Samsung health summary alternative advice

[sihollies]

I am new to the forum so would like to say a quick hello before I start to contribute, so, Hello.
I have recently bought a Galaxy Watch 46mm and would like to know if anyone could offer any recommendations for an alternative to the default daily summary widget.
I would like a widget that I can glance at that shows steps, stairs climbed and calories, but dont want the heart rate tracker icon showing.
I have disabled the heart rate monitor on the watch, but it seems to automatically turn on during a nights sleep or during a workout/swim, and subsequently displays the reading in the default summary widget.
I would expect that there would be a way to cusomise what is displayed, but cannot figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Congrats on your Galaxy Watch purchase and welcome

I can't think of one to be honest but there are loads of watchfaces which have all the stats you have mentioned. They will be on the watchface, though, rather than a widget, so might not be what you are after.

Here's an example (it does have HR but if you've got HR turned off, it will just show a static number)

http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=com.watchface.MD171

If that link doesn't work, go to Galaxy Store and search in 'Watch' for MD171
Someone else on here will probably be able to help you further if a widget is what you really need.

Enjoy the watch

Many thanks sonnnet.

I'm impressed by the watch at the moment, but am still customising it for my needs. I had the Garmin Vivoactive 3 before this Galaxy watch, which was good, but doesnt compare to the Samsung.
I suppose a watch face could be an option, but my eyesight isnt the best and I find the widgets easier to read at a glance and without my glasses.

Thanks again

@sihollies Is this the widget you are currently using? It's called Health Summary (built in). Just ignore heart rate?

Thanks,
Yes that is the App I am using, but I don't want the heart rate icon there.
I know its not overly important, but it just bugs me in it being there.

There must be a similar gadget out there available??

Thanks in advance
