Enable merging workouts from different sources (detect duplicates)
under review

I have to track workouts on two apps to get benefits from my health insurance (Vitality). They need workouts logged directly by Apple Fitness in Apple Health, not third party integrated workouts.
If there’s no integration possible with Vitality points directly, please can you enable workouts over the same timeframe to be merged (e.g. Apple workout on Watch with HR zones + Bevel workout on iPhone with exercise info) so that exertion info is not duplicated.

Merge strength and garmin data

I had to turn of workout data from garmin when using workputmodule in bevel due to double counting of ie steain. This will diminish my use of bevel since I loose valuable data from workout just logged with garmin.

Title: Truly combining data from multiple devices (Apple Watch + Fitbit Air) for maximum accuracy
I chose the Fitbit Air over the Whoop precisely to continue using Bevel, which I prefer over the Whoop app. My configuration: the Apple Watch for running and sports, the Fitbit Air worn 24 hours a day and at night. I often wear both at the same time.
The problem: today, when both devices record the same activity, Bevel shows two separate sessions. Strain, Cardio Load and Calories are then counted twice. The only solution proposed is to hide a source, which is the same as throwing data from a device when it is useful.
What I am asking for: instead of separating the two devices or forcing me to choose one, let Bevel really use the results of both to get the best possible precision.
Concretely:
1. Fusion of sessions: when two sessions overlap, combine them into one that combines the best of each device (e.g. GPS and Apple Watch pace, heart rate cross between the two sensors).
2. Cross heart rate: compare the two signals in real time, rule out outliers (loss of contact, misplaced sensor) and calculate a curve that is more reliable than that of a single device.
3. Sleep, VFC and HR at rest: when both are worn at night, cross measurements to refine the sleep and recovery score, rather than keeping only one.
4. Continuity: when only one device is worn, switch automatically to it without data holes or duplicates.
Two sensors are better than one: if used properly, they would give more accurate measurements than any device alone. That would make Bevel the best app for anyone who combines an Apple Watch with a 24-hour tracker, and that's exactly why users like me choose Bevel over Whoop.
Thanks!

Customise auto upload of workouts

Oliver Nightingale
When I go for a run, where apple health, bevel, starva and garmin app are all synced it uploads 1 run 3 or 4 times.
Maybe have it so the apps can sync data but you can turn off the auto upload feature of the workout
Leah
Hi Oliver Nightingale You can turn off individual data sources by going to Profile → Data Sources → select the relevant Health Data type → hide the source. That being said, I agree that automatic detection would be helpful, and I’ll add this as a feature request.

Steps double counting w Fitbit AIr (google health) + Apple Watch (apple Health)

I wear a Fitbit air most of the tkme but periodically use Apple Watch as well and noticed double counting of steps when trying to link both Apple and google fitbit. Can you please allow for this integration but intelligently deduplicate the records.
Leah
Hi Nick Gazos Have you tried customizing your data sources? Go to your profile → Data Sources → Health Data, and hide any sources you don't want included. I'll also add duplicate activity detection to our feedback board, but this can serve as a helpful workaround in the meantime.

Don’t double count workouts and steps when multiple devices worn
A

I sometimes wear both my Apple Watch and Fitbit air. When I do this I notice it double counts steps and workouts and therefore messes my strain and other values. Can there be a way to only use one data source when both are worn or for it to be able to do it on its own.

Please please please merge activities so we don’t have to worry about duplicate stuff

Merge Activities

I would love to be able to merge activities into one workout. Two examples:
I track my bike ride to the gym and the gym workout, but it’s actually my cardio + weightlifting and would have this as one workout block and data.
I track a lot with my garmin, but use the gym workout feature in bevel, I would love to combine both data sets. Right now it’s double, garmin gives me a way more accurate heart rate zone and shows as a workout tracked though garmin but doesn’t have the weights and stats I added in bevel, just the option to add it in post. The other way around, the bevel tracked lifting session is showing different heart rate data.
