Integrating Your Garmin Watch With Apple Health

As someone new to the Apple ecosystem, I used to believe that Android would always be superior to the iPhone. However, I was wrong. The vision of Steve Jobs continues to shine through, even more than a decade after his passing. Each update brings enhanced simplicity and technology that keeps getting better.

My Problems

Well, I will not talking about it, the idea behind this stories is my problem :)

I own a Garmin watch and was initially confused about how to connect it to my iPhone to sync my health data. Although Garmin’s website states that this connection is possible.

The documentation on how to do it is minimal and somewhat confusing. This is likely because the app’s interface changes with updates, making it hard to find the correct buttons. Let me help you with the solution.

Trust me, you will never find that button on your Apple Health. The tutorial you need is the POV from Garmin Connect itself. Because this misunderstanding, there are a forum that also asking that thier iPhone can’t connect to Garmin.

All of the answer on that discussion are not bringing into the answer. Even though it was very easy.

The Solutions

First, understand that you won’t find the necessary button within Apple Health. The key lies within the Garmin Connect app. Many users have shared their confusion on forums, but the solution is straightforward. Here’s how to do it, let’s explore it!

Open the Garmin Connect App and Access Settings
You don’t need to reinstall the app. Simply open it on your iPhone. Tap the settings icon in the top-left corner of the screen.

Navigate to Connected Devices: Click on ‘Connected Apps’.

Select Apple Health: Tap on ‘Apple Health’ to open the settings.

Click on Apple Health and open the settings

Enable Data Sharing: Make sure all the necessary data sharing options are turned on or activate the ones you need.

Once these steps are completed, your Garmin watch data will sync with Apple Health, including your fitness data.

As simply as that :)
