How to connect fitness tracker app or smartwatch app on #Stepbystep
If you don't carry your smartphone with you while you are training, you can still get rewarded for the workouts detected by your fitness tracker or smartwatch.
To do so, you just need to sync the app of the fitness tracker (Garmin or Polar, for examplce) to Google Fit for Android and Health for iPhone.
Google Fit (Android)
To connect your fitness tracker (for example, Mi Band) to Google Fit, you simple need to open the App of the fitness tracker (for example Mi Fit), go to settings and search the section related to integrations with third parties. From there, you can enable the communication with Google Fit and let #Stepbystep reward you.
Currently, some devices like Garmin and Polar doesn't allow a direct connection with Google Fit. Don't worry, though: many users managed to sort it out using Strava. In fact, you just need to allow the communication between your smartwatch and Strava, and then connect Strava to Google Fit (as explained here). In this way, you can easily earn credits for your workouts.
We suggest you to make sure that your fitness tracker or smartwatch is sync with Google Fit, by looking in the list of connected app available on Google Fit.
