How to connect Garmin on iPhone

Enable data sharing from Garmin Connect to Apple Health:

  1. Open the Apple Health app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap your profile picture in the upper right corner.
  3. Tap Apps & Services under Privacy.
  4. Tap Garmin Connect.
  5. Toggle on the data categories you want to share (make sure Sleep is enabled).

Once sharing is enabled, Apple Health will display previously recorded Garmin data from up to two weeks before you turned sharing on. Each morning, RISE checks Apple Health for the previous night's sleep data from your Garmin.

When you don't wear your Garmin to bed, RISE falls back to automatic phone motion-based sleep detection.

How to connect Garmin on Android

On Android, connect Garmin directly through the RISE app:

  1. Open the RISE app and tap your Profile icon.
  2. Tap Data Sources.
  3. Scroll down to Optional connections.
  4. Tap Garmin.
  5. Tap Connect a Garmin.
  6. Tap Go Authorize Garmin.
  7. Toggle on the data you want to share and tap Agree.

Troubleshooting Garmin connection issues on iPhone

If RISE isn't showing your Garmin sleep data on iPhone:

  1. Confirm Garmin Connect is sharing data with Apple Health. Follow the connection steps above and verify the Sleep category is toggled on.
  2. Sync your Garmin. Open the Garmin Connect app to force it to send the latest data to Apple Health.
  3. Restart RISE. Force close the RISE app and reopen it.
  4. Check data source priority in Apple Health. If you have multiple apps or devices writing sleep data to Apple Health, go to Health app > Browse > Sleep > Data Sources & Access and drag your Garmin device to the top of the list.

Troubleshooting Garmin connection issues on Android

If RISE isn't showing your Garmin sleep data on Android:

  2. Sync your Garmin. Open the Garmin Connect app to force it to send the latest data from your device.
  3. Restart RISE. Force close the RISE app and reopen it.

If your sleep data still isn't appearing after these steps, reach out to the support team.
