Suunto 7 - Google fit integration must be improved

@pilleus What about Health Sync app?

Heart rate, steps, calories are recorded native by Google Fit. No need for syncing.

Health sync would be necessary only for the recorded activities. I tried several times but data sync is not as accurate as with SyncMyTracks.

I don’t remember what the problem was, but I don’t use it anymore.

@pilleus Thanx for all replies and help!

It works great if you are importing activities… from Garmin I kid you not. And it’s automatic. Anything else, including Suunto, is very unstable. Sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn’t. Most of the time, some part of the activity data doesn’t transfer over completely. No move minutes/heart points either.

@pilleus Isn’t working for me.
Tried this yesterday with 6.2km run and both Suunto app and Strava showed correct distance but Google Fit showed 1km longer. I have connected Strava and Google Fit but it still hasn’t corrected the data.

Sync to Google Fit via Strava or via SyncMyTracks?

@JANTIKAINEN I think when there are GPS tracks, Google Fit does its own distance calc. So, don’t expect an exact match.

No. Distance is equal in Suunto App on the S7, in the Suunto App in the smartphone, in Strava and Google Fit. If you use SyncMyTracks to sync from Strava to Google Fit.

Not for me. I always see it off when synced via SyncMyTracks.

With Android?

@pilleus With Android.

@NickK okay. I have checked my data. No errors, distance, speed, heart rate correct. No different values.

Just the summary on the home screen is not always updated. But after some time this will be corrected too.

I’m not really sure who is responsible for this. Is it a Suunto issue or simply something that Google needs to improve?

Google Fit has been around for quite a long time, but I never liked it.

@Yak-Ima Suunto should push actual activity sessions. Google should fix Fit in general. For once, it would be nice if they returned functionality taken away during redesign and web decomm… Like ability to create your own goals or edit any entries, even those synced by third parties.

Hey guys!
I would need your help!
Just got my Suunto 7 watch (my first Suunto product) and started to configurate it. Now i have problems to get the google fit app working on the watch. It seems there can‘t be build a connection as it says: „fit has problems with google play services. Please try again.“ but nothing happens. Anyone an idea?
Btw. i have an iphone X

Thank you very much for your help in advance!
Cheers Rafa

@Rapum I heard of this erroe message in the forum already, it’s probably easier if you search for it.

@Rapum I use an iPhone X, I didnt have any problem connecting with the watch. I followed the video in youtube of suunto and no problem. Take a look Here

Rapum

@Bulkan thanks for your quick answer! My problem is not to connect my phone with the watch itself but to get the Google Fit app working. Somehow the google fit app on the watch is not working. There can’t be built a connection and the watch always says „fit has problems with google play services“
Cheers rafa

@Rapum
as @isazi wrote, please search the forum for any google fit posts, there are plenty (most from @NickK and @pilleus )
it is more like a google fit issue than the watch itself (to me).

isazi

@Mff73 and if I’m not wrong, one user needed a reset to fix the same issue.

@vlado you must deactivate sync in Strava app (connection to Google Fit), because SyncMyTracks cannot overwrite an activity already synced from Strava service.

I have now tried running the free Syncmytracks on an old Android phone (am on iOS usually). It seems to read data from Strava and to write to Fit, but there are 0 activities showing up in Fit. Even after waiting 12h no activities.
What could that be?

Thanks!
