Import Data From Fitbit® to Garmin Connect

1. Export your data from Fitbit®.

   • It is important that you select the file format of your Fitbit data as CSV.

   • Individual GPS exercises can be exported as TCX (see Fitbit® help - How Do I Export My Fitbit GPS Data?).

2. From a web browser sign into your Garmin Connect account.

3. Select in the top right corner of the page.

4. Select Import Data.

5. Select Browse.

6. Locate and select the files exported from Fitbit®.

7. Select Import Data.

8. Select the units of measure that match what you used with Fitbit.

   • If the file's date formatting doesn't match, for example it's MM/DD/YY instead of MM/DD/YYYY, your data may not be uploaded successfully.

9. Select Continue.

Your data should now be visible in Garmin Connect. During import you have the opportunity to select the units of measurement. If you would like to change the units of measurement, importing the file again and selecting the units of measurement you would like will overwrite the previously uploaded data.

There are a few reasons why you could see this error when attempting to import your data. This includes:

• If you upload Fitbit® data containing data on the same day that the account already has Garmin data.

• Data that does not have the same date formatting throughout the file. 

Generally, errors are seen when the format of the data export does not match throughout the file, or the file includes invalid characters. It is important to review the file for any inconsistences in order to correct before importing the data. Also, in the event there is wellness data on the same day, Garmin data will take precedence over Fitbit data. With some data, the date may be incorrect by a day if the time zone of the source data is different from the time zone setting in your Garmin Connect account.
