IMPROVED DAILY ACTIVITY
To increase accuracy, we recently improved how daily activity is imported from your Garmin device.
👟 Daily Activity Calculation: The Garmin ‘Daily Activity’ entry in your Cronometer Diary now includes your sedentary to light movement calories from your Garmin resting calorie circle!
The calculation now looks like this: Daily Activity = Garmin total calories burned – Garmin calories burned from individual exercises – BMR (as it’s already accounted for in Cronometer).
⭐ Top Tip: If comparing your Garmin and Cronometer data, check a day in the past! While Cronometer displays your BMR and Baseline Activity Level totals at the beginning of the day, Garmin’s Total Calories will top-up throughout the day. Note: The totals will not be exactly the same but they should be close.
Data is super important when it comes to nailing your health and wellness goals. With the integration of Cronometer and Garmin, users have a tool at their disposal to track their nutrition and exercise in one seamless experience. This combo is all about helping you make smart choices for your health and fitness by bringing together your exercise info and biometrics right into your Cronometer account.
Importing Garmin Data Into Cronometer
By connecting Garmin and Cronometer, you’ll be able to import the following metrics into Cronometer:
- Sleep Score and Body Battery (new!)
- Resting Heart Rate
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
- Oxygen Saturation (Sp02)
- Respiration Rate
- Blood Pressure
- Daily Activity
- Exercise
- Body Fat %
- Weight
How To Sync Your Garmin Device
Sync your Garmin data with your Cronometer account by navigating to the More section of the app.
On mobile, make sure you’re on the latest version of the app, then click on Connect Apps & Devices > Devices. Select Garmin from the list of available devices and follow the prompts to link with your Garmin account.
On the web browser, click More > Devices. Select Garmin from the list of available devices and follow the prompts to link with your Garmin account.
Once connected, select which metrics you’d like to sync into Cronometer and the app will automatically pull the data into your Diary.
Leveraging Your Garmin Data
Once you have data importing from Garmin, don’t just let it sit around on your Diary screen!
Cronometer Gold subscribers have access to Custom Charts, which will allow you to chart your metrics against nutrient intake. For example, you could see how your nutrition (like magnesium intake) affects your sleep or how alcohol intake might affect your resting heart rate.
