Connecting Garmin

Sync Garmin watch data with RiseWell

Got a Garmin watch? Let's connect it to RiseWell for seamless activity tracking.

What Syncs from Garmin Connect

  • Activities: Runs, walks, bikes, swims, and other workouts
  • Daily stats: Steps, calories, floors climbed
  • Sleep: Sleep duration and quality metrics
  • Stress: Body Battery and stress level data (if your device tracks it)

Setting Up

1. Go to Profile > Connected Apps > Garmin

2. Tap Connect Garmin

3. You'll be directed to Garmin Connect to sign in

4. Authorize RiseWell to access your data

5. Return to RiseWell—syncing begins automatically

Initial Sync

The first sync pulls in your recent activity history. This might take a few minutes depending on how much data you have.

Ongoing Sync

After the initial setup:

  • New activities sync within minutes of being uploaded to Garmin Connect
  • Daily stats update throughout the day
  • Sleep data syncs after you view it in Garmin Connect (Garmin's requirement)

Using Garmin Data in RiseWell

Your Garmin activity counts toward your daily goals. Crushed a long run this morning? RiseWell might suggest yoga for recovery instead of another intense workout.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure your Garmin device syncs to Garmin Connect first
  • Check that the RiseWell connection is still active in Garmin Connect's connected apps
  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting if data stops flowing
