Connect data showing separately to Vivofit data

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have been tracking my runs using the Connect app on my phone and decided to buy a new Garmin heart rate monitor so I can track my heart rate.
I used it for the first time tonight and paired it with my vivofit. I tracked my run as usual, but then noticed that the Connect had synced one lot of data with no heart rate and the vivofit had synced another set of data with the heart rate, but was showing this as additional activity rather than the same one.7

Has anyone else had this problem and do you know if there is a way round it? It looks like I have done a lot more than in reality which is good in some ways, but not good for monitoring my realistic activity and performance levels!!

I'm not sure exactly how you got to where you got to however here's a question.

Is your vivofit setup to display heart rate? It's in device settings - display settings. If it isn't it should be as when it displays is when it creates an activity. When you're done, you press the button until the word heart shows and then OFF.

If you don't have the heart rate showing, then it probably created an activity by auto sensing which is the way it works without an HRM.
