Real-Time Webhook Sync
Unlike many apps that require manual sync, Vitalstat uses Garmin's webhook system for fully automatic data delivery. When your Garmin watch syncs with Garmin Connect, the data is automatically pushed to Vitalstat within minutes. There are no sync buttons, no waiting, and no manual imports.
Use Garmin with Other Devices
Vitalstat supports connecting Garmin alongside Apple Watch, Polar, and Oura Ring. Combine data from multiple sources for the most comprehensive health tracking possible.
Privacy & Security
Garmin data sync uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authorization. Your Garmin credentials are never stored by Vitalstat — only an encrypted access token is used for data retrieval. You can disconnect your Garmin account at any time from Settings, which revokes access and deletes stored tokens.
