Thanks

@cathcaunter you can try to use them, but not at the same time. Please read provided link

hi,
i just tried and couldnt get my watch to re pair with MC again
i will just wait untill SA is working more stable for notifications

thanks for the help.

@cathcaunter You can’t use both of them simultaneously unless you have 2 android devices, and even then your watch will only pair with one device at a time.

thanks for the reply
yeah i unpaired from MC and added to SA and then added back to MC as if i use SA which i prefer some notifications dont work,si will stick to MC for now.

I do have a question about movescount if some one can answer,
when i log an activity it showes on web and it syncs fine,but on the me page the steps and calories are showing as zero for today,do they not sync over from the MC app?

where are you checking steps and calories ? SA ?

@cathcaunter
It works just fine (at least for me).

You can have your watch paired with both app on Android (no need to unpair). Just force close the one you dont use.
Begin the first pairing by MCapp, sync.
Force close and open SA and pair once and sync.
When you switch from one app to the other, if retrieving the connexion seems long, don’t hésitate to shutdown Bluetooth on phone and app will ask you to turn it on : do it, and it may be good.
Good luck.
