Unfortunately, Garmin\u2019s smartwatches, although they\u2019re quite popular, don\u2019t support Health Connect, so owners can\u2019t share their Garmin Connect Data to Google\u2019s service.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/google\" class=\"internal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a> confirmed a few months ago during I\/O 2025 that Health Connect support will finally be available for Garmin smartwatches sometime in June, we\u2019re already in July and support for Health Connect is still not live.<\/p>\n<p>Even though we still don\u2019t have an ETA for Google Health Connect integration, the folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/garmin\/heres-everything-garmin-will-and-wont-share-with-google-health-connect\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Android Central<\/a> noticed that Garmin recently <a href=\"https:\/\/support.garmin.com\/en-US\/?faq=JToBEy0jfe6pIygark2Ui5\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">updated its support page<\/a> with details about what its customers can expect once Google Health Connect integration goes live.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is most of the data from Garmin Connect can be synced with Google Health Connect. The bad news is that some data will not be compatible with Google\u2019s service so it can\u2019t be synced.

It\u2019s important to mention that other data that Garmin smartwatches typically measure might not sync with Health Connect. <\/p>\n<p>For example, Garmin says its Connect app will share Sleep Data to Google Health Connect, but it doesn\u2019t go deeper than that, so it\u2019s impossible to tell if data like blood oxygen saturation, body temperature and heart rate variability will be supported.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still no ETA for this update that\u2019s supposed to bring Google Health Connect support to Garmin users, but it\u2019s safe to assume it will arrive sometime this month considering that the company has just updated its support page with all the info above.<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Grab-Surfshark-VPN-now-at-more-than-50-off-and-with-3-extra-months-for-free.webp.png\" alt=\"Grab Surfshark VPN now at more than 50% off and with 3 extra months for free!\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" haswatermark=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>        Grab Surfshark VPN now at more than 50% off and with 3 extra months for free!<\/p>\n<p>                    Secure your connection now at a bargain price!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:12px;\">We may earn a commission if you make a purchase<\/p>\n<p>                                    <a class=\"offer-button button button-primary\" data-merchant=\"Surfshark\" href=\"https:\/\/get.surfshark.net\/aff_c?offer_id=87&amp;aff_id=6123\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"&#010;                           (function(element) {&#010;                           window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];&#010;                           const elements = document.querySelectorAll(&#039;a.offer-button&#039;);&#010;                           let currentIndex = 0;&#010;                           for (let i = 0; i &lt; elements.length; i++) {&#010;                           if (elements[i] === element) {&#010;                           currentIndex = i + 1;&#010;                           break;&#010;                           }&#010;                           }&#010;                           const totalCount = elements.length;&#010;                           window.dataLayer.push({&#010;                           &#039;event&#039;: &#039;singleOffersClicked&#039;,&#010;                           &#039;eventLabel&#039;: currentIndex + &#039; \/ &#039; + totalCount + &#039;, Surfshark - https:\/\/get.surfshark.net\/aff_c?offer_id=87&amp;aff_id=6123&#039;&#010;                           });&#010;                           })(this);&#010;                           return true;\"><\/p>\n<p>                        Check Out The Offer<br \/>\n                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read the latest from Cosmin Vasile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google\u2019s Health Connect allows smartwatches to sync health data and store it on the user\u2019s smartphone.
