Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch - Galaxy Gear & Fitness Apps?

[jwlehman1]

Posting here to seek input from those of you who have tried fitness apps with the GG. I haven't received the latest gear update that was supposedly supposed to be released this week, but I'm curious if any of you have good results with the watch and any of the fitness apps out there? I haven't tried S-Health yet...been using Map my Walk, but open to any suggestions.

I use my fittiness pal and run keeper. They both work great.

I tried using it with RunKeeper. It works fairly well, giving you simple status readout (time, distance, pace, etc) and letting you pause your run. Be aware you have to run the "special" Galaxy Gear version from the Samsung App store, and that the one in Google Play isn't compatible. Unfortunately, the one in the Samsung store is also older and conflicts with the version from Google Play. Chances are it isn't going to be updated nearly as quickly or as often as the normal version (if they do at all).

Yea I figured that out early. I had both versions in my phone. I realized I should delete the google play version as soon as I downloaded the Samsung version.. I have ran 4 5k's so far with it and it was perfect. Being able to track my pace every step of the way really helped me run my best time.

Yes I found the two versions fighting on my device as well. Deleted the play version and so far so good...
