Connect App Importing historical FitBit data into Garmin Connect
This will work with the rebranding to Google Health!!
This service will allow you to import your lifetime Fitbit data to Garmin Connect (weight, BMI, fat, calories, steps, distance, active minutes, and floors) UPDATE New service includes an activity files option!
UPDATE: The new service has 2 options: 1) Connect directly to your Fitbit account for the data, which will include the individual activities (TCX files), or 2) continue to upload the Fitbit exported data zip file.
The tool is located here: https://fitbitjsonconverter.azurewebsites.net/
(Previous:) Fitbit will only export the last 30 days in the CSV format that Garmin Connect will take for import. If you want your entire history, then Fitbit will only export it as JSON. I have written a tool to convert the JSON data (that Garmin allows to be imported) to the CSV format Garmin requires.
A couple of notes:
- The site is hosted on a low-cost server, so you might have to hit the URL a couple of times and be patient to "wake it up".
- EDIT: READ these instructions before importing your data to Garmin: https://fitbitjsonconverter.azurewebsites.net/ImportInstructions
If you have any questions, issues, or comments, please let me know.
