Unfortunately, you cannot directly connect a Huawei watch to the Samsung Health app. Huawei uses its own ecosystem for health tracking, primarily through the Huawei Health app, while Samsung Health is designed to work with Samsung devices and some other third-party fitness trackers.
However, there are a few workarounds to sync data from your Huawei watch with Samsung Health:
1. Use Google Fit as a Bridge
You can sync both Huawei Health and Samsung Health with Google Fit, and from there, you can view data in both apps. Here’s how you can do it:
Steps:
- Install Google Fit:
- Download and install Google Fit on your phone from the Google Play Store.
- Sync Huawei Watch with Huawei Health:
- Make sure your Huawei watch is paired with the Huawei Health app and that all your data is syncing there.
- Sync Huawei Health with Google Fit:
- Use third-party apps like Health Sync (available on the Google Play Store) to sync data between Huawei Health and Google Fit.
- Sync Samsung Health with Google Fit:
- Samsung Health can sync with Google Fit, so make sure this connection is set up in the Samsung Health app settings.
- Once the sync is complete, your fitness data should show up in both Samsung Health and Huawei Health.
Note: Health Sync is a paid app, but it is an easy way to bridge the two ecosystems.
2. Manual Data Export
If you don’t want to use Google Fit, you can manually export data from Huawei Health and import it into Samsung Health (though this method can be tedious and may not provide a seamless experience).
Steps:
- Export data from Huawei Health (usually in the form of CSV or another file format).
- Use a third-party app or service to convert the data into a format compatible with Samsung Health, if possible. You may need to do this manually.
3. Use Third-Party Fitness Apps
Some third-party apps, like Strava or MapMyRun, can sync with both Huawei Health and Samsung Health. You can sync your Huawei watch data to a third-party app and then sync it with Samsung Health.
Steps:
- Install a compatible third-party app like Strava on both your Huawei phone and Samsung device.
- Sync your Huawei watch with Strava via the Huawei Health app.
- Sync Strava with Samsung Health.
Conclusion
While you cannot directly connect a Huawei watch to Samsung Health, using Google Fit as a bridge or third-party apps like Health Sync and Strava can help you sync your fitness data between Huawei Health and Samsung Health. However, these workarounds might not provide the same seamless integration as you would get with a Samsung Galaxy watch.
