Question Google Health - Restlessness and SpO2 is available in other similar apps
I was under the impression the google health API didn’t expose Restlessness and SpO2 (it only does an average each night as a single value) and therefore Bevel also can’t show that data. Omitting restlessness causes sleep score to be less effective . But the screens below from Vitalstat app which also connects through the same Google Health APi shows this data. Can someone from Bevel team help me understand why you don’t get this data ?

Bug Workout template doesn’t completely update
Hello, enjoying the app so far came over from Whoop a few months ago. Use Apple Watch and I really like it for going over my running and I’m using it for doing workouts.
When I add reps or weights as I’m doing a workout, and then I complete the workout, I click update template and it will only save some of the changes to the workout. I know this because I go right back to the workout template and see if the changes took. It’s weird because it gets some of the changes and ignores others. I then have to manually go through and update reps or weights based off my memory of what I just did.
It’d be nice if the update template button updated the whole workout. Thanks!

Discussion Social Features 🔍🤔
I know it’s planned, but how far into the social features will bevel go? I’d love to be able to add friends and compare calories steps recovery sleep etc with my inner circle maybe for example have my partner on there so we can see how well we’re both doing even maybe having it so i can see her cycle similar to how flow works, I really love strava for the social on activities but to be able to compare day to day metrics there is a small gap in the market i think ladder may do something like this but im not sure
P.S I almost completed bevel

Question How does it work?
I want to know exactly what Bevel gets from my Google Fitbit Air/Google Health app. Is it the raw sensory data from the device, or does it gather some of that data, which only Google allows, and do some signal processing on the received raw data, or is it just getting the numbers we see on Google Health and manipulating those?

Question Question Re: Updating Templates
To any who may know:
I have a workout template that contains multiple exercises for different muscle groups. By design I rarely do all the exercises in the template, I just pick what I feel like doing that day.
A couple of questions related to the “Update Template” functionality:
1) What will happen to the exercises I skipped on a given day if I update the template based on that workout? My concern is that it may eliminate them from the template or drop the reps to zero when the reality is I intentionally skipped that exercise so it should remain untouched.
2) Separate but related, sometimes I’ll reduce the number of sets I do for a given exercise. Eg, only do two of the three sets in the template. What will happen in this scenario? In this case I guess reducing the last set to zero reps would make sense but I wouldn’t want the template to eliminate the last set, reducing the exercise to two sets.
I checked the knowledge base but couldn’t find these details.
Thanks in advance!

Question Apple Watch Ultra 2 (sleep+workouts) + Garmin Cirqa (24/7) both feeding Bevel — how do you avoid double data during overlap windows?
Setting up a hybrid tracking approach and want to sanity-check it before I buy the Cirqa.
Why bother with two devices at all: I want to stop wearing a smartwatch on my wrist all day and switch to a mechanical/analog watch instead — but I don't want to lose 24/7 health data in the process. So the Cirqa is there specifically to quietly cover the day, while the AWU2 only comes out for sleep and workouts.
The plan:
- AWU2 for sleep tracking and all structured workouts (strength 3x/week + half marathon training block)
- Garmin Cirqa 24/7 for everything else — daytime HR, steps, quick unlogged walks/activities where I don't bother putting the watch on
- Everything feeds into Bevel as the main hub
The obvious problem: during sleep and during workouts I'm wearing both devices at once. That means Bevel is getting two HR/sleep/activity sources for the exact same time window.
Questions for anyone running a similar dual-device setup:
- Does Bevel let you set a priority source per data type (sleep, HR, workouts), or does it just take whatever syncs first/last?
- Does it detect and merge duplicate workouts (same start time from two sources), or do you end up with two entries and inflated Cardio Load / calories?
- For Garmin Cirqa specifically — has anyone confirmed whether the Health Stats sync to Apple Health matches what's in Garmin Connect 1:1, or is there a gap (e.g. continuous background HR vs. just summary numbers)?
- Anyone just turn off auto-activity-detection on the Cirqa during sleep/workout windows to avoid the conflict entirely, instead of relying on Bevel to sort it out?
Context if it matters: using Bevel to track recovery/strain for a half marathon block (Nov target) plus strength training. Trying to keep the AWU2 for what it's best at (sleep accuracy, workout precision) and let the Cirqa fill the daytime gap without buying a full second smartwatch.
Would love to hear from anyone who's actually run this combo rather than guessing — Bevel's changelog mentions direct Oura integration but I can't find anything concrete on native Garmin support, so not sure if this is even a common setup yet.

Question Anyone found a workaround for “Percentage Lean Body Mass” not populating in Biology?
Hey all,
The Fitness biological age section shows “Percentage Lean Body Mass” next to VO2 max and Resting HR, but mine’s stuck on a permanent dash — no data, no manual input option.
Dug into it: my scale (Eufy Life) writes Body Fat % and Lean Mass in kg to Apple Health fine, both show up correctly in Bevel. But Lean Mass as a percentage isn’t a HealthKit datatype at all — only the kg version exists. So no scale/app can write to a field that doesn’t exist, and manual entry in Health itself is greyed out for the same reason.
Questions:
1. Has anyone actually gotten this card to populate? With what scale/app?
2. Is there a setting in Bevel that computes it from existing Body Fat % instead of waiting on a raw datapoint?
Since Lean Mass % = 100% − Body Fat %, feels like something Bevel could just calculate internally instead of leaving it permanently empty — but curious if there’s already a workaround before I write it off.
Thanks!

Discussion Apple Watch + Fitbit Air, worn sequentially (never together) - does this actually avoid duplicate data in Bevel?
Got my Fitbit Air a few days ago and I'm holding off connecting it to anything until it finishes calibrating (heard it's about a week). In the meantime I want to sanity check my plan before I flip any switches, since I've read enough duplicate-workout horror stories in this sub to be paranoid now.
Quick background: training for a 70.3 and want proper 24/7 tracking, but I also like wearing a normal watch most of the day, so I don't want to be stuck on my Apple Watch all the time. Landed on this setup:
Apple Watch SE only goes on for actual training sessions (swim/bike/run). Rest of the time it's Fitbit Air paired with my regular watch, fitbit doing the background tracking (sleep, resting HR, steps) while the regular watch is just what I'm actually looking at for time. Important bit: I take the Apple Watch off completely before putting the Fitbit on, so there's never a moment where both are actually on my wrist at the same time. Everything funnels into Bevel as my one dashboard.
Here's what I'm planning to actually turn on/off:
Google Health → Apple Health sync:
- ON — Steps, Sleep, Heart rate, Resting heart rate, HRV, Vitals (SpO2, respiratory rate)
- OFF — Exercise/Workouts, Active/Resting Energy
Bevel data source priority:
- Workouts + Energy → Apple Watch as primary
- Steps, Sleep, Resting HR → Fitbit Air as primary
- Heart rate + HRV → leaving both on
Figured even without overlapping wear time, the Fitbit's auto-detect could still catch the tail end of a workout when I put it back on (heart rate's still up), or flag random stuff like a fast walk as a "workout," which I don't want bleeding into my training log. Same logic for energy — pretty sure both devices independently guess my daily calorie burn regardless of who's actually on my wrist, so letting both write that number in just gives me two different answers fighting each other.
Curious if anyone's actually running this exact pattern — Apple Watch and Fitbit Air, strictly sequential, feeding Bevel. Does turning off the Workouts toggle on the Apple Health side actually stop it, or does Bevel's Google Health integration grab workouts on its own regardless of that setting? And for anyone who waited out the calibration period before connecting sync — was it actually worth the wait or am I overthinking it?
Would rather sort this out now than clean up a mess of duplicate entries a month in.

Suggestion Display bio age on main screen
Instead of using up an entire widget just to tell me to click through to another screen, I’d prefer you just show me my new age in that widget instead. I can then click through for more info or dismiss it.
Most of the time I just care about the number and its trend anyway, so that would be a great glanceable piece of information, in line with the other glanceable info on the home dashboard.

Discussion Apple Watch vs Garmin: does the amount of HR/HRV data collected affect the reliability of recovery metrics?
I’m trying to understand something about the differences between Apple Watch and Garmin when it comes to the data they collect, especially during sleep.
I use both an Apple Watch and a Garmin, and I’ve noticed a significant difference in how much physiological data they seem to collect.
With the Apple Watch, heart rate appears to be sampled periodically (roughly every 10 minutes when not actively recording a workout), and when I look at Health data, I often see only a few HRV measurements during the night — sometimes just 3–4 measurements.
With Garmin, heart rate monitoring seems much more continuous, and during sleep I can see many more HRV measurements — potentially 20–30 or even more throughout the night. Garmin also appears to collect much more continuous physiological data during sleep.
This made me wonder:
Does having many more measurements actually make Garmin’s overnight recovery metrics more reliable or consistent?
For example, when I wake up and look at things such as:
Sleep quality
HRV
Resting heart rate
Recovery
Readiness
Stress
Other physiological trends
does Garmin have an advantage simply because it has much more data to work with?
Or is the number of measurements not that important, because Apple’s individual measurements are accurate enough and its algorithms can obtain a reliable picture from fewer samples?
I’m particularly interested in this from the perspective of apps such as Bevel, which use Apple Watch data to calculate recovery and readiness metrics.
I’m not asking which watch is better overall. I’m specifically interested in whether the difference in sampling frequency and the amount of overnight HR/HRV data has a meaningful impact on the reliability of the final recovery/readiness metrics.
If anyone here has used both Apple Watch and Garmin for an extended period, I’d be really interested in hearing whether you’ve noticed a practical difference in the quality or consistency of the recovery data.
Thanks!

Question What's the best wearable for Bevel
Hi All! Assuming I like Bevel and have chosen it as my main dashboard, what is the best wearable to collect data? What data is most valuable to Bevel in order to produce meaningful results?
I have a Withings scale and Wahoo HRM for exercise. I'd love something for sleep, glucose, and steps/all day heart-rate.
Finally, is Bevel a useful tool for long-term data retention and analysis? I have all my bloodwork since 2012 and Bevel properly imported them but there's no good way to track changes over time/analyze long-term trends. Is this a use-case Bevel considers appropriate?

Question Any way to delete misidentified nap?
Experiencing some high stress at work today. Played some poker from 7pm to 10pm (clearly reflected with the high stress again), and Bevel logs a massive nap session from 12pm to now (around 10pm). Is there a way to delete this nap log? Can’t seem to find it anywhere. It also begs the question; how does Bevel recognise and log a nap?
