FitDataSync with Garmin Connect not working

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I just got a Fitbit Flex and am trying to sync with Garmin Connect (I have an old Garmin 405). I added the FitDataSync app and I can log into my Garmin Connect account successfully (put in my email and password, check the "sync automatically" box, then hit "save" and I get a "saved successfully" message). I have the Fitbit authorized as well. However, then nothing happens. It doesn't have my last week of workouts, but more importantly it's not adding in new workouts. If I go to FitDataSync, enter in my info, and then hit "sync now," it says "failed to sync." Any ideas??

@poompalou. If you use Garmin, I dont see why it wouldn't sync. You might get double the step data. But Fitbit's run app is pretty solid. Really you shouldn't need to sync that. I double track when I run. Strava and Fitbit (they dont sync with each other) Garmin is purely for riding. When endomondo is connected to Fitbit, it continuously updates steps. So that's the long way around me saying "I'm afraid you'll have to test it out yourself". But I hope I was able to provide insight. 🙂

fitdatasync appears to be down.  Nothing has synced between Garmin and Fitbit for over a week.  I just tried to log into fitdatasync to force a sync, but the site is not available.

Has anyone found an alternative to syncing Connect with Fitbit?

Fitbit's app is far more superior to Garmin Connect. But the Garmin Vivofit is way better than any of the fitbits - no charging, it's waterproof etc. But now with fitdatasync down for weeks - we can't sync the apps. There has to be something out there that will sync these 2 apps.
