Charge 3 receive step counts from another devices

[Annaeiros]

Hi,

I am up for the 10K daily steps challenge - I am a runner and I track my runs with my polar watch. Is it possible to link the Polar and the fitbit charge 3 app so the fitbit will retrieve the step count from the Polar for adding these steps to my daily amount?
Right now I am ending up running with 2 watches and this is not comfortable - I would like to run just with my polar but having the steps added to the fitbit so they count for my challenges/weekly stats.

REgards.

You might try IFTTT. 

I do not think polar has set up a link to Fitbit. This would be a question for polar, not Fitbit. 

In anycase, steps inspired by a third party are considered to be manually added and will not be added to challenges.

@Annaeiros -- I would just wear the fitbit on one wrist to collect the step count you want for fitbit and wear the Polar when you run (for the special stats you get with that) on the other wrist.  You might feel a little self-conscious about having two watches, but they don't interfere with each other or cause discomfort if they are on opposite arms.  If you really don't like to have two devices on at the same time, stick the fitbit in a pocket or a running wallet -- it will still count steps.  After the run you can take off the Polar and put on the Fitbit.
