Howdy everyone,
I just purchased a Huawei watch that I'd like to use to replace my FitBit plus lots more that you can do with Android Wear.
Odd thing that I'm dealing with is that the watch and phone are reporting wildly different steps - it appears that Google Fit on the watch and Google Fit on the phone are not communicating.
I have looked at the Google Fit Connects Apps -> Google Fit apps & devices, but do not see the Huawei watch listed - if the watch is connected properly, should it show up here? If it is supposed to be listed to connected Google Fit properly, how do I make that happen?
Thanks.
Which app is set to count your steps in the actions menu?
Android Wear App -> scroll to the bottom -> More Actions -> Show me my steps -> Fit
Good question. Ive been thinking about this. Given that Fit is on the device and the Huawei fit app is also there, which app gives the better stats, as they show different step counts. Also, if you are using the Google Fit app, is that only counting steps when you have your phone on you, or does it count steps when you leave your phone on your desk?
Edit:
Just tested it and it appears as though Google Fit uses the watch to calculate step data as I left my phone on my desk and went for a walk, and the step count increased.
I have the same problem i was expecting the watch would be connected to the phone app but it doesn't look like it. So what happens when i start one of the predefined activities on the phone such as stationary bike the watch is not doing anything. I can only start tracking from the native wear app which has very few predefined tracking types. Is there any solution to this?
Not sure if this is a common bug or not - if I do NOT have Fit installed on my phone, fit tracks steps on my watch fine, but if I install Fit on my phone, it just reads zeros for current activity on the phone and the watch.. but if I uninstall Fit on the phone, it seems to work fine on the watch. Trying to figure out if it's a phone or watch issue. I did give it permissions to read sensors on both phone and watch on install
Same issues
Google fit did not record steps on my gen 1 Moto 360. I just bought the Huawei Watch as a replacement and fit still does not record steps. The Huawei app works great. I am at a loss on how to get this working. I can't believe it does not work at all. There has to be a setting issue but I have yet to find it.
Update: I have Fit working pretty well now. (have to go back and change my rating of fit from 1 star to maybe 3 ) Here is what I did:
- Deactivated Fit on my phone and deleted all the data. Then I reactivated it.
- I went into the Wuawei fitness app and connected it to Fit. There was not an option to do it the other way. But after I connected it it shows up in connected apps in Fit.
- Everything pretty much started working after this. One thing to note: Everything does not sync automatically. I have to open my Wuawei fitness app on my phone and update it before those steps seem to show up in Fit. So, it is not perfect but it is close.
Old thread but if you guys are still having the same issues with Huawei Watch and Google Fit, please join this thread and submit a bug report. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77606997

I've had my Moto360 for seven days... pedometer worked great the first two days, then Zero. The last five days show 0 Steps, but the first two show over 2,000... I've restarted the watch and phone. Heart monitor works fine. Bad sensor maybe?
Please help!
Did you turn off save fitness data?
That was it. Sorry for being a dumbass... I didn't knowingly turn off save fitness data, but sure enough it was turned off. Anyway, thank you the reply!
How do you turn it back on
moto 360 wont register any steps.
I have the same issue. for the first week, the pedometer on the moto360 worked, and showed my complete step history on the watch. Then something happened, either when I installed google fit on the phone (which I have now removed), or I opened s-health on the phone (samsung galaxy note 4) which was a huge mistake. Prior to this, I never used any fitness apps on the phone, and it did not register my steps.
Now only the phone registers steps (badly, about 2x the actual steps), and the watch registers no steps, but shows steps from the phone. E.g. If I take 100 steps wearing only the watch, 0 steps are registered and displayed. If I take 100 steps holding the phone (not wearing the watch), it registers around 200 steps. If I take 100 steps both holding the phone and wearing the watch, it registers 200 steps.
There does not seem to be any way to disable step registering on the phone, and enable it on the watch - I guess this is an incompatibility between moto fit, samsung s-health, and google fit - all 3 apps are not compatible, and there is no way to uninstall or disable any of them. In this regard the iwatch has a clear advantage (for rich people).
The other issue is that I don't want location services on on my phone - I value my battery. If I disable all location services, then no steps are registered, neither if I walk with the phone nor watch.
Install moto body. Without it , fit won't register steps. I almost sent my watch in for repair thinking it was broken. Fixed my issue.

I can't start navigation my Moto 360 for some reason. I used to be able to say a location, and it would open Maps on my phone, and the navigation would start. Now when I try to navigate to a location it says to check phone to continue, bur nothing is there when I check my phone. It the Android Wear app on my phone it says for navigation that it's using Maps Micro, not sure what that is and why it's not the full Google Maps. I'm on CM 12 on my Note 3. I tried reinstalling Maps, and restarting my watch.
I have the same problem. I just got my Moto360 and was under the impression, that one could start a navigation directly on my watch.
Anybody?
A fix was pushed out via the phones maps update yesterday. Motorola recommended giving about 20 minutes after the app updates on the phone for the changes to sync to watch

And it's still not working. At least not for me...
The downgrade of maps worked on my LG G watch . Thanks for the link.
I had a similar problem with my Huawei Watch + Note 4 (stock). My Smartwatch 3 does not have the same issue, so I figured it had somethong to do with using the GPS in the phone vs the GPS in the watch, which to the best of my knowledge there is none in the Huawei. So I pulled the phone out of my pocket, opened my LED Flip Wallet case, put my phone in standby, and gave the navigation command on the watch. Surprise surprise, it worked! But, I noticed the screen came on on the phone and "Maps" opened. So I then closed the flip wallet, tried again. This time I got the error on the watch, Can't Start Navigation. Seems like it's the flip case! That's too bad, I really like my flip case.
So in short, if you're using a Samsung and one of their flip wallet or S-View cases, that could be your culprit. Seeing as Android Wear is Google and the cases and phones are Samsung, I doubt either party is going to help us with this issue. Hoping someone smarter than I can come up with a software solution or settings workaround for this here on XDA!
In case you did not see last week Motorola not only updated their Moto Connect app (which I had uninstalled) they also added a Moto Body app.
First Moto Body - When I first got the watch and had Moto Connect installed I thought the weekly activity emails were actually good, but it sucked that you really could not view these during the week. I found the UP! work around to be OK, but would not always work and Google Fit, well is Google Fit. However now having an app for this makes it much better. This is not the best fitness app out there, but it is also not the worst, I would say right now it is already better than Google Fit. Also you can have this report to Google Fit for you. I am actually very happy by this.
I also reinstalled the Moto Connect app because of the talk about the new watch faces. I have to say I am actually very impressed with the new watches and the customization you can do to them. The also use the new update to make the faces interactive. I personal really like Dials II, you have 10 watch face color options and three accent color option. I also has three dial options. I had been using a couple other apps for my watch faces, but really like these and the options. My current watch face is doing everything my old ones did and I seem to have picked up some battery life as well (could just be coincidence).
Overall I have to say Motorola has been doing a good job with the Android Wear updates to the app updates recently. Still very happy with my 360 purchase back in February when it got discounted.
Here is a link for the story on the new app / update:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/09/14/moto-body-becomes-its-own-app-moto-connect-gets-a-big-update/
i like Dials II as well. Just wish it would show Google Fit steps on the dial instead of the Moto steps. For some reason it always shows me yesterday's steps, not the current steps today.

Interesting, mine shows the correct steps and dates. I have even been up at 1 AM and it shows 0 when I put it on and then starts counting.
I also like being able to change the color of the watchface while it charging. You can change it in moto connect or when it is sitting on the charger if you swipe up (or down can't remember right this second) it scrolls through the different colors as well.

Unable to use the new interactive watch faces. The watch does vibrate on clicking apply on watch face from connect app does it does not show up.
Any Help.
I'm using the Explorer watchface, and until recently it has displayed the number of steps that I have taken with no problems. During the last few days the number of steps has been set to zero however. The same is true if I switch to the Primero watchface (i.e. steps are not displayed).If I switch to the Google Fit watchface I see the number of steps again.
I'm guessing that the problem watchfaces are getting Steps data from a different source than the Google Fit watchface, but don't know what changed on my watch/phone to suddenly make the data disappear.
Any ideas??
The Zenwatch does have three separate fitness trackers (Google Fit, Asus Wellness, Jawbone Up), and I believe that all three attempt to track your steps if you've ever opened them (I personally disabled Wellness and Up), so you might want to check that on your watch first.
I used the Android Wear app ("Actions" section) to configure steps to be displayed from each of the three apps (Google Fit, Wellness and Up), but none of them worked - i.e. the Google Fit watchface is the only face that will display step data
???

It seems like both of the watch faces you mentioned use Asus Wellness, I'll do a bit of digging and see if I can replicate your problem.
hello
Yesterday i installed google fit on my galaxy s6 and moto 360 gen1
But i have problems with it. i have set activity detection to on and body sensor on.
But what the problem is is that you need your phone in your pocket or it doesnt register steps.
So if i only have my watch on me and not my phone there are not counted any steps.
Then the second problem is that if i want to start an exersice like running it says enable gps on phone. But i dont want to bring my phone with me while running.
The third and final problem is that the heart rate doesnt work automatic it only putts it in the graph when i start the heart rate sensor myself. but it doesnt measure it like every hour
Hope someone can help me with these problems.
someone?
You will need to ensure that MotoBody on the 360 has access to sensors. It does not matter if you intend to use MotoBody or not - I went through the same behavior and in discussion with the Google Fit team, this was their resolution to my issue.

well the moto body app is counting the steps. but it is not getting updated in google fit
No, you do not need to install Moto Body on your phone.
Moto Body is already present on the Moto 360 and you simply need to navigate to the permissions section of the settings app, choose Moto Body and ensure Sensors are enabled.

i have done that now the moto body app on my watch says i have done 101 steps but google fit still shows the same apps as before. i did grant permission so moto body could look into my sensors
It may take a few minutes for Google Fit on the 360 to start registering steps. This is the process I took per guidance from the Google Fit devs. Here is the reply from that email exchange:
"Thanks for the bug report. Could you try enabling moto body permissions, by opening the moto body app on the watch?
Enabling permissions should trigger the moto body app to start recording steps, and these should be reflected in Google Fit."

Once I performed these steps I have not gone back to making use of Moto Body. Are you using one of the Google Fit watch faces to track steps or just launching the Google Fit app on your 360?

EDIT: The watch it counting steps now when i leave my phone on my desk. but when i get back and the watch reconnects to the phone the steps wont update on the phone. so the phone says 8500 steps while the moto 360 says 8600 steps for example. and after 5 minutes or so my watch also says 8500 steps again. so the phone overrides the watch
Glad to hear it's finally counting steps on your 360.
As for step sync between the 360 and your Galaxy S6, I don't have any insight there other than I've noticed that step count syncing is never instantaneous (and even slower to the Fit website).

Thanks but it is not synching at all.
When the moto 360 has an higher value then my phone the watch sets the stepcounter back to the count that is on the phone.
I've not encountered the issue you've described so I'm not certain what steps you could take to correct the issue.
You could try submitting an issue in the Google Fit community on Google+.
