Connect IQ app and data field · Live
Sweliv for Garmin
Your Garmin streams your activity live to Sweliv, through the data field or through the Sweliv app on the watch.
Before anything else: keep your phone with you, with Garmin Connect open in the background. A Garmin does not talk to Sweliv on its own, cellular models included: the phone is what carries your activity to Sweliv. Without it, the watch keeps everything and sends it as soon as the phone is back.
Two ways to link your watch
The data field goes into the Garmin activities on your watch; the Sweliv app is a real app of its own on the watch. The live is the same. Pick the one that suits your watch: no need for both.
Questions
Field or app, which one?
The field, if you want to keep your Garmin activities with PacePro, ClimbPro and your Garmin workouts. The app, if your watch has no field, or if you would rather start your sessions from Sweliv, with its own screens and your workout of the day. The live is the same.
Which watches are compatible?
The field: recent Garmin watches with Connect IQ, except the Forerunner 55 and older and the Instinct 3 Solar and E. The app: nearly every Connect IQ watch, Forerunner 55 included, plus the Edge bike computers.
Do I need my phone with me?
Yes, with Garmin Connect open: it relays your activity to Sweliv, for the field as for the app. Without a phone in range, the watch keeps everything and sends it as soon as the phone is back.
Who sees my live?
You choose who can watch you in the Sweliv app. From the watch you can turn off the live or your location: without location, your friends still get your time, distance and heart rate, with no point on the map.
