How Vora gets Garmin data today
Checked against the Vora iPhone and Android apps on .
- iPhone
- Direct Garmin connection, or Apple Health
- Android
- Direct Garmin connection, or Health Connect
- The direct connection is free on every Vora plan.
- The direct connection imports your history and keeps syncing in the background after your watch syncs, without the Garmin Connect app open. Garmin’s Body Battery and Training Readiness scores are not brought in as Vora metrics.
- If the same Garmin data also reaches Vora through Apple Health or Health Connect, Vora keeps both sources and decides which one to use for each metric. Choosing the source for a metric yourself needs Vora Pro.
