What Is the Difference Between TrueUp and Physio TrueUp?

TrueUp keeps activity tracking data such as steps, calories, etc. in sync. To learn more, see - What Is the Garmin Connect TrueUp Feature and How Does It Work?.


Will My Older Device Share Data With a Device That Is Compatible With Physio TrueUp?

Information from incompatible devices will still be shared with your Physio TrueUp compatible device.


What Happens If I Have Duplicate Activities in My Account?

Physio TrueUp will only download one of the two activity files to your device. If there is a preference in which file is downloaded during Physio TrueUp, review the activities in Garmin Connect and remove the activity file that you do not want to be synced to your device.
