Hi.
Is L9 II compatible with heart rate sensors like Polar H7?
I tried to install the Polar app from Play Store but failed and it's not under officcial compatible phones on their website. May it still be usable with our phone, It does have Bluetooth 4.0 etc.

I received a message from my favorite workout app (Sportypal) that you can turn your phone into a cycle computer that will track speed, cadence and heart rate. This sounds great to me but for the android device (Rezound for me) to get info from the speed and cadence sensors it needs to support ANT+. Does anyone know if the Rezound can connect to an ANT+ sensor?
Hi,
Does anyone have problems with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices on Honor 7? Like watches, heart rate monitors, headphones?
On my phone accessories got disconnected and "error connecting" condition just after few seconds. I could query devices using any available BLE tool, read data from them but the connection will be eventually dropped after a while. This makes heart rate monitors useless on that phone. I've cross checked with Samsung Galaxy S4 and here it works like a charm.
Normal bluetooth devices (3.0) like speaker are working fine, there is a problem with Bluetooth 4.0 only.
Greets,
Tomek
Just picked up a cheap bluetooth HRM. Wondering if anyone has experience with them and the G Watch? Any apps that will allow you to pair directly with the watch for phone free heart rate tracking? I play racquetball in the mornings too. Can any one comment on how well the HRM might work with my phone being right outside the glass?
Only solutions I have seen looks like requires all 3. The watch, the HRM, and the phone. The phone runs the app and then sends the info to the watch it seems.

Yes. I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnn.android.sport_gear_tracker together with a Polar H7. It has a phone and watch app.
- Install app
- On phone: Search and link to bluetooth HRM (do not pair).
-> if you start "workout" on phone, phone communicates with HRM
-> if you start the "workout" through the app on the watch, the watch communicates with HRM and shares info to phone (but continues to work when phone is out of range). When phone is in range, it will upload the results to the phone.
Is it possible to connect an external HR sensor like the Wahoo Tickr to the Gear fit 2 using either Bluetooth or ANT+?
Unfortunately I'm 99% sure that no as I saw it in a review video. I don't remember who exactly, I think the TechyAgent or RizKnows.
That would be unfortunate. The optical heart-rate sensors are known to be inaccurate and the Fit 2 sensor in particular has not impressed some of the reviewers so far. As a fitness focused wearable, it really should have the capability to at least connect to a bluetooth HR sensor for improved HR accuracy during exercises. This is something that the direct competition does support (Garmin Vivoactive HR - via ANT+).
In my case, I have a Wahoo Tickr X which can connect with Bluetooth LE (or ANT+) so it would be really great if Samsung enables that capability.
As for the HR feed into S-Health with an HR sensor connected to phone, does that merge with exercise sessions that are captured by the Fit 2 at the same time?
Hi!
Are there any Stratos 3 owners that have a heart rate monitor strap which works together with the watch?
I have a Polar H7 which I read it works with the Stratos 2. But I have not managed to connect it to the watch
Today I got the H7 working. Didn't do anything different from when I tried yesterday. It just connected and tested it for a little walk and it was fine.
Not sure what to blame here if the strap or the watch. Let's see how reliable it is over time
Hi. I have Suunto smart sensor. And it works just fine with stratos 3.
