Syncing Virgin Pulse with Apple Watch
To sync your Virgin Pulse account with your Apple Watch, you must first ensure that you have the Virgin Pulse mobile application installed on your iPhone. This app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, but for iOS, you will need iOS 12.0 or higher.
Next, confirm that your Apple Watch is paired to your iPhone. If you have Automatic App Install turned on, the Virgin Pulse app should already be installed on your Apple Watch. If not, you will need to manually add the Virgin Pulse app.
Now, open the Virgin Pulse app on your iPhone and tap on the "Profile" button at the bottom of the screen. In the "Devices & Apps" section, locate the "Apple Watch" option and enable data sharing permissions between Virgin Pulse and the Apple Health app. Ensure that Apple Health shows as "My connected devices and apps".

Uploading sleep data to Virgin Pulse
To upload sleep data to Virgin Pulse, you must first connect a sleep-compatible device to your account. This can be done by opening the Virgin Pulse mobile application on your device and tapping on the "Profile" button at the bottom of the screen. Then, in the "Devices & Apps" section, locate the "Apple Watch" option and enable data-sharing permissions between Virgin Pulse and the Apple Health App.
It is important to note that Virgin Pulse does not receive any sleep data from the Health App. Instead, it pulls only steps and active minutes from the Apple Watch.

Once connected, your Max Buzz will sync automatically whenever you open the Virgin Pulse app on your mobile device, and you can view your sleep data under the "Tracking" page by clicking on "Stats" and scrolling down to the graph labeled "My Sleep".
To ensure that your Apple Watch is syncing with Virgin Pulse, make sure that Apple Health shows as "My connected devices and apps". Go into the Health App (the heart-shaped icon built into iPhones) and enable data-sharing permissions. If the data is still not syncing, make sure you have the latest version of the Virgin Pulse app, then disconnect and reconnect the Apple Watch.
Additionally, to track your sleep on your Apple Watch, you must wear your watch to bed. This option is available during setup if you've paired your Apple Watch with your iPhone beforehand. If you pair your Apple Watch after setup, you can still turn on sleep tracking later. Make sure your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before bed, with Sleep Tracking enabled.
