Dear Gear S3 users,
I noticed that the auto HR isn't the same as the Gear S2???
In the settings of my Gear S2 I could choose how frequently I want to auto track my heart rate with different timings but with the Gear S3 I can only check in or check out this option (HR on or off), see pictures in attachment, there is no other option, at least I can't find it.
For now, when auto HR is on the watch tracks only each hour my hear rate, if I can't change this as I could do with my Gear S2 (auto track each 10 minutes) then it's a huge step back from Samsung!
I was happy with 10 minutes auto tracking my HR (it would be better if it tracks each 5 minutes or even better every single minute) but as for now "every 1 hour" is so bad :/
Is there something we can do to change this???

Hi,
since yesterday i have a HW2. Usaly im a wearable user like miband, garmin, Fitbit...and brand new in the android wear universe.
- there are no "nightmode" ?? Do not disturb and shut down your Display between 10pm and 6am setup?
- there a no sleep tracking per default? I try sleep as android. But that lights the display all the night with "Sleeptracking" - and in the morning there are not data
- no altimeter, no barometer per default? (see it on the S3 frontier per default)
A lot of questions and not enough answers

On the clock screen pull down a little shortcut menu that contains airplane mode, sound, theater mode (turns the display black until you press the power button), do not disturb, settings.
There are no sleep tracking. There is though a app called "sleep as android" you can download as you mentioned.
Barometer and altimeter can be showed in some watch faces
Thanks. Today was the second night that sleep as android crashes after 4 minutes on my OP3
Yesterday i had to charge the HW2 2 times - that a but to much. Have to optimize that thing.
Today i try it at my desk. Sleep as android crash after 3-6 minutes on my handy. Dont no why. This log-logger from the faq dosent make a file. Very anoining.
Heart Rate sensor while a bike round. Im not sporty. If my wrist is wet....i get ~70Bpm. If i try that it shows me like i feel. 140Bpm and more. Go ahead and my wrist is wet again....plays start from the begining.
The first 10 Minuites are NOTHING...till the time i dry my wrist.
Today after 11 hours I had only 15% left of the watch. But it was down to 40% before I did a 20 min run with endomondo on the watch and listening to music with bluetooth headphones while running. I also hade a sim card in the watch and the display set to always on. So it was heavy usage. But I did not run for long time..
Air pressure/Barometersensor look not calibratet or whatever. Here we are at 1022hpa, whatch show 1009. Yesterday 1020hps - watch show 1009hpa
A few days ago when I was doing absolutely nothing all day, I got about 12 minutes somehow on the 30 minute "moderate to high intensity" fitness ring but i've no idea how as every day otherwise, including today, it stays at 0.
I just went for a 45 minute run, keeping my heart rate in the aerobic and anaerobic zones - on the Huawei Health app on the phone (which oddly displays a slightly different number of steps) the ring is completed and says 41 minutes. On my watch.... still 0.
The app is connected to the watch, which is listed under "Me -> My Devices"
Any idea what's going on?
Restarted the watch, no difference.
Did a "clear data" on the app on the watch. Now the green ring works but the blue one (steps) doesn't (it stopped at 292 for some reason) - meanwhile on the phone, which has clearly synced with the watch as it has my exercise record from my 5 mile walk, it says I've done 10000 steps but 0 minutes.
Guess I'll just ignore the rings then if they're buggy, which is a shame as they're a nice feature. Alternatively might look into selling this thing and going for a Galaxy watch.
Hi, I am looking for a watch (or band/whatever) that can measure my HR continuously for the entire day. I would like the HR to be shown on the home-look of the watch (next to the hour) and it needs to be always ON
I have seen that the Fitbit inspire HR does this (in the display you can see the hour and you HR below), but the screen is always turned OFF until you touch it. Is there a way you can set it up so it's always ON (even better if you can set hours to sleep and turn the screen off)
Or recommend other watches/bands that do this please, no need to be fitbit
thanks
The recent Fitbit device has no always ON screen, just one device the Fitbit Surge.
Otherwise use some Garmin Watch.
Hi, sleep recording in Samsung health in very random, deep sleep 15 min each night, not sleeping for 1 h and a half, clearly not accurate. Does it works better android app or simply the watch can't make better ? (GW 4 by). Also, while hiking, Samsung health stops recording hearth rhythm for 5-10 min, restarts again, stopping again and so on. Same question, with another app can I get better results ? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

The Samsung sleep monitor in health doesn't work work a crap. It'll say I slept 2 hours when I slept 8, etc.. Download sleep for android on your phone and watch and use that. It works awesome. It even has an alarm setting that looks for the perfect sleep pattern to wake you up so you're less tired. I have mine set to only 20 minutes within my alarm time, and I feel pretty good most mornings. Hope this helps with that piece.
As for heart beat and such, I've never had an issue with both my watch 4 and watch 5. You might want to try a factory reset of the watch for that.
I got a question. On my old Gear S3 when i enabled auto workout detection and started running, after 10 minutes my watch said "Keep it up!" And i could track how long i was running and stuff. Is there a way to have this on my Watch 4? Cause it does auto track my workouts but i cannot track em trough my watch and it does not pop up after running for 30minuted and stuff while i'm exercising. Thanks for the help!
Nobody?
I was using this option long time ago. If I remember well you can switch on Auto detect Activities in Settings - Samsung Health . Watch detects only walking and running, after ~10 minutes. Tracking screen should pop up or there will be small Activiti icon at screen bottom. Just touch it to see full tracking.
