Can you sync Fitbit and Garmin?

I'm going to use the Garmin for my training runs, but wear Fitbit all other times.  Is there a way to sync them?  Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!

 

No there is no way unless you add the steps Manually. They use different Syncing programs.

 

Manually enter steps do not go towards Challenges or Badges

As @WendyB said, there's no direct way, but some have been able to sync the two by using Strava in between. So Garmin syncs to Strava and so does Fitbit. It does look like some extra work to set up, but if you're interested, here's a thread with more details.
