What Is The Difference Between Device Connect And Garmin?
People often ask us what the difference is between Device Connect and Garmin. We are often asked if we can get data from Garmin Connect or Strava. People will register for our service and then be surprised that their Garmin Connect or Strava data is not there.
To begin with, Device Connect is not a data source. Device Connect is a data destination. You can think of it as a place where data goes, not a place where data comes from.
Device Connect is our own branded version of the open-source fitness data exchange protocol known as FIT. FIT is the standard data exchange protocol for fitness devices, and it is used by pretty much every fitness device on the market today.
Device Connect differs from FIT in that it is a consumer-facing version of the protocol. It is easy to use, and it is designed to work with as many devices as possible. Device Connect is also a platform for innovation, as it allows third parties to develop new and interesting applications.
Garmin, on the other hand, is a company that makes fitness devices. They also have a platform for collecting and analyzing data from those devices, which is called Garmin Connect.
Garmin Connect is a great service, and we are big fans of it.
