How sensitive is the Gear Sport in sensing excercise on eliptical trainer? I did the training for 2 hours 5 minutes but the data on my samsung health app on my phone which is connected to the smart phone says only 1 hour 8 minutes. I was wearing the smart watch.
Any suggestions?

I just got this watch 3 days ago, Sony smartwatch 3, for the reason it had its own standalone GPS reciever. I work for the railroad running trains. And can't have my smartphone on me. So I'm looking to setup my watch for checking the speedometer on the train. Specifically MPH, with a satellite accuracy mark as well.. All the apps I've been trying only work when my phone is on and connected with its GPS on. Anyone know of any androidwe apps that will work for me? Thanks!
Mytracks and Runtastic are the only apps i know of that can operate the gps independent of the phone.
Hi,
I'm using Gear S3 with S7 edge. Once I start workout using the phone S Health app it doesn't show up on the watch. In addition it doesn't use watch HR sensor so it's kind of useless. I would like to track cycling with BT speed/cadence sensor connected with S health (works fine with phone) with HR data from watch.
I've tried to start same activity on the phone and on the watch but the data won't merge eventually.
Is there any way to monitor an activity on the watch once initiated on the phone?
I tested several watches sw2 from Huawei and the result is ...with GPS on and listening to music plus mobile phone connection the watch will run for 3-4 hours
Can you confirm this test?

Since the builtin HR sensor kinda sucks for real fitness monitoring, I would like to use a HR strap for that. I know it's not possible to pair it directly with the watch, but I was thinking to pair it with the phone using S Health (ANT or BT sensor) and then use the strap provided HR instead of the one from the watch in fitness tracking exercises.
Any idea if that would be possible?
Yes. You can use a strap with S-health and pair it wth your phone.
But since the phone allows only 1 bluetooth device to be connected, the phone will have to be connected with the watch by other means (WIFI/LTE)
You can use hr strap with gear S3 - you need watchface called Sporty Watch
There is an option to connect the watch

Who said you can connect only 1 Bluetooth device?

Pair, you can.
But you can not use the BT connection to more that 1 device + 1 headset
Is there a way to access the HR function on the Gear S2 from my (android) phone as if it was just a HR monitor?
I know I can run an app like Samsung Health or Endomondo on the S2 and have it record my HR, but for super secret reasons known only to me I prefer to run the activity app from my phone. Sadly, in that case, I don't seem to be able to use the S2 HR function.
