The original
Samsung Health
Samsung's health app for tracking activity, sleep, nutrition and vitals with Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Samsung Health.
Google Fit
An activity tracking app from Google that sets daily goals using Heart Points and step counts.
Google Fit sets daily goals with Heart Points and step counts and works with many third-party apps, but it is tied to Google's services and has not been updated in a long time.
Apple Health
Apple's built-in health app on iPhone that collects activity, heart, sleep and other data from Apple Watch.
Apple Health is built into iPhone and adds ECG and AFib History with an Apple Watch, but it runs only on Apple devices, not on Galaxy phones.
HUAWEI Health
Huawei's health and fitness app for recording workouts and managing Huawei watches and bands.
HUAWEI Health records more than 100 sport types and manages Huawei watches and bands, so moving to it means replacing Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring hardware.
Withings App
A free health and fitness app for Withings scales, watches and monitors that also works without them.
The Withings App works as a standalone tracker on Android, iOS and the web and adds a web version, but weight and blood pressure need Withings devices or manual entry.
Garmin Connect
Garmin's companion app for syncing and sharing activities from Garmin watches and bike computers.
Garmin Connect adds a web version and live activity sharing, but it is mainly useful with Garmin watches and bike computers rather than Samsung wearables.
Oura
Companion app for the Oura Ring that reports sleep, activity, stress and heart health insights.
Oura covers sleep, activity, stress and heart health from a ring, but the Oura Ring is bought separately and some features need a paid membership.
Gadgetbridge
Open-source Android app that pairs and manages smartwatches, bands and other Bluetooth gadgets without vendor apps.
Gadgetbridge is an open-source Android app that manages many wearables without vendor apps or cloud, though feature support varies by device and it lacks iOS support.
