If your Garmin device isn’t syncing to Stridekick and you’ve already learned how to sync your Garmin to Stridekick, please review these common issues to learn why your steps might not be syncing.

It's my first day, and I see fewer steps than I should:

Garmin only allows Stridekick to get the steps from after you signed up with us (for example: if you signed up at 2pm, we can only get the steps you took after 2pm from Garmin). Usually, this is the cause of some step inaccuracies on the first day of syncing.

It's been a couple days, and my steps still aren't showing up:

  1. Make sure you have steps coming in at connect.garmin.com. If there are no steps there, then you may have connected the wrong account or your device doesn't collect steps. If your device collects steps and you believe you may have simply connected the wrong account, you can go to connect.garmin.com and click the profile icon at the top right of your screen. Then, click Account Settings > Account Information. The correct email should be listed at the top of the page. Reconnect your Garmin to Stridekick using this email to login to Garmin when prompted.

  2. Confirm Stridekick can access your Daily Health Stats. Please click here > scroll down to Stridekick under Connected Apps > confirm that Stridekick is listed and that your Daily Health Stats toggle is enabled or showing green:

3. Garmin's system only works with all-day trackers. If your device is not an all-day tracker then it might not integrate with the Garmin system we use. 

Check Your Time Zone Setting

If your time zone in Stridekick isn't correct, this could be causing your syncing issues. Double-check your time zone by following the steps below:

Mobile App

  1. From the dashboard, tap the 3 horizontal bars in the upper left corner

  2. Tap Settings

  3. Scroll down to the time zone field and tap to adjust if needed

  1. Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner

  2. Click Settings

  3. Scroll down to the time zone field and click to adjust if needed
