FAQ

Which Garmin models work with SKYNA Pulse?
Every Garmin watch or cycling computer that syncs to Garmin Connect, Fenix, Forerunner, Venu, Epix, Vivosmart, Vivoactive, Instinct, Tactix, MARQ, Edge cyclometers, and legacy models from Fenix 5 / Forerunner 245 onward. If it shows in your Garmin Connect app, SKYNA can read it.
How does SKYNA receive Garmin data?
Through Garmin Connect's official API. Your watch syncs to Garmin Connect normally; SKYNA reads from there with your permission. We never replace Garmin Connect, we sit alongside it.
Why does my older watch show fewer metrics than newer ones?
Garmin enables newer features (Body Battery, Sleep Score, HRV Status) on newer hardware first. SKYNA shows whatever metrics your specific model computes, same as the Garmin Connect app itself.
Will SKYNA blend my Garmin Body Battery with my Oura Readiness?
Never. Each device's algorithm stays intact. Body Battery is Garmin's reasoning; Readiness is Oura's. SKYNA shows both with their own labels so you read the differences yourself.
Do I need to keep Garmin Connect installed?
Yes, Garmin Connect is how your watch gets data to Garmin's cloud. SKYNA reads from there. Don't uninstall it.
What if I have multiple Garmin devices (a watch + a cycling computer)?
All data from all your Garmin devices flows into the same SKYNA timeline. Your Edge ride data joins your Fenix daily metrics under the same Garmin chip.
