🚨Loyalty points and activity history

While we work on enabling the direct synchronization of the app with various connected devices (watches, GPS), we recommend following these steps:

To automatically receive your loyalty points

  1. Sync your connected device with your Decathlon account via the Decathlon Connect app.

  2. Sync your compatible sports apps (Garmin, Coros, Polar, Fitbit, Strava…) with your Decathlon account.

To find your outing in your history

Start navigation simultaneously in the Decathlon Outdoor app on your phone by tapping “Start.”

This allows you to:

  • ensure the real-time tracking of your activity,

  • guarantee the attribution of your points,

  • and find your outing in your history.

If you are on iPhone, you can use a third-party app like Footpath to navigate directly from your Apple Watch thanks to the GPX export.
