GoogleFit with a Wearable

Modified on Wed, 17 Apr at 2:22 PM

1. Make sure your wearable’s app is connected to the Google Fit app.
In order for VITY to receive your health data, it must all be collected in the Google Fit app. Please check the instructions from Google and from the manufacturer of your wearable to learn how to connect your wearable’s app to Google Fit.

2. Open Google Fit regularly to check and synchronize your data
Google Fit continuously receives data from both your wearable and your smartphone. It then uses a clever algorithm to combine the data together. The data that comes to VITY is the data that you see in Google Fit, which might differ significantly from what you see on your wearable itself.

3. Keep your phone and wearable charged to ensure data transfer
VITY is always trying to collect data from Google Fit in the background, however, sometimes the data is not transferred from Google Fit because of factors such as low battery and poor internet connection.

4. Have patience, the data is not shown in real time
VITY gets regular automatic updates from Google Fit several times per day. However, your data in VITY will not be shown in real time. But don't worry, in time all of your data will be updated.

5. For a more reliable data syncing experience, consider a switch
If you are having trouble with Google Fit, our Developers at VITY recommend switching to one of the wearables to which VITY offers a direct and more stable connection, such as Fitbit, Garmin, Withings, etc.
