit band, 10.5km by the forerunner?
And all the groups and chalanges i´be been competing with the vivofit...will the forerunner register aditional distance at this chalanges and groups?
because if so, i have to choose another GPS of other brand

many thanks for your help

That's what I do however, I don't start an activity on the vivofit or I would end up with 2 activities for each activity in Connect. I rely on the stats coming out of the Forerunner. The vivofit is on my wrist solely to count steps. I personally don't pay a lot of attention to the calories but I understand that smoothing between the 2 devices does occur in Connect.
