So I'm sort of interested in purchasing a Gear 2 Neo, and am always using runkeeper on my phone to track my distance, pace and calories burned and was wondering if the Gear 2 Neo can do the same?
I'm also curious as to whether it works with RunKeeper or not, as I like to track all my runs with it.
Yes, it can measure calories burned, heart rate, distance traveled, steps taken as well as speed.

As already mentioned above, yes it can. One of the included apps is called Exercise and it will track your running, walking, cycling, and hiking. I use this for my walking and running (on the elliptical) and it gives me: start time, duration, distance (miles), calories burned, avg speed, max speed, avg pace, max pace, and average heart rate.

Thanks for the replies. I read something about the tracking not being accurate due to not having GPS. Does anybody know how it compares to using runkeeper on my phone?
I dont' understand how it work for bikking because there isnt' steps counts with this sport ... what's happening with this ?

I'm looking for help finding a good fitness app. I have the Zepher hxm heart rate monitor. I am looking for an app that will track constant calories burned using data sent from the hrm. It seems that most of the apps either don't use the data from the hrm in its calorie count or they only use the average heart rate from the work out. I would like the app to accurately and continuously track my calories burned not just an average from the work out. A lot of my work outs may are interval type where my heart rate is up high only for short bursts of the work out. Any help would be appreciated.
Really enjoying the watch but I have an issue with the calorie counter on S Health, it seems to decide I've already burned a significant amount of calories each day by the time I've woken up. For instance, the last couple of nights I have gone to bed with the watch next to me (I don't like sleeping with a watch on), once on aeroplane mode and once just as normal. When I then wake up at 7am and look at the S Health counter on the watch, it seems to decide that I've already burned about 500-600 calories for the day! Whilst I would love to burn that in my sleep, it's obviously well off.
Is it possible to set it so that the calorie counter is at 0 or a realistic level until I put the watch on in the morning? Or is the issue that I'm not sleeping wearing the watch?
you are living and so you burn calories
the value without moving is calculated on your age, weight,sex

But if the poster is not wearing the watch during sex - how is it calculating the calories burned??

The calories count on my S3 are completely wrong.
The actually counting from S3 shows enormus calories burned during the day - more than 11.000 average and at the same time, within calories counting during running it counts just 61 calories during 35 minutes of fast running 12,5 km/hr (my age is 63, height 189 cms and weight 86 kgs). Something is completely wrong.
Any idea how to correct this calculations?
I am having the exact same issue. I burned insanely 25 000 kcal today. Amazing. But when I was running for an hours, I only burned 60 kcal. Better doing nothing
Omg, I am annoyed. Also, it did not show the distance run etc. This is new and I must say, I am sorry that I have purchased this watch. Nothing for fitnessfreaks like me....
Unlike Apple Samsung takes into consideration your basal metabolic rate . So when you plug in your age, sex and weight it's going to use that to calculate your BMR. Any calories burned through actual exercise will just be added onto that.

Well I must have an outstanding metabolic rate. In taking the watch off the charger and putting it on my wrist in the morning I burned 575 kcal!! Come on. Just like several other things it's not working right. Anyone have a work around?
can anyone point me in the right direction for finding a great fitness app that can connect to a chest strap heart rate monitor? using primarily for monitoring heart rate during weightlifting. Unfortunately samsung health will not track heart rate for weightlifting.....
The UnderArmour suite of apps should be able to do it. I'm not sure I'd call them "great" - I've had some syncing issues, but theoretically, it should do what you're looking for.

I use UA Record while doing strength training (basic compound lifts) or conditioning type work in the gym. I just pick "Gym, other" although there are options such as upper/lower body. The only lists that get my heart up are squats and to a lesser extent deadlifts. I can hit 120 BPM on heavy squats.
You get a workout timer on one screen and HR on the other.
When I do conditioning workouts I can get my HR up as high as 190 and show a calorie burn around 500 for a half hour. Which is about right.
For runs I'll use MapMyRun.

Yeah it takes almost 2 days to update the app on the phone, not syncing with samsung health.

Hey, it appears that UA Record syncs better than Map my run, thanks!
Anyone have any luck getting this to sync with Samsung Health or myfitnesspal? I can't get it to sync with either... The latter is made by the same company lol.

I use Endomondo for weights, spinning & kayaking. Same company as UA. No problems with syncing with Samsung Health.
I'm using my watch during my bike session everyday but after two months I don't have the VO2MAX value...why? Do I need a specific procedure or other to get il? Or I have some problem with my watch?
Hi
It seems that VO2MAX is only estimate when running or walking on the huawei watch 2, and you have walk or run for 10 minutes minimum to have an estimation.

You need power aka cadence and heart rate to estimate your cycling vo2max. Nothing on this planet can do it accurately for a bike without cadence.

ok thanks...but in dayly monitor app i have BMI value and VO2Max Value, and info says that this index can be estimated during my fitness session....now, i know i need specific device for an accurate value, but i was thinking the watch uses an algorithm to estimate that value...
I have a watch 2 classic and it looks like the heart rate sensor works fine only up to 110-120bpm. After sports when my heart rate is way more than 150bpm it always shows something in the 110-120bpm range.
I don't care if it is off by +-5bpm, but being off by 40+ is definitely not ok. I understand that movement during sports could pose a problem, but that happens after I sit down and am not moving at all.
Does the heart rate sensor work for you normally for higher bpms?
If it does, then I should probably send it to be repaired.

looking at my data via the Huawei Health app over the past few weeks, there have been a few instances (when running) when my heart rate got above 175. maybe the watch is not registering your heart rate during those peak times, so it only catches it on the way down?

I doubt it. I have tried it many times using google fit, huawei health or just by launching the heart beat app. My heart rate was definitely much higher at that time than the watch measured.
Does it only peak for you or is it above e.g. 150 for a longer time?

so looking at my 18-min 2-mile run on Tuesday, my heart rate was above 150 from 8:08am to 8:16am. keep in mind that my rest heart rate is about 55. i know that's a small sample, so maybe I'll test on an elliptical machine next time I go to the gym.

I think that's a good sample. Now I know that the sensor should be working and it's obviously not. I've only seen it peak a few times above 150 and then it was back to 110-120. I'll check if my brother's watch can measure my bpm correctly and if my watch can measure his bpm correctly. Then I'll definitely know if the watch is a problem or there's something with me
