I have my Garmin Connect account set up with Bevel. I'm currently using a Forerunner 70 and a CIRQA. Is there anyway to get SpO2 and Temp data to show up in the health monitor portion of the app?

Just wanted to note that I noticed the upgraded ai model is using way less of my weekly limit than it was at launch. I far prefer it so I’m really grateful t o see that the credit usage is low enough to make it worth using!

Setting up a hybrid tracking approach and want to sanity-check it before I buy the Cirqa.

Why bother with two devices at all: I want to stop wearing a smartwatch on my wrist all day and switch to a mechanical/analog watch instead — but I don't want to lose 24/7 health data in the process. So the Cirqa is there specifically to quietly cover the day, while the AWU2 only comes out for sleep and workouts.

The plan:

• AWU2 for sleep tracking and all structured workouts (strength 3x/week + half marathon training block)
• Garmin Cirqa 24/7 for everything else — daytime HR, steps, quick unlogged walks/activities where I don't bother putting the watch on
• Everything feeds into Bevel as the main hub

The obvious problem: during sleep and during workouts I'm wearing both devices at once. That means Bevel is getting two HR/sleep/activity sources for the exact same time window.

Questions for anyone running a similar dual-device setup:

1. Does Bevel let you set a priority source per data type (sleep, HR, workouts), or does it just take whatever syncs first/last?
2. Does it detect and merge duplicate workouts (same start time from two sources), or do you end up with two entries and inflated Cardio Load / calories?
3. For Garmin Cirqa specifically — has anyone confirmed whether the Health Stats sync to Apple Health matches what's in Garmin Connect 1:1, or is there a gap (e.g. continuous background HR vs. just summary numbers)?
4. Anyone just turn off auto-activity-detection on the Cirqa during sleep/workout windows to avoid the conflict entirely, instead of relying on Bevel to sort it out?

Context if it matters: using Bevel to track recovery/strain for a half marathon block (Nov target) plus strength training. Trying to keep the AWU2 for what it's best at (sleep accuracy, workout precision) and let the Cirqa fill the daytime gap without buying a full second smartwatch.

Would love to hear from anyone who's actually run this combo rather than guessing — Bevel's changelog mentions direct Oura integration but I can't find anything concrete on native Garmin support, so not sure if this is even a common setup yet.

To any who may know:

I have a workout template that contains multiple exercises for different muscle groups. By design I rarely do all the exercises in the template, I just pick what I feel like doing that day.

A couple of questions related to the “Update Template” functionality:

1. What will happen to the exercises I skipped on a given day if I update the template based on that workout? My concern is that it may eliminate them from the template or drop the reps to zero when the reality is I intentionally skipped that exercise so it should remain untouched.

2. Separate but related, sometimes I’ll reduce the number of sets I do for a given exercise. Eg, only do two of the three sets in the template. What will happen in this scenario? In this case I guess reducing the last set to zero reps would make sense but I wouldn’t want the template to eliminate the last set, reducing the exercise to two sets.

I checked the knowledge base but couldn’t find these details.

Thanks in advance!

Got my Fitbit Air a few days ago and I'm holding off connecting it to anything until it finishes calibrating (heard it's about a week). In the meantime I want to sanity check my plan before I flip any switches, since I've read enough duplicate-workout horror stories in this sub to be paranoid now.

Quick background: training for a 70.3 and want proper 24/7 tracking, but I also like wearing a normal watch most of the day, so I don't want to be stuck on my Apple Watch all the time. Landed on this setup:

Apple Watch SE only goes on for actual training sessions (swim/bike/run). Rest of the time it's Fitbit Air paired with my regular watch, fitbit doing the background tracking (sleep, resting HR, steps) while the regular watch is just what I'm actually looking at for time. Important bit: I take the Apple Watch off completely before putting the Fitbit on, so there's never a moment where both are actually on my wrist at the same time. Everything funnels into Bevel as my one dashboard.

Here's what I'm planning to actually turn on/off:

Google Health → Apple Health sync:

• ON — Steps, Sleep, Heart rate, Resting heart rate, HRV, Vitals (SpO2, respiratory rate)
• OFF — Exercise/Workouts, Active/Resting Energy

Bevel data source priority:

• Workouts + Energy → Apple Watch as primary
• Steps, Sleep, Resting HR → Fitbit Air as primary
• Heart rate + HRV → leaving both on

Figured even without overlapping wear time, the Fitbit's auto-detect could still catch the tail end of a workout when I put it back on (heart rate's still up), or flag random stuff like a fast walk as a "workout," which I don't want bleeding into my training log. Same logic for energy — pretty sure both devices independently guess my daily calorie burn regardless of who's actually on my wrist, so letting both write that number in just gives me two different answers fighting each other.

Curious if anyone's actually running this exact pattern — Apple Watch and Fitbit Air, strictly sequential, feeding Bevel. Does turning off the Workouts toggle on the Apple Health side actually stop it, or does Bevel's Google Health integration grab workouts on its own regardless of that setting? And for anyone who waited out the calibration period before connecting sync — was it actually worth the wait or am I overthinking it?

Would rather sort this out now than clean up a mess of duplicate entries a month in.

Hey all,

The Fitness biological age section shows “Percentage Lean Body Mass” next to VO2 max and Resting HR, but mine’s stuck on a permanent dash — no data, no manual input option.

Dug into it: my scale (Eufy Life) writes Body Fat % and Lean Mass in kg to Apple Health fine, both show up correctly in Bevel. But Lean Mass as a percentage isn’t a HealthKit datatype at all — only the kg version exists. So no scale/app can write to a field that doesn’t exist, and manual entry in Health itself is greyed out for the same reason.

Questions:

1. Has anyone actually gotten this card to populate? With what scale/app?
2. Is there a setting in Bevel that computes it from existing Body Fat % instead of waiting on a raw datapoint?

Since Lean Mass % = 100% − Body Fat %, feels like something Bevel could just calculate internally instead of leaving it permanently empty — but curious if there’s already a workaround before I write it off.

Thanks!

I've been using my Fitbit Air with a bicep band and tracking my health metrics on Bevel. It has been a better user experience, especially with stress tracking and the energy bank.

The Fitbit Air on my bicep is showing better accuracy during my strength training workouts, better heart rate graphs and realistic calorie burn. For example: on my leg day I burned around 308 calories when using it on my biceps compared to 385 calories when on my wrist.

Hi All! Assuming I like Bevel and have chosen it as my main dashboard, what is the best wearable to collect data? What data is most valuable to Bevel in order to produce meaningful results?

I have a Withings scale and Wahoo HRM for exercise. I'd love something for sleep, glucose, and steps/all day heart-rate.

Finally, is Bevel a useful tool for long-term data retention and analysis? I have all my bloodwork since 2012 and Bevel properly imported them but there's no good way to track changes over time/analyze long-term trends. Is this a use-case Bevel considers appropriate?

Thanks to all!
