Does Walker Tracker link to Samsung Watches?

At this time, Samsung is not allowing any new integrations with their Samsung Health application. While we'd love to make a direct connection to their system, we will have to wait until Samsung makes their platform available to third parties again.

If you would like to get your steps into Walker Tracker from your Samsung watch. however, there are options.

1) Manually enter your steps in Walker Tracker

If your program allows for manual entry of steps rather than requiring auto-synchronization, you can use the following instructions to make a manual entry in Walker Tracker at the end of each day based on the step counts you see in Samsung Health

2) Pair Samsung Health through Apple Health or Google Fit

We understand that the Samsung Health application is capable of acting as a data source for Apple Health on iPhones or Google Fit on Androids, which can both sync to Walker Tracker.

This requires using a third party app called Health Sync. This app is not free, but can transmit data from Samsung to Google Fit.
