At the Google I/O conference this year Google announced that Garmin will support Google Health Connect for syncing data.

It's around the :56 min mark:  Android Stage - Day 1 (Google I/O 2025)

I spent the last year trying out the Pixel Watch 3/Health Connect/etc ecosystem. I'm happy about the standardization and interoperability of APIs, I think is is good for consumers.

    A "Health Connect" release came out today (June 9, 2025) There is no release note information about supporting Garmin data.

    On the Garmin Connect app, under "settings" "connected apps" it lists three 

    • Outlook
    • MyFitnessPal
    • Strava

    I'm curious if this Health Connect release supports Garmin.  As Google announced they would support Garmin Data syncs in June, but now the ball is in Garmin Connects court, to update their app to read/write to Health Cinnect.

    We'll see

    "Google announced at I/O 2025 that Garmin Connect will integrate with Health Connect starting in June 2025, allowing direct syncing of health and fitness data without third-party apps like Health Sync. It hasn’t been delayed or kicked down the road, but it’s not yet available as Android 16’s rollout doesn’t automatically include this feature. It’s tied to a Garmin app update expected this month."

    BTW.  From what I understand iPhone users see a different list of "connected apps" than us Android users.

    On IOS one of their options for connected apps is the Apple Health analog to "Health Connect." So after this option becomes available on Garmin Connect, us android users should have the same flexibility and standardized APIs to use our data that is generated by our Garmins.  Here's hoping.
