For the best experience, start your workout at the same time in the Nix Biosensors iOS App and on your Garmin device. Your Garmin device will display Fluid Loss and Electrolyte Loss as measured in real time by your Nix Pod during the selected Activity.
When you’re ready to end your workout, make sure you end your workouts on both your smartphone and your Garmin device.

The Nix Activity and the Garmin Activity are currently not synchronized whatsoever: it does not matter which you start and end first. Please note the Nix data is not written into the Garmin FIT file at this point in time. After your workout, it will be exclusively available in the Nix Biosensors iOS App.
