GPX file format supports HR data just fine, Samsung elected not to put it in there.
GPX export option from within Samsung Health: This mostly works fine for doing it one file at a time, except one catch: It doesn’t export your heart rate data. You’ve got two and a half basic ways to go about it:Ī) Use the. But for the purposes of exporting data out of the watch, it’s equal. In fact, that even gets taken a step further for Galaxy phones vs a vanilla Android phone in certain features. If Paired to Android Phone:Īs one might expect, the Samsung watches generally have more features when paired to an Android phone than not. Got all that? Good, we’ll probably refer to it a few times. Now, a super brief graphical overview of how the Samsung watches work from a fitness file standpoint. My actual review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active will come late next week, after I finish collecting a bit more data. It’s basically just a quick how-to guide on a single topic that seems to perplex many. Note that this post is definitely not a review of the Galaxy Watch Active (or S Health aka Samsung Health).
No worries, that’s not a concern here since Samsung doesn’t use. CSV is considered a file format, it’s not a fitness one. When I’m talking files, I’m specifically talking about something you can download to your computer and then load onto various fitness apps/platforms. And even on Android getting a file with HR data included is tricky business too. They make it darn near impossible, depending on whether you’re on iOS or Android. See, while most companies make it relatively painless to download completed workout files – Samsung takes the opposite approach. This year with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, the story is no different.
Or more specifically, out of the Samsung app that accompanies the watch. And each of those years I get a few workouts into it and remember what a complete nightmare it is to get data off of the darn watch. For each of the last three years or so, I’ve started the review process of a Samsung GPS watch, all variants of either the Samsung Galaxy line or Samsung Gear lineup.
