Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ok, so the HealthFit app is brilliant for pushing .fit files to Dropbox or OneDrive. Is there even a semi-automated way to get those to fetch beyond remembering to manually upload one at a time?

I'm currently failing to share apple watch files to Garmin via Run Gap app. Is there anyone else who uses this method? Not sure if it's just me

I've bypassed the issue by downloading the GPX file from Run Gap and manually uploading to Fetch. I hope I can fix the Run Gap to Garmin issue because it's an important step in automating the upload to Fetch.

I used to use rungap - now do exactly the same thing with a FIT from HealthFit - it seems a wee bit more reliable

Newbie Apple Watch user ahoy! I have managed to sync stuff into Rungap (and it has gone to Garmin Connect - yay me!!).

The problem for me to solve now is the watch tracks using the Maps app within my watch/iphone and that doesn’t go over to either (all) Rungap, Garmin connect and obviously not to Fetch! Easily fixable??

That's odd. Had no such trouble when I used RunGap - certainly not experiencing problems with HealthFit.

Here is how I have to get my data into Fetch from my brand new Apple Watch Series 9 curtesy of a Vitality Health Insurance deal.
1. I linked Apple Health on my iPhone to strava allowing 2 way read and write. Just tested today with a walk and can see it on Strava.
2. Within strava in a browser view, I opened the walk, then pressed the 3 dots on the left. This shows export options. I used the GPX one, then downloaded this to my iPad (I guess this would work on a PC of phone too).
3. Opened FetchEveryone and located import training, and found the recently downloaded GPX file and imported it. I then deleted the download on the iPad to save memory.
This worked and I could see my track details in Who’s Square Wins game for instance. I guess this would also work by downloading from strava the 'Original File' that looks like a FIT file.
It’s a bit cumbersome.
If only FetchEveryone could pick up tracks from Apple Health directly automatically.

I don’t know what possessed me to buy an Apple Watch, but I did. So now I’m going to get the most out of it. I don’t run that much but my elderly garmin recently died in a way that rendered it unusable. So I read this thread, downloaded RunGap, watched a video on U Tube from a very nice American man explaining how it worked, paid the annual fee of £9.99, and OMG it works. It acts as an interface between Apple and garmin and it actually works. I did it, technically inept though I am. All my runs for this year have transferred from Apple to Garmin and onwards to Fetch, and I don’t need any more watches. I might need to go on the app and press sync once in a while but otherwise I’m sorted for the next year. So it does work.
