My Garmin steps are not accurate. Follow
Before you start, here are a few things to note!
- If you're using more than one tracking device, you can only view your steps from one device at a time in the "Steps" chart, located on your Stats page. This chart will display "Daily Highest" steps by default. To view your Garmin step data, select "Garmin" in the drop-down menu.
- Confirm that you have connected your Garmin account to your Virgin Pulse account. This connection is required in order for Virgin Pulse to pull the activity data from your Garmin account.
Navigate to the "Devices & Apps" page located under your profile picture in the right corner of the top navigation menu. Scroll down to the Garmin section, and you should see a link icon in the top right corner of the section to indicate that you are connected. If you are not connected, check out the "How to connect Garmin to Virgin Pulse?" article to get started! Once you are connected, your steps should display in your Virgin Pulse account. - Try to refresh the connection between your Garmin account and your Virgin Pulse account by disconnecting and then reconnecting to Garmin
Navigate to the "Devices & Apps" page located under your profile picture in the right corner of the top navigation menu.

Click on the "Connect" button and follow the on-screen prompts to connect your account. Once connected, your steps should display in your Virgin Pulse account. - Did you manually add any activities in your Garmin account via the website or mobile application for the date(s) in question? If so, this could cause a step discrepancy if additional steps were added to your total. Unfortunately, Virgin Pulse only receives steps recorded by the Garmin device itself.
