I bought yesterday Huawei Watch 2. Unfortunatelly, I can't sync my data (steps, calories) in Google Fit from my watch to my phone. When I wear a watch and a telephone at the same time, on both devices are the different data. I have the same google account on both devices. Does anyone have a similar problem? How to solve it?
Did you install the Huawei watch app and Huawei health?
Yes, I installed. But sometimes it doesn't sync with google fit. I don't know what kind of dependency. I noticed that the data goes to google fit on the phone, usually around 23 o'clock. Yesterday, I wear only smartwatch (without phone) and yesterday, for example, the data did not synchronize. I don't know how to fix it.
I went for a walk with my phone in pedometer only mode as battery was low..I came back with 17000 steps, this is reflected in the Huawei Health app on the phone.
However it doesn't seem to come to Google Fit in one go..slowly it has been increasing and is now up to 12000 steps from the 1600 it was at before the walk.
I don't understand the sycn between Health and Fit - if the apps are connected why doesn't it go into Fit as soon as the data is there?
Is there anyway to force synch, it's really annoying.
I don't normally use the phone in Pedometer only so didn't see this before, normally my watch faces are using Fit instead of Health so I see the results in Fit app on the phone a lot faster.
I'm having the same issues with my Huawei Watch 2 Classic and Pixel 2 XL phone. Please join this thread and send a bug report so that we can get this issue fixed! https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77606997
Hi,
Have you tried doing the following in Google Fit:
1. Enter settings
2. Turn off "Track your activities"
This work for me om ny Huawei Watch GT. Still I ONLY gir the steps, not the other data.

Hi, I am having trouble figuring out how to sync the exercise data from huawei health app from the watch to phone. Based on what I'm reading, I'm supposed to download 'Huawei Wear' app, pair the watch to that, and data should sync through 'Huawei Health' app on the phone. My problem is that the watch would not pair with the 'Huawei Wear' app. It kept on telling me to use Android Wear and sync it through that. If I did it that way, my watch still isn't listed inside Huawei Wear app, thus syncing the data isn't possible.
Can anybody drop in some knowledge on what to do? I get that I can disable Huawei Health altogether and just use Google Fit, but that's not what I want to do at this moment. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I don't know what is wrong in your case. Anyway... you need 3 apps on your phone: android wear, huawei wear and huawei health.If you can't get huawei wear to recognize the watch I recommend you to reset the watch ("settings"-> "system",->"disconnect and redefine") and reinstall the apps on the phone. I had to do that once and it solved some sync problems I was having.

Thanks man. I had all those apps, but pretty much what went wrong is that somehow, huawei wear wouldn't connect to my HW2 if I kept my LG Watch R connected to my Android Wear. Once I removed the LG watch, it started to work. Very odd. I still like using my LG watch R from time to time too, so I said screw it and just uninstall the Huawei products altogether.
my problem is that i need constantly to open the app and scroll down in other the sleep, heart and other data start to sync to the app in the phone. I had multiple devices first the Oneplus 3 and now the 6t and always had the same issue
I'm using Google fit because it tracks my daily steps\calories, is compatible with 99% of the watch faces, is free, and back ups online (or should). I haven't found any other app that does this, so if someone knows of one, PLEASE chime in. I'm pretty fed up with Google and their lack of support. Ever since I've had the watch (2 weeks), I have to go through some magical ritual of turning off BT\WIFI then turning it back on, then restarting my phone and\or my watch, and standing on one foot whilst singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" backwards, just to get the fitness data to sync. When it FINALLY does sync, I loose literally thousands of steps and calories. Yesterday I lost 14,000 steps, and over 1,000 calories. Today I lose 16,407 steps, and over 400 calories. I've submitted feedback to Google 3 times with no response, started a post on their discussion forums, and left a bad review on the Google Fit app in the Play Store with NO response from them at all. I figured I should ask here and see if anyone else has run into this issue, and what they did to fix it...or if there is another app that I can use that will ACTUALLY work. Thanks in advance everyone.
How am I the only one with this problem? What could I be doing wrong?
Got that too, same problem with synchronized with watch. On watch all OK but on phone app not auto sync And only as You said restarting watch helps
The only Google Fit problem I have is that the app refuses to use the watch GPS if connected to phone. Not sure why you have that You may want to nuke it and start fresh on your phone and watch.
I have before, and it appears to be getting better with the Wear 2.9 update. There's a lot to be desired with this Fit app and support, hopefully it'll get better in future updates.
I gave up and just went with Runtastic. It reliably syncs to MyFitnessPal and that's enough synergy for me. It doesn't seem to know what to do with treadmill walking, but it still marks down a couple hundred calories burnt after the workout. Fiddling with Strava and GoogleFit and HuaweiHealth just proved to be an exercise in frustration for me.
Can you please join this thread and send a bug report for this issue? Thanks guys! https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77606997
Hello.
After finally getting life back in the gear 2, I wanted to use it again. Downloaded gear wearables from playstore, connected the watch with Bluetooth after factory reset, but it can't see it at all in the wearables app.
Got past the login with the taping trick at start, but don't help me much when I can't set the correct time, get notifications etc. Atleast I can take pics and monitor the heart rate xD
Do anyone know a way I can make it see the clock in the app? Or another app that can connect with it?
I found a solution that worked.
GM all. I had been having trouble with my GW4 LTE (non-classic) not recognizing my home WiFi password, when it had been for many months. I have a Note 20 5G and I'm on the Android 12 Beta. So I wrote to the Beta community and he said to delete the Gear Wear an on the watch, reinstall from the Play Store, and I mistook it for saying to remove it on the phone. Now, when I try to reconnect with the GW4, it says it will delete everything and pair as a new phone/watch. The auto backup unfortunately DID NOT save ANY backups. I have a ton of watch faces that I bought (I know I should be able tor reinstall from Play Store), some watch faces that I created (I may be able to get back), but other data that I know will be lost.
Anybody know of a way to re-connect but preserve the data. There are ways to do it with Wear OS 2, but NOT Wear OS 3. My Tizen watches were not affected and I was able to save all my Samsung Health data to my GW3. Any help, thoughts, would be greatly appreciated.
hello, yes that would be good. i reinstalled wear plugin and wear app due to latest bug on plugin app now cant connect same phone to watch. it stuck at 80-90% during setup. Dont wanna reset the watch before getting my data. No solution?
I finally gave up and reset the watch and paired it again. All is well now. This time did an immediate backup after I tweaked everything I wanted. I will try to now remember to back up at least once a week. Happy Holidays everyone!
It all has to do with the "Galaxy Watch4 Plugin". If you're having any issues syncing between phone and watch. If you end up having to reinstall it then you'll have to reset your watch too. Make sure you backup!
Hi, folks. I have a couple questions regarding extra watch faces:
1) How many faces can be installed on the watch at once? If I remove some built-in faces, does that make more room for extra installed faces?
2) If I disconnect the watch and pair it with a different phone, do installed watch faces and apps persist, or are they deleted? The "disconnect" message says that all personal data will be lost, but I'm not sure if that includes installed watch faces and apps.
My reason for asking is that I'm considering factory-resetting an old phone, not installing a SIM card but using my current phone's wifi hotspot to install the AppGallery and Health apps on the old phone, in hopes that that will insulate the old phone sufficiently for me to fool it into thinking that I'm in a supported country and allow seeing the watch faces and apps that I cannot access from the U.S. However, that's pretty inconvenient, so I'll want to install as many watch faces as possible during that process to try out; also, if pairing the watch with a different phone deletes installed watch faces and apps, the whole exercise is pointless.
Thanks for any replies and especially any suggestions for being able to install watch faces and apps without having to physically visit a supported country.
A follow-up on this plan. It did work, sort of. I was able to use the old phone to create a UK-based account by keeping all location services turned off and using a UK temporary SMS number for verification. That enabled me to get watch faces and apps and install them on the watch.
However, when I went back to my main phone, deleted and reinstalled all the Huawei apps, logged into the account I created on the old phone, and attempted to connect the watch, the app and phone would not allow it, saying that they were different accounts and I needed to factory reset the watch in order to connect it. I tried turning off location services on my main phone and creating a UK-based account, but it still knew I was in the U.S. and wouldn't show the watch faces and apps in the Health app.
I'm definitely getting closer, and seeing the new watch face I installed on the watch when connected to the old phone really motivates me to make this work. Any suggestions will be very welcome.
And a final update on this: I eventually was able to get the watch faces and apps to be available on my main phone without needing to factory reset it. The method involved turning off all location services, rebooting after removing the SIM card, and using the wifi hotspot of a second phone that was VPNed to a UK-based server when creating the Huawei account. I'm not going to spend the time to write up the details, at least partly because I'm not sure that everything I did was actually necessary; hopefully this thumbnail description will be enough for anyone else in the same situation who's sufficiently motivated to replicate the results. (I will say that I'm much happier with the free watch face I installed from the gallery than I was with any of the faces that came preinstalled.)
Bump.
Not sure how it is on the GT3, but for my GT2 I just used my regular account on both my iPhone (main phone) and on an android phone, just downloaded the "custom" Huawei Health app to get custom watch faces. No factory reset or nothing, just connect to the other phone, install watch faces, reconnect to main phone.
Your steps sounded very complicated for something so easy. Unless it’s wildly different for the GT3. I came here mainly to see if my method would still work for the GT3 as it does for the GT2 (I ordered a GT3 Pro today, as it was on sale and I’m looking to upgrade).
i found thousands of free HQ watch faces here - https://faces4watch.com/downloads/huawei-watch-gt-3/
