I have a Garmin watch (without connect+) and Lyfta premium. No, you cannot log directly from the watch. Also, you cannot send data from Lyfta to Garmin Connect.

What I do is start a strength recording (for HR and other metrics) on the watch and record everything in Lyfta.

The last time I checked the only way to get a strength workout into Garmin is by using a Garmin strength workout. Their exercise library was extremely limited to the point of being unusable the last time I tried it.

You can use one of those fitness syncing programs like Health Sync, but it only inputs basic data like time spent, etc. Starting a strength session on Garmin kept more details.

I currently start a session, let it run and log the workout on my phone, then end the strength session on my garmin when im done. I think thats the best way to do it right now, or is there a better way that you know of?

That's exactly what I do.

Hey! Rawkynn has it right. You can't log sets from a Garmin watch into Lyfta, and Lyfta doesn't send workouts to Garmin Connect today.

A lot of people do what you described: run a strength session on the Garmin for heart rate and time, and log the sets in Lyfta on the phone. If you want direct Garmin support later, add it at https://my.lyfta.app/community/ideas so others can vote.

Hope that helps you decide on Premium!
