When you connect to Garmin to record your activities, Garmin sends us the source files of your watch in FIT format. This authorization allows you to receive information about your route, point by point and kilometer by kilometer. For users with a watch without an integrated barometer (e.g. Forerunner 55), it is possible that the source file of your watch will exaggerate the elevation gain. If your watch has an integrated barometer, it is usually already very accurate via the source file.Few readersImporting an activity from Huawei Health
Which watches are compatible with Huawei Health? Only the activities of the watches that are connected as GT Runner are updated, for a reason we do not know. Also, regions outside Europe are not compatible.

Because Polar does not consider developing the feature to export a session from another app a priority. Polar informed us (last contact in April 2025) that this integration is not yet plFew readersWhy aren't S&C workouts and swimming sessions exported?
Why aren't swimming sessions and S&C (Strength and Conditioning) workouts exported to my watch? For swimming, the main reason is that most providers don't support the export of swimming data. Sometimes, you have to specify whether the pool is 25m or 50m, or if it’s open water. This adds complexity to the integration and standardization of data, making it difficult to ensure a seamless and reliable export.
