Sync timing
When your app syncs
New activity reaches MoveTogether once Garmin Connect shares it to Apple Health or Health Connect and MoveTogether syncs. On iPhone, Sync activity in the + menu pulls it in right away.
Scoring with Garmin.
Every scoring method is fair here, because every device sends its data the same way. Two that suit it:
Garmin questions, briefly answered.
Do I install anything on my watch?
No. Your Garmin keeps syncing to Garmin Connect as usual.
Do my runs and rides count?
Yes. Workouts Garmin Connect shares count toward Workout Count and your rings.
I wear a Garmin and another device. Which one counts?
The one you pick. MoveTogether counts one tracker toward your rings. Change it any time on iPhone: tap your photo on Home, then the gear, then Data Sources.
Garmin, in good company.
Your training already lives in Garmin Connect. MoveTogether gives it a leaderboard.
