Wearable Converter now converts Apple Health exports into Garmin-ready import files. Same tool, same $9 licence, and if you already own a key, Apple Health support is included at no extra cost. Along the way we found something worth knowing even if you never use the tool: the raw Apple Health export double counts your activity, and in our first real test the inflation was 62 percent.
The converter at wearableconverter.com/tool now accepts the export.zip your iPhone produces from the Health app, alongside the Google Takeout ZIPs it has always handled. Detection is automatic: drop the file, and the tool works out whether it is looking at Fitbit, Google Health, or Apple Health data. Dropping the raw export.xml from inside the zip works too.
Everything that made the Fitbit path work is unchanged. The conversion streams through your browser, so even multi-hundred-megabyte exports process without your data going anywhere. The output is the same set of Garmin-ready CSV files, split by year, in the one format Garmin Connect's importer accepts for historical wellness data.
Garmin Connect can already link to Apple Health, and that link is genuinely useful, for the future. It carries across roughly the last two weeks, then syncs new days forward. Your history stays on the iPhone. There is no Apple Health option in Garmin's importer, and Apple's export.xml is nothing like the format Garmin accepts.
So the choice until now was a handful of GitHub scripts and manual spreadsheet surgery. Most of those fall into a trap that quietly corrupts the result, which brings us to the interesting part.
Apple Health records the same metric from every device you own. Your Watch logs your steps. Your iPhone, sitting in your pocket, logs the same steps. On screen, the Health app resolves the overlap so your daily total looks right. In the raw export, every copy is present, labelled by source, with nothing resolved.
In the first real export we converted, a 10-month, 116 MB file spanning two Apple Watches and two iPhones, summing every record produced 1.98 million steps. The true figure was 1.22 million. Distance inflated by the same 62 percent. Any converter that naively sums the export writes that inflation permanently into your Garmin history.
Wearable Converter resolves it the way the numbers demand: records are totalled per device per day, the highest single source wins that day, and two devices are never added together. Third-party apps that write steps into HealthKit are neutralised by the same rule. Your converted totals will come out lower than a raw sum, and that is the entire point.
Daily steps, distance, calories (active plus resting), floors climbed, and exercise minutes, which import as very active minutes and appear as Garmin Intensity Minutes. On the body side: weight, BMI derived from your height record, and body fat percentage where a smart scale wrote it into Apple Health.
What cannot transfer: sleep, heart rate, HRV, and SpO2 history have no import path into Garmin Connect from any platform, Fitbit included. Individual workout sessions use a different Garmin import path and are not part of this conversion, though their steps and calories are already inside your daily totals, so the daily history loses nothing.
One more honest caveat: setting up a new iPhone or Watch can reset the day-level detail in Apple's own export, so workouts often reach further back than daily totals. The converter reports the exact date range it finds in your file before you import anything, so there are no surprises in Garmin.
The launch conversion was a real 116 MB export: 314 days of daily history across four device sources, weight and derived BMI included. The output imported into Garmin Connect and landed in Health Stats, activities and body composition both. The engine that shipped today is the engine that passed that test.
On your iPhone: Health app, profile picture top right, Export All Health Data, confirm, then save the export.zip to Files or AirDrop it to your computer. Drop it into the converter, download your year-by-year files, and import them at connect.garmin.com, oldest year first. The Apple Health to Garmin page walks through every step, and the full guide covers Garmin's import screens.
Apple Health was the most requested source, but it is not the last. Samsung Health is on the roadmap, and with Google Fit's APIs heading for shutdown in late 2026, that migration wave is coming too. If you want those updates as they land, the news page is where they'll appear first.
One licence, every supported source, no subscription. Start with the Apple Health guide, or go straight to the converter if you already have your export.zip.
