I am a recent owner of garmin forerunner 935. I also own spirit fitness eGlide XG400 elliptical machine. It is several years old and appears to not have any way to export workout data, the version I have seems to not have any Bluetooth capability. I've done a fair amount of research and found there is a 3rd party elliptical app by FBBBrown. The challenge has been to get the distance recorded when using that. There is a Garmin elliptical app as well, same issue, no mileage is recorded. In researching this further, I found out that some folks are using bike cadence device on their elliptical to get that missing distance info. Some of that info I have found is older. So, Wanted to inquire if that is still the most current way to go about getting the 'miles' recorded ?
Is there a preferred cadence bike device that is being used by most here that has the widest compatibility and accuracy. While I have the garmin watch, the wife has the iWatch.
As an unrelated sidebar - I do NOT recommend anyone to purchase spirit fitness equipment. I have sent them several emails and left several voicemails for support, all have fallen over deaf ears, they have ZERO customer care service.
thanks for your input.
