I just started cycling and usually I bring my note 9 and gear sport. I noticed that most watch face shows the steps, floors and heart rate. Some show distance covered by walking. Any cycling watch faces? Or is it best to leave it with the default cycling activity watch face?

hi,
i was using garmin vivosmart HR for my training, the screen was always on so i could watch over my pulse.
now with the Gear S3 i can see my pulse during training if i start a s-health training and i also got the HR application from the samsung store but both cannot override the watch configuration and always stay on.
if i choose always on, when my hand is on the eliptical (where i run) the watch shows the watch face, not the HR.
only if i get my hand up - i see the HR.
any hack for this?
There is an app called: I am alive. It let's you to keep the display on. Battery drainer though.
Hello,
my S3 frontier only tracks the heart rate when I´m doing nothing and not while being active.
As soon as my watch recognizes any activity, the heart rate is not being tracked anymore, whereas outside of any activity, the heart rate is tracked about every 10 minutes. Is that normal?
Thanks for answers
When you say "active" do you mean a workout or other planned activity?
When I start a workout on my watch (e.g., elliptical) my heart rate is shown on my watch the entire time.
So sounds like you mean you're just being active (not starting a workout type on the watch) and while you're doing that you can't get a heart rate from the watch?
I work as Tennis Coach and sometimes in Group Training, I Start playing myself. The watch recognizes this as "other workout". I dont start a workout by myself on the watch. And in this time, the heart rate stops being tracked. If I want to track it manually it says that I have to clean my wrist. So it seems that the sweat stops the watch tracking my heart rate. I dont know
I've never got this to work. Using the Walk function I walked around our mall, a distance of .7 mi, and it shows either a mile or a half mile, the heartrate is in the 120 range, and the time is off by 20 mins. Anyone have an answer for this? It kinda defeats the purpose of having a "fitness" function when it's not accurate.
Auto pause and / or Dynamic workout might be your culprit.
Auto Pause will automatically pause the workout if it thinks you are taking a break, then restarts it when you start moving.
Dynamic Workout Detection will start a new workout if it thinks you are exercising. It might be overriding your Walk function if it thinks you're doing more than walking.

Greetings,
I really want this watch but have a few specific questions to ask before purchasing that I can't find anywhere else:
What sport profiles are available? SUP? Kayaking? Open Swim?
Does it work with an LG V 30?
Can you create custom interval workouts with this watch or third party apps such as 2 minutes on and two minutes off?
Thank you in advance!!
Using the widget on the watch I can see the standard activities are walking, running, cycling, and swimming.
Would love to be able to switch running with kayaking or indoor rowing machine.
On the app settings on the watch it can auto detect walking, cycling, elliptical trainer, rowing machine, and "dynamic workout" - this is the catch all option for any vigorous activity.
Would be much better from a logging point of view if a better range were selectable.
I think there also ought to be a way to get heart rate monitor to switch to continuous while exercising.
i have custom watch face which minimize three opr rate below 15%. after turn on my gear s3 watch always on display, the watch cannot completely show. Anyone know how to make the watch face display as completely?
