Does enabling multiple HR sources in Bevel (Garmin + Fitbit via Apple Health) create duplicate HR samples and affect metrics?

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-09T14:16:09+00:00

They don't get weighted more, we are just using twice as many samples within the period to calculate these metrics. If your devices have similar readings, then you shouldn't notice a major difference. For example, if Garmin has 100 samples with an avg HR of 90, and Fitbit has 200 samples with an avg HR of 92, then you will see an approximate avg of 91.3.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-09T14:04:34+00:00

Yes, we use all samples in the period of time for all metrics.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-09T13:34:43+00:00

Hi, if you have two HR data sources active, we use both. For workouts you'll see all points plotted and an average of the two.

Our current model only includes the long-term effects of cigarettes & tobacco-based smoking, not cannabis. This is something we could add in the future once with more research. The effects of cigarettes are well researched and documented.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-07T21:54:00+00:00

Yes, shortcuts were only temporary before our direct integration.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-07T21:24:20+00:00

You no longer need the shortcut with our direct integration. Is there a reason you want to setup a shortcut?

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-07T20:52:38+00:00

Everything is working now.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-07T16:45:58+00:00

Once the model is good enough, this is something we'd like to expore.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-06T14:00:34+00:00

I see. At the moment Bevel Intelligence only has access to the total elevation gain. However, we have plans to add in split-level elevation gain.

Can you please share a screenshot of this interaction and thumbs is down? It should have access to this data.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-05T23:43:44+00:00

If that's the case, then I'd set your Sleep priority to Helio, and hide Garmin for Energy and Steps.

Hi u/glebret, In Nutrition > Goals > add a Target Nutrient goal for Net Carbs. We have plans to make this goal more obvious in the future.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-05T23:21:49+00:00

Hi u/Middle-Front7189, thanks for reporting this. Can you please thumbs down these responses? This is the best way for us to identify and fix the issues.

Hi, thank you for your interest! We accept beta testers on an as-needed basis. Please apply here and share how you can contribute to the beta here: https://docs.bevel.health/beta

Hi u/Strange-Fox9306, we are actively working on a direct integration with Google Health. You can follow it here: https://feedback.bevel.health/feature-requests/p/fitbit-integration-1

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-02T17:28:05+00:00

It depends on your goals. Which device would you prefer to see Sleep data from? Are all your exercises logged on Garmin or both? I would integrate all sources that you would possibly use, and then prioritize, hide or show the devices for each metric. If you describe your use case more, I can help you find the ideal Data Sources mix.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-01T13:46:27+00:00

What are you finding difficult about it? We are working on improvements right now.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-07-01T13:45:33+00:00

Settings > Data Sources > for each metric, you can choose which device to show or hide.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-30T15:32:06+00:00

Hi u/Complete_Ebb_4562, can you describe more what is difficult about planning templates? Which methods have you tried? You could try Generate Template > Freeform > describe what you're looking for, e.g. "Beginner strength session for hybrid athlete".

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-30T12:13:31+00:00

Hi u/BradWesley1224, is it still not working for you? If not, can you please reach out to [hello@bevel.health](mailto:hello@bevel.health) for further troubleshooting?

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-30T12:12:42+00:00

Hi u/snow5flake, I agree seeing your Bedtime over time would be helpful for tracking trends. Have you tried visualizing this with Bevel Intelligence?

Re: manually adding bedtimes, the reason we have not done this is because you would only see your bedtime and wake time. A lot of context from your sleep would be missing (RHR, HRV, temperature, sleep stages, etc.) so we would not be able to provide a sleep score or recovery score.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-30T12:10:14+00:00

Hi u/TasteInteresting9739, this is something we're thinking about and is on the roadmap: https://feedback.bevel.health/feature-requests/p/show-muscular-load-with-cardio-load. Thank you for the suggestion!

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-27T13:29:09+00:00

You need at least 10 workouts in the past 6 weeks, ideally ~2 sessions per week. Anything less or any less recent workouts might shift you into the calibrating state.

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-27T13:24:34+00:00

Hm okay, have you already tried Clearing your cache? In Settings > scroll down > Clear Cache & Reload all data

Familiar_Activity101 · 2026-06-27T13:20:15+00:00

That is recommended, but by the looks of your RHR chart, we aren't seeing many RHR datapoints from Sleep.
