Hi Trailrunning and welcome to EXI!

To answer your first question, you cannot currently connect Garmin directly to EXI, but there are workarounds!

Why: EXI works by connecting with Apple Health (on an iPhone) or Google Fit (on an Android phone). Any wearable device (like a smart watch or fitness wristband) that can connect to Apple Health or Google Fit will have the activity data show up on EXI. Garmin don't currently connect to either, unfortunately.

Workaround: There are some 3rd party apps that allow Garmin to connect to Apple Health or Google Fit to allow the data to feed through. I know it's not ideal, but if you do want to access that data, it's currently the best way.

What we're doing: We are currently working on FitBit integration with EXI, Garmin is going to be one of the next integrations we look at.

And for your second question: yes you can log activities manually after you've completed them. In the image here, I've circled what you need to tap to get to the right place. Once you tap this, you can select the activity and then add the date, and duration of your activity as well as your heart rate & exertion level. We recommend entering these activities as soon as possible after you do the activity to make sure that you adding the most accurate data!

Hi again 😀

I want to share what the "Log Activity" screen looks like once you select the activity you want to add. The heart rate and "rate your exertion" results should be the answers from immediately after the activity you're logging!
