Garmin, where the athletes are.
Garmin owners tend to take their training seriously — and most fitness competition apps weren't built for them. MoveTogether is. Connect any Garmin that syncs to Garmin Connect — Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, Vivoactive, Instinct, Epix — and your activity feeds into competitions on the same leaderboard as friends on Apple Watch, Fitbit, WHOOP, Oura, and more.
OAuth via Garmin Connect.
You sign in on Garmin's own login page and authorize MoveTogether to read your daily activity, workouts, and step data via Garmin's official Health API. We never see your password — Garmin handles authentication, we receive an OAuth token. Revoke anytime from your Garmin Connect account permissions.
Every Garmin that syncs to Garmin Connect.
From the entry-level fitness trackers to the Fenix and Epix premium multisport watches, every Garmin that posts activity to Garmin Connect feeds MoveTogether.

What we read from Garmin.
MoveTogether normalizes a small set of activity metrics across every supported wearable. Here’s what specifically comes through from Garmin.
Sync cadence
Every 15–30 minutes
Garmin Connect syncs on its own cadence as your watch reaches your phone. We poll the Garmin Health API regularly so new activity lands on the leaderboard within roughly 15–30 minutes of it appearing in Garmin Connect. Pull-to-refresh on any screen to force a sync attempt.
Best scoring methods for Garmin.
Garmin users typically have structured training plans. The methods that work best:
Workout Based
Scores only the activity inside specific workout types. Tailored to people who actually log runs, rides, swims, and lifts — instead of counting all-day passive activity.
Raw Numbers
Points for total volume across calories, minutes, and steps. Rewards the cumulative effort that Garmin athletes typically rack up.
Percentage of Goals
Most cross-device-fair if you're competing with non-Garmin friends.
Garmin questions, briefly answered.
Does MoveTogether work with the Connect IQ store?
We don't ship a Connect IQ data field or watch face. The integration runs server-to-server via the Garmin Health API, so there's nothing to install on your watch.
Will my structured workouts (runs, rides, swims) come through?
Yes. Every Garmin workout type — running, cycling, swimming, strength, hiking, golf, and the rest — feeds into MoveTogether and counts toward Workout Based scoring.
What about Garmin Coach plans or training calendar workouts?
If a Garmin Coach workout shows up in Garmin Connect as a completed activity (which it does), it lands in MoveTogether and counts. The fact that it was a planned workout doesn't change anything.
I have multiple Garmin devices. Which one feeds MoveTogether?
Garmin Connect already merges activity from your devices into one timeline. We read that merged timeline, so you don't have to pick one watch.
Garmin, in good company.
Your training already lives in Garmin Connect. MoveTogether gives it a leaderboard.
