Hi,
I´m thinking to buy a Watch GT2e because it has a lot of sport modes, but I would like to know what parameters it measure on surf and climbing mode
Does it show specific parameters for each sport or it just show the same parameters for all sport?
Has anybody tested that modes?
Thanks
Floors / meters climbed
Hello, I recently purchased a Huawei Watch GT2. I am more than happy with it, but there is something that annoys me.
The watch counts the elevation "climbed" in meters. It registers it in the Huawei Health App in "My Data".
But why doesn't it show it in the health front page?
Why doesn't it show in the watch menus?
There even could be some watch faces that would use it as a goal to accomplish.
This is sad because even the GT2 is better in everything else, lets Fitbit and Garmin take advantage of this feature.
Anybody has found a workaround? I hope Huawei, you are reading this post.... and think about adding this feature
Thank you,
Francisco

It shows same parameters for almost all sports, unfortunately.

I have noticed many softwares are being released for just the PR point of view, with no actual practical use out from those applications.
Two of them which I found are:
1. Netflix: image quality, impracticality of paying to watch 2 hr long movie on cellphone.
2. Last.fm: You can't scrobble any music played on your cell, be it from zune phone memory or from streaming music from zune ... the only thing that scrobbles is when you use last.fm's own radio stations, which are nothing but a tool to promote artists who pay to get listed on their radio 'suggested tracks'.
3. ... list yours.
netflix is great. Mine looks clear as can be. Great for work breaks or keeping a kid entertained while you are trying to get something done.
Netflix is a bonus. I am sure people had their subscription long before the WP7 phone and they were streaming to their TV. So streaming to the phone is a bonus.
There are a lot of other music apps that are great to use that do not 'promote'. I am sure if Last.fm isn't your thing, you can find a susbstitute.

Hey Everyone!
I just bought a Moto 360 even though I have an iPhone. Through the use of a trusty old Xperia U I managed to do the first configuration and update to the latest O.S. on the watch, adding the Wi-Fi standalone connectivity.
The use I want to do of the device is the following:
Occasionaly, through the Android phone, add watch faces
Siply use the watch standalone for Steps, Heart Rate, and notifications maybe with Aerlink
At this point I would like to set the watch to connect to my home wifi network, and simply upload the fitness data to Google fit in the cloud, without ever using my old android phone (except for new watch faces or changing configuration or updates). Can anyone help me out in achieving this??
Thanks to all!!
I've had the SSW2 for a while, and it worked with the Samsung Galaxy S4 that I had (I think I used it with one other device, but I can't quite recall). I had some connectivity issues, but none of them stopped the function of the watch. However, when I got the S6 (LL 5.1, then updated to M6.0), it outright stopped working. It's being recognized through Bluetooth, but I'm not receiving any notifications, nor are any of my apps coming through onto the watch (Watchify, Find Me, GPS, etc). I'm getting the standard set of apps (settings, calculator, etc.).
Any ideas on what the issue might be? I've reset the watch a number of times, uninstalled and reinstalled both the Smart Connect and SSW2 apps as well, and as far as I'm aware, I've got the latest firmware on the watch installed too. What am I missing?
I don't know if it is related, but what I'm experiencing is somewhat similar. I use my SW2 for controlling music and a sports app during cycling or running. Endomondo or Runtastic are the sports apps I use, both have SW2 extensions. They appear to work fine when I'm trying it with the phone in front of me, but more often than not when starting my run (with my phone in a small backpack) it seems to have a connection, but neither Endomondo or Runtastic respond to the watch. I feel it might have something to with the power save modes on Android 6, perhaps Doze?
After googling a bit I think I have fixed the issue I had with my sports trackers. In the Battery use settings page you can add apps to the 'not optimized' list. I've added Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 to this list. Now I seem to be able to interact with both trackers even if my phone is in deep sleep... This has to be tested during actual cycling yet, but it appears to be working.
Nevermind, tried it this weekend with a mountainbike ride and when I wanted to start neither Runtastic or Endomondo responded to the smartwatch... The smartwatch indicated an active connection, but that's it.
I just bought this smartwatch but unfortunately my phone died and had to replace with an iphone and discovered that if you sideload apps and faces you can get almost all of the third party faces from the google play store. But read that since many of these faces neet connectivity (weather, news, etc) they may not work since the iphone doesnt work like that
But since this watch has wifi integrated, i was wondering if they could work on this and many other watches that have the same chip.
Any thoughts? I really want to install watch faces with weather and similar
WiFi is used to sync the watch with the cloud, not for receiving data for the weather etc.
The watch still needs to use phone's connectivity to load such data...
But, well, you can still try, there's Android Wear app for iOS, maybe the sideloaded apps will work anyway.

Yeah i can use it with Android Wear and receive notifications but many of the manuals for sideloading watch faces say that if the watch has wifi you may have that functionality
To be honest, that's the first time I hear about that the watch's WiFi itself may be used to update weather data etc without the use of the phone...
It's worth trying but I already did a simple test and it didn't work for me using stock "Weather" app on the watch and the weather service in Minimal & Elegant watchface. They both require the watch to be connected with the phone.
hi all,
a bunch of my friends have Garmin watches and trackers and are able to setup challenges that the all work towards but now that Samsung took it away from the Health app I have no way of partaking in that too. Is there any way to make it so that I can share my data with the Garmin Connect app? The watch isn't appearing on there either and it's a shame not to be able to partake in the challenges

You can use third party apps to sync data from Samsung health to Garmin connect. But it won't sync the steps though. It can sync the activities like running, walking, cycling etc. If I remember it correctly, it is called sync my tracks app.
