they do - and this is why I buy their stuff.

but a lot of these folks are uploading everything to garmin connect and letting it have your data and do the work.

If you do local sync, can you work with the files directly? I.e. if I don't want to upload to garmin connect, can I just tell Claude to use an API or reverse engineer the files? I've had a venu 4 for a few months, and finished my connect+ trial, and want to setup my own analytics.

I just connected my Garmin watch to charge via usb, enabled disk access, going into folder GARMIN/Activity/ and uploaded one of the .fit files to claude web and asked a summary and graph, it seems I had a nice evening bike ride that day :)
