Sinque
Garmin + Sinque · the capacity signal

Anyone can get lighter.
The question is whether they get stronger for it.

On GLP‑1 therapy the weight comes off either way. Cardiorespiratory fitness is the signal that tells you which kind of weight loss you are actually looking at — and Garmin already measures it, every day, on the wrist. Sinque reads the direction and hands the clinician a decision.

— — weight— capacity

The same graph, twice

Two patients. One weight curve. Two different bodies.

This is the case for a second signal, and it takes about ten seconds to make. Both of these patients lost the same weight over the same weeks. On the scale — and in most clinic notes — they are the same patient.

▲ On track

Patient A

Weight
Capacity

Moving is getting easier, activity is holding, capacity is climbing. Weight loss is buying this patient something. Keep going.

▼ Intervene

Patient B

Weight
Capacity

Same loss, less capable. Under‑fuelling, too little loading, activity quietly collapsing. This surfaces months before the patient reports it.

The scale cannot separate them. Bioimpedance is least dependable exactly here — rapid mass change, shifting fluid. A fitness trend can, and it costs the patient nothing to produce.

How the signal reads

Two axes. Four situations. One decision.

Sinque does not draw Garmin's charts — Garmin Connect already does that better. It takes the direction and places it beside what it already holds: weight trajectory, monitoring adherence, and, where Sinque Evolve is in use, body composition.

Composition holding
Composition tipping
Capacity rising

On track

Fat loss with fitness held. No change needed.

Watch

Fitness holding, composition drifting. Review protein and loading.

Capacity falling

Watch

Capacity slipping despite favourable composition. Look at activity and fatigue.

Intervene

Both moving the wrong way. Act before it surfaces as plateau or dropout.

The rule: no single quadrant is the product. The value is that a clinician can see which quadrant a patient has moved into — weeks before the patient says they feel tired, and while the fix is still a conversation rather than a dose change.

When the watch arrives

Garmin is introduced because the goal changed. Not because the device existed.

Handing a patient every technology at onboarding is well intentioned and it backfires. Habits form through repetition in a stable context; several new behaviours at once make it less likely that any of them hold. So Sinque runs alone first — one ritual, about fifteen seconds, no number on the device.

Stage 1 · Foundation

Staying in

Medication, side effects, appointments, the scale. Sinque alone. Adding anything here competes with adherence.

“I hope this works.”

Stage 2 · Confidence

Noticing

Clothes fit differently, movement is easier, the routine has stopped costing effort. The question shifts.

“What else can I do?”

Stage 3 · Lifestyle

Garmin joins

Walking, cycling, a gym. The patient now wants to understand a body, not just monitor a weight. This is the moment.

“I want to get fitter.”

Stage 4 · Maintenance

Staying capable

The long half of the journey. Capacity, not kilograms, is the thing worth protecting against regain.

“This is who I am now.”

The framing matters as much as the timing. Not “you need to wear this watch” — but “you've built a routine and stayed with it. The next part isn't losing more weight, it's becoming stronger. Garmin can help you see that part.” One reads as another obligation. The other reads as a promotion.

Where this leaves the patient

The scale will tell them they succeeded. We would rather know it's true.

Garmin makes physical capacity visible. Sinque makes it clinical. Between them: earlier intervention, safer GLP‑1 care, and a weight‑loss trajectory a professional can defend as healthy — not merely fast.

Lighter is the result. Capable is the point.
