Apple Watch activity with Garmin Connect

Hi, when I do a bicycle training, I start the “outdoor cycle” workout on the Apple Watch and at the same time I start my Garmin bike computer. Once everything is synced, does the Activity app on my iPhone add up the calories from the two workouts or recognize that they are part of the same session?

Activity App (watch and iPhone) display duplicate workouts (i.e. two cycling distances of 33.2 miles) I understand how the Apple Health app prioritizes sources from Apple Watch, iPhone, or any other 3rd party apps and if there are duplicates then it will use the one listed highest in the order of preference. However, despite this, when I look at my Apple Watch I will often see two duplicate workouts in the Activity App. So when I'm scrolling through my activity (Move, Exercise, Stand) then near the bottom it may show that I did two cycling workouts of 33.2 miles when in reality there was only one. Why does the Activity App on the Apple Watch (and within the Activity App on iPhone) still LIST two workouts even if it appears that the ecosystem as a whole is appropriately tallying data from just one workout source (i.e. my calories don't appear to be double-counted). The only way I can stop this behavior is by unchecking the "workout" option for one of the sources. But, this is not ideal because there may be times when I don't have the other source on and would like to rely on the source that is usually the back-up (#2) option.

Workouts Apple Watch 6 to iPhone Some workouts are registered in my iPhone (X) in ‘activity’ others don’t. My outdoor walking and Pilates workouts at my Apple Watch are registered correct, not only in the total amount of trainings time and the calculations of active calories but also as distinguished workouts. My ‘swimming bath’ (indoor pool) workout is registered in the total time and calories on my iPhone but not as an independent workout.

Activity tracking Hi , I work as an associate for Amazon warehouse. I have recently bought an Apple Watch and was really excited to wear and keep track of my fitness at work but unfortunately they are not allowing me or anyone to wear apple or smart watches inside the facility. I would like to know if there is any way I could sync the activity app from my watch to my iphone and keep track of steps and calories burnt on my phone and after them to be transferred from my iphone to my Apple Watch ?

The activity app takes the calorie count from whichever device is first in the data sources and access list in the health app,priority is given to the first device or app at the top of the list.
