Q: Apple Health to Garmin Connect on Apple watch

I am thinking of buying an Apple Watch Series 2.

 

At the moment I use a Garmin Vivofit 2 as an activity tracker to monitor daily steps.  This data is then synced through Garmin Connect to my Vitality App to gain Vitality Points.

 

If I buy my Apple Watch Series 2, how easy is it to transfer daily step data from the Apple Health app to Garmin Connect?

 

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

     

    "If I buy my Apple Watch Series 2, how easy is it to transfer daily step data from the Apple Health app to Garmin Connect?"

     

    Apple Watch software does not support transferring data from a Garmin Connect.

     

    Two different operating systems.

    Many thanks for the reply and I apologise if I did not make my post clear.

     

    My requirement is to be able to transfer step data FROM Apple Health on the Apple Watch to the Garmin Connect App on my iPhone 6S.

     

    I do not think I have any obvious need to transfer data the other way from Garmin Connect to Apple Health.

     

    If I cannot do the data transfer in the way I need I will not be buying an Apple Watch as it won't meet my needs in respect of activity tracking.

     

     

    Thanks again
