Specifically weight data... 

I-  use Apple Health and it can sync with my smart scale via VeSync app... 
- VeSync can sync to Apple Health... 
- Apple Health can sync to Withings... 
-  Withings seems like only app that can sync body measures to Golden Cheetah...?

BUT... Withings' sync from Apple Health, but doesn't seems to sync weight data from Apple Health to Withings (guess they want you to buy their scales?)

Is there some intermediary that can allow me to use my current scale, send weight to Withings or other app and get them into Golden Cheetah... like stuff like this to happen automatically.. that's why I got the smart scale..

Thanks,
Terrence.

One clarification... Withings does sync manually entered weight data into Withings... just not weight data from a 3rd party scale from Apple Health 😒

The only direct integration is with Withings, measures can also be imported from CSV files so if you somehow can generate the file then it is only one step, which we could automate eventually (https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/issues/4161).

Other than that, weight data is also imported from FIT files and used to set the Weight data field in activities, so if -for example- you have your weight updated on your Garmin watch (via a Garmin scale or manually in Garmin Connect) when you import an activity your weight will be imported too, but if you don't train or update weight before the workout, no dice.

Thanks for the response... thought I'd just ask in case I was missing something obvious.

UPDATE: Gemini gave me wrong info 😡... I tried it... and Apple Health to Withings to Golden Cheetah sync WORKS!!! 🎉

So sync from  my smart scale --> VeSync --> Apple Health --> Withings ---> Goldcheetah / Athlete Weight (metric) / Body Measure 'Weight' (on chart) works!!

Only problem.. all my historical weight data is in data field "Weight"... not metric "Athlete Weight" so for it to work auto-magically I'll have to switch from using "Weight" to track and use "Athlete Weight" instead... BUT... it's the begining of year.. maybe a good timing 🤷🏾‍♂️

Great, if you want to share details it may help other users

 With some work you could migrate your data, steps would be:
1) Create a Metrics trend chart for weight grouped by day and expor to CSV befor pe to start using daily measures or remove all entries if you created one
2) import the CSV as Body measures, this may require some format massaging you can likely do in excel, see

Actually Body Measure > Weight is not a good options on chart... I will use Workout Metric > Athlete Weight

 Body Measure > Weight uses the sync'd number from Withing, then fall sback to Athlete Weight (Athlete Settings)... NOT the Athelete Weight (Workout).. BUT... Athelete Weight (Workout) is the first fall back that you'd want!!
