Question Step counting on app and watch - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hello
I get my watch 4 tomorrow, but have setup the apps.
Do steps count on the watch AND the Samsung Health app, or once connected, just the watch?

They should sync with each other. There may be some settings involved.

Mr. Time Maker (Make own watchfaces or use finished faces)

Thanks to supersoulfly, he wrote it already:
I don't know if this app is available in the US market yet, but it became available last night in Korea. It lets you do custom analog watchfaces and download ones others have made.
It needs a watch app from the gear store, a google play app on your phone, and a website is used to make the custom faces.

It works great! I already made a few faces.
It's really a great app. Here's some I've made.
Any improvements let me know!
(28/10 Seamaster updated to higher quality and daylight version added)
Did anyone have trouble with the app constantly logging you off?
Digital readouts or no?
I prefer digital watches instead of the analog hands, but I need one with the date displayed on the main screen, is it possible to make this type of watch face on this website/app?
Not in a hurry because Im returning my S2 and waiting for the S2 Classic to show up anyhow, but...
Not digital, no. Sorry
The app will not allow me to send watch face to the phone. I'm signed in but that option is grayed out. I can cancel or make it a favorite but not send to phone. Am I doing something incorrectly?

Reboot your watch and try it again (holding the home button for 7 seconds)
Having the same issue. It is grayed out. I rebootd my phone and watch and it still does work.
The same here... Sending option is grayed :/ Any clues (besides rebooting, as it has done)?
After installing MR.TIMEMAKER app with the samsung app store you must select MR.TIMEMAKER watchface at your gear s2 than you could send the watch faces to your watch.

I wasn't able to find that in the Galaxy Apps (store). All I found was the app on Google Play.

I am assuming this will work on the 3G version?
The Samsung app store on my Galaxy Note 5 was messed up so I backed everything up and factory reset the phone. After the restore, I finally can see the app and watch faces in the store again. Yay!
When all else fails, RESET!
Anyone notice the watch face displays Chinese writing with a checkmark sometimes using custom displays? Also I swear it doesn't wake as often using tilt. Could just be me on the last issue though
I get through all the watch creation stages and then it refuses to geberate the watch. Annoying or what. Anyone else got this problem and solved it?

Switching from Apple Watch - a few questions!

Hi guys,
After buying an S7 edge (switched from iPhone), I'm looking to sell my Apple Watch and get the Gear S2 but have a few questions for all you fellow owners:
1) for a WhatsApp notification, does it vibrate and show you the message on the watch face?
2) do all push notifications come through to the watch? I used to have the Flashscores app on my iPhone and it used to notify me on my Apple Watch of any football goals and final scores etc.
3) are there new apps being released weekly? I've read that the tizen app store isn't as supported as android wear?
4) how accurate is S Voice in comparison to the OK Google thing?
5) is there a way to control Spotify on the watch?
Thanks guys [emoji4]

So I've had this watch for about two months so I hope I can help ya with some of your concerns.
1: when any notification arrives on your phone, your watch will vibrate and will only show up on your screen if you raise your wrist to check the watch. That's good.
2: anytime your phone gets a notification, it will show up on your watch. If you don't want a specific app to bother you, you can mute the notifications for the specific app!
3: unfortunately I've been somewhat disappointed with the app development for tizen. Slowly more and more apps are coming out, but definitely not as fast as they should be. My main reason this doesn't concern me much is that the watch as it is comes with the essential apps such as messenging, GPS, and email. Heck you can get a third party YouTube app which is nice. Whatapp is not on the app store but you will still receive notifications on your watch and should be able to respond from your watch.
4: s voice is terrible in comparison to Google. But it's "okay"
5. I'm actually unsure of Spotify. I can try to test for ya. I'll get back to ya. Edit: just made an account and yup you can control spotify or any music playing on your phone.
Hope this was coherent enough for ya

google fit and huawei fitness app

i'm having problems with inconsistant data from both apps. Google fit is able to pull in data from my sleep app etc but the steps counter is way off. I like the huawei app due to the pulling the heart rate data to show lows and highs- whereas the google app doesnt? the huawei app also doesnt pull in the sleep data from sleep with android. what is everyone else doing- disabling one or the other? thoughts please
Not sure if this helps... But I was having problems with getting the Huawei Health app to recognize my phone... I had to install the Huawei Wear app on my phone first then have it sync to my watch... Then the Huawei Health app started to sync...
Long story short... Wondering if you need to install the Huawei Wear app on your phone as well to get things to sync properly...
Hope that helps

You can disable the app in the settings on the watch.

How did you manage to pair Huawei Wear app with your watch? Did you have to unpair it from Android Wear first? No matter what I do, I could not successfully pair my HW2 sport with the huawei wear app, whether or not I have it paired with Android Wear...

Do the data to Google Fit synchronize to you on a regular basis or only at certain times?
I haven't watched it that closely, but it syncs on a regular basis... Atleast once a day...

I did not have to unpair it... I did have some issues initially... I ended up removing the Huawei Wear app and reinstalling it and it worked after that...

It does however I have issues that it seems that sometimes it's not Google Fit doing the tracking and it's pulling the data from Huawei Health, which in turn causes issues with trying to get it to sync with Nokia Health as that only includes data that Google Fit tracked itself, not what it also imported.
And why is:
- My Google Fit app on watch is showing 826 steps
- My Huawei Fit app on watch is showing 792 steps
- My Google Fit app on phone is showing 1112 steps
- My Huawei Fit app on phone is showing 745 steps
This is so confusing
Edit: I even have a different result between huawei wear app and huawei health app on my phone. OMG

I'm seeing similar;
Watch Daily Tracking: 5265
Phone Google Fit: 5295
Watch Google Fit: 5353
Phone Huawei Health: 5362
It sure would be nice if Huawei had documentation detailing their software. I'm inclined to stick with the Huawei fitness apps if for no other reason than they capture more data; fingers crossed it's at least somewhat accurate.
Can you please join this thread and send a bug report for this issue? Thanks guys! https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77606997
Whats the trick to getting sleep data into Fit from the Health app? Everything syncs but sleep data for me.
You know its kind of depends on the amount of time you had you watch on your wrist or your phone in your pocket, also the apps measure this seperately and we know none of them are very acurate to show the exact number of steps so having a difference of say 100 steps would be ok
I have also noticed that google fit sometimes gets stuck on last day's results! Thats the worst part actually...its a real shame that huawei only updates the health app on phone and not on the watch!
the latest updates to GF does not accept data from Huawei Health or a lot of other apps, on contacting Huawei their answer was that end-users should speak to Google about it.
At the moment the only thing the HH is good for is the sleep recording as the figures for the other activities never match up, the data can't be easily moved to another device

I'm too new here to post a URL apparently..
If you google "Samsung Gear Watch Designer" you'll find the watch face designing tool.
If you find out how to modify an existing watch face that came preinstalled, please let me know! I'd love to modify the Activity Sparkles watch face to have a date on it.

With Blood Pressure to work, you have to install Samsung Health Monitor app ( SAMSUNG app store ).
If this Samsung Health Monitor does not show up for you (in Samsung app store) its most likely that your Region is not supported.
Please note
You have to find out if your Region is supported by Samsung ,for this function to work .?
You also have to calibrate the watch via this Samsung Health Monitor app with a Blood Pressure machine/monitor .It is actually very straight forward .
Just follow prompts on the relevant app .
In Watch face studio there should be 3 or so examples
I had to learn via "trail and error "
Good luck
