Push workouts to your Garmin.
WattsUp connects to Garmin to send training plan workouts directly to your device. Authorise once and scheduled sessions appear on your Garmin automatically.
WattsUp connects to Garmin solely to push training plan workouts to your device. We do not read or sync your activity data via the Garmin API. To get AI coaching feedback on your Garmin rides, you'll need to manually upload your .fit file.
Five steps from the home screen.

Important notes
What WattsUp does and doesn't do with your Garmin connection.
— What it does
WattsUp pushes scheduled training plan workouts directly to your Garmin device. Sessions appear in the Workouts section of your Garmin shortly after they're scheduled.
— What it doesn't do
Due to Garmin API restrictions, WattsUp cannot automatically read your activity data from Garmin. We never write to or modify your Garmin data.
— Getting Garmin rides into WattsUp
To get AI coaching feedback on your Garmin rides, export the .fit file from Garmin Connect and upload it to WattsUp. See the 'Upload a FIT file' guide for step-by-step instructions.
— Pushed workouts cannot be deleted
Once a workout is pushed to Garmin it cannot be removed remotely. We recommend syncing one week at a time so that if your plan changes as you progress, you're not left with stale workouts on your device.
— Syncing to your Garmin device
After WattsUp pushes workouts to your Garmin account, you'll need to sync them to your device using the Garmin Connect app. See Garmin's official guide for instructions.
