Your Garmin Can Now Help You Earn Real Money
You already track every run, ride, swim, and step with your Garmin. What if all that data could actually pay you? Cadoo is a fitness gaming app that connects to your Garmin watch and turns your workouts into real cash rewards. Every mile you run, every lap you swim, every step you take can count toward winning money in Cadoo fitness games.
Cadoo connects to Garmin through the Terra API, which means every Garmin device that syncs activity data is compatible. Whether you own a Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, Vivoactive, Enduro, or Instinct, your workouts automatically sync to Cadoo and count toward your active games.
How Cadoo Fitness Games Work With Garmin
Cadoo offers money-motivated fitness games across five main activity types. When you connect your Garmin to Cadoo, your watch data flows directly into the app through the Terra fitness data platform. Here is how each activity type works with your Garmin device:
Running Games
Garmin is one of the most popular running watches on the market, and it works perfectly with Cadoo running games. Join a running game, set your daily distance goal, and every outdoor or treadmill run recorded by your Garmin counts automatically. Cadoo tracks your distance in real time, so you always know where you stand. Most running games require 3 to 5 miles per day over a set number of days. Hit your target and earn cash.
Cycling Games
Whether you ride outdoors with a Garmin Edge or track indoor cycling on your Garmin watch, Cadoo cycling games accept your ride data. Join a cycling game, log your miles, and get paid for every qualifying ride. Indoor trainers, outdoor road rides, and gravel adventures all count as long as your Garmin records the activity.
Swimming Games
Garmin watches with swim tracking (Fenix, Forerunner 945/955, Venu series, and others) sync pool and open water swim data to Cadoo. Join a swimming game, log your swim sessions, and earn money for staying consistent in the water. Garmin accurately tracks laps, distance, stroke count, and swim time, and all of that data feeds into your Cadoo game progress.
Walking Games
Walking games on Cadoo track distance, and your Garmin handles walking distance measurement with GPS precision. Whether you are doing a brisk morning walk, a lunchtime stroll, or an evening hike, your Garmin syncs the distance to Cadoo automatically. Walking games are some of the most accessible on the platform and a great starting point for anyone new to Cadoo.
Step Challenge Games
Step games on Cadoo track your daily step count, and Garmin devices are excellent step counters. Your Garmin records steps throughout the day and syncs them to Cadoo via the Terra API. Join a step game, hit your daily step target, and get paid. Step games are perfect for people who want to earn money just by moving more throughout the day.
How to Connect Your Garmin to Cadoo
Connecting your Garmin to Cadoo takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps:
- Download Cadoo from the App Store or Google Play and create your free account.
- Open a fitness game that you want to join (running, cycling, swimming, walking, or steps).
- Select Garmin as your tracker when prompted to connect a device.
- Authorize the connection by signing into your Garmin Connect account. This links your Garmin data to Cadoo through the Terra API.
- Start your workout using your Garmin watch as you normally would. Your activity data will sync to Cadoo automatically.
Once connected, every qualifying workout recorded on your Garmin flows into Cadoo without any extra steps. You use your watch the same way you always have. The only difference is that now your workouts can earn you money.
Which Garmin Devices Work With Cadoo?
Every Garmin device that syncs data through Garmin Connect is compatible with Cadoo via the Terra API. This includes but is not limited to:
- Forerunner series (55, 165, 245, 265, 745, 945, 955, 965)
- Fenix series (Fenix 6, Fenix 7, Fenix 8)
- Enduro series (Enduro 2, Enduro 3)

- Vivoactive series (Vivoactive 4, Vivoactive 5)
- Instinct series (Instinct 2, Instinct 3, Instinct Solar)
- Edge series (cycling computers)

If your Garmin device records workouts and syncs to Garmin Connect, it works with Cadoo. No special setup beyond the initial authorization is needed.
Why Garmin Users Love Cadoo
Garmin users tend to be serious about their fitness data. Cadoo gives that data a new purpose beyond personal tracking. When your run, ride, swim, or daily step count can earn you real cash, every workout carries a little extra motivation. Cadoo does not replace your training plan or change how you use your Garmin. It simply adds a financial reward layer on top of what you are already doing.
Many Garmin users also appreciate that Cadoo tracks a single data source per game, meaning you pick one tracker and it stays locked for that game. This prevents cheating and keeps the competition fair for everyone.
