    I try to verify it

    Okay, this was a single measuring out of Suunto app on the S7, where I started a mountain bike ride for 10 seconds. The 59 bpm was immideately synced into Google Fit by Suunto wear app.

      Steps out of Suunto are syncing correct into Google Fit. I disabled all functions in Google Fit and deactivated all sensors and permissions (on the Suunto7 and in Google Fit app on the smartphone).

      Today the steps were:

      106 steps (Skagen Falster 3)
      1795 steps (Casio GBX-100)
      4834 steps (Suunto 7)
      = 6699 steps

      In Google Fit on the phone actually were shown: 6509 steps (sync is often half an hour behind the actual steps)

      I think that the steps from Suunto 7 are out of Suunto and not out of Google Fit.

        Can someone please do a short test?

        Disable activity tracking and sensors in Google Fit on the S7. Activate 24/7 step and hr tracking in Suunto wear app on the S7 ( add one of the new tiles and click on it to have the settings at the bottom of the screen).

        Do a short run in your garden or your living room on the same place to collect steps for about 5 minutes without starting an activity in Suunto wear app.

        After the test wait about half an hour and check your Google Fit app on the smartphone, if there is an activity showing up with 5 minutes and some data.

        Thanks for testing.

          @pilleus this is basically the exact thing I have been testing. Only steps AND heart rate data that take place during officially recorded activities sync with Google fit. The activity, with the steps and heart rate during that activity, sync with Google fit. The steps and heart rate recorded outside of tracked activity do not sync with Google fit ever.

            @russellllr but I have the steps in Google Fit and Google Fit on the S7 is completely disabled and not configured.

            And if I do a short virtual run in my living room to collect some steps it is listed in Google Fit on the smartphone as activity with steps and duration.

            I don’t record it with Suunto wear app. That’s why I asked for a short test.

              Yesterday I turned off all activity tracking within the Google Fit apps on both my phone and my watch. Activity, location, HR, all turned off.

              I am still getting SOME steps recorded in the Google fit app, but way under the actual amount recorded in the Suunto App.

              It does not state the source of the step data in GF, so I am assuming they are still somehow coming from GF itself and not from Suunto.

              I am not getting any HR data transfer across.

              I have not yet tracked an activity, but I am planning on a walk later today so will report my findings when I get back.

                @olymay As far as I can tell, we only get HR data for time spent inside an activity which has been synced over to Google Fit.

                  tracked an activity

                  With a tracked activity by Suunto wear app steps and hr are synced to Google Fit.

                  But for me steps and duration of an untracked walk are synced to Google Fit (not hr). And this without recording it with the Suunto wear app.

                  May be that someone can confirm this?

                    That’s the thing, it seems we are not getting HR OR steps sync across.

                    The data is there so why can’t it be synced across? If it’s a battery issue, just do it once a day at midnight or something? So that we can see a summary of the day and keep a record/rend. Or at an extreme, only sync when on charge.

                    But please allow all the data to sync.

                    (and while we are on data syncing, please allow weight data to sync from Google Fit INTO SA, this would save me doing it manually each week (or more accurately, it would save me from forgetting to do it each week!)

                      @olymay could it be that another device is actually providing steps to Google Fit? Maybe the smartphone?

                        Yeah, it has to be coming from somewhere.

                        But as I mentioned, I have turned off activity tracking in GF in both the watch and phone, so I am at a loss as to where it could be coming from.

                          I deactivated now the sync from Suunto wear app to Google Fit. Google Fit itself is not configured and completely deactivated.

                          Steps are counted and shown in Google Fit. Must be from Google Fit itself.

                          Another strange thing is, that on the S7 in the ressources tile activities are shown, which are not recorded by the Suunto wear app. I think that Suunto wear app is recognizing a short walk or run without tracking or its a resync from Google Fit!?

                          Here a screenshot from the S7. Yesterday in the evening I did some tests without recording. These are shown in the ressources tile on the S7, but not in Suunto app on the smartphone.

                              @olymay Agree with you as my step data in google fit (on watch and phone) do not match suunto steps yet all my google fit tracking is turned off (on phone & watch).
                              Got to wonder if it isn’t GA location services maybe giving it data, and or its taking the suunto data which is synced and rebasing it into its own step account.
                              Not a major issue for me as barely using google fit anymore as suunto app now has pretty much everything that GFit has.

                                @pilleus In the Google fit app settings you should see managed connected apps. Here you can see all linked apps/services that may be contributing to the step count.

                                Also, Suunto app on suunto 7 tracks steps automatically and, as far as I know, you cannot turn it off. So it may recognize things like running, even if you are not officially tracking it. That may be why it’s showing up in your resources but not in the app itself, since it wasn’t an officially tracked activity.

                                I really appreciate everyone’s help and discussion on this. Hopefully it’s just a server side update that Suunto can do to get it to full sync with Google fit again. I wonder why they don’t just add google fit to the partner services section on the phone app and have you link it there.

                                  Just had sleep data sync in to google fit but even that is inconsistent. For some days it shows sleep quality data but today’s just shows the length of time I slept. No idea what’s going on. It synced the data but doesn’t show all the information that it showed for previous days. Very odd!!

                                      Mine took a while for all of the data to be displayed in Google Fit. Give it some time now it’s been synced and see if it all appears.

                                        This would be the ideal solution in my opinion, as it would also allow weight data to sync from GF into Suunto.

                                          @olymay yeah you were right, it eventually synced the entire sleep data. Not sure why it only partially synced at first!
