Making the Jump Fitbit to sHealth

[BlackSheriff84]

Making the Jump from Fitbit to shealth is a pretty big one, especially as the wife still rocks her Fitbit and we also have the Fitbit Scales in prime location in the bathroom.

I recently brought myself the Gear S3 to complement my Galaxy S8 and just because of how aesthetically pleasing it is to the eye.

However I'm still can't just dump my Fitbit Charge 2, I don't want to hurt her feelings... lol jokes aside she still very useful!

For starters the sleep tracking on the the Fitbit is superior in comparison to what the Gear S3 spits out and I currently track my weight and body fat on the Fitbit Scales...

Yes I know, your probably saying to yourself that neither of these features actually require me to wear my fitbit all day. However I do still love challenging certain friends and family through fitbit but I reckon I could get over that if that was my only reason.

Let's get back on track... Sleep tracking, weight and body fat tracking is my main concerns. I am currently using a service called fitnesssyncer to sync my sleep & weight data to sHealth which works great and would be happy to keep using for my weight and body fat tracking. As for my sleep tracking it works but I still have to keep wearing my fitbit. I would much prefer for Samsung to up there game in the bed department as it's nothing to boast about. See attached comparison.

So I suppose my question is.
What's the likelihood of the Gear S3 getting an update for it's sleep tracking?

this is exactly what I was getting at with my post!

FWIW I think the representation on the Gear itself is a little more user friendly than what S Health throws out still no REM though

for the last two night I have not been able to sync my fitbit sleep data to shealth...
I have tried my usual way where I sleep wearing both devices, sync my gear with shealth and sync my fitbit with fitbit then use fitnesssyncer to sync my fitbit sleep data to shealth. I have also tried just just wearing my fitbit to bed and skipping out the Gear sync but still no joy.
shealth may have had a recent up date which now block this.... I just don't know

anyone else experiencing this issue?

if not what route do you use to specific fitbit data to shealth?

I just realised that the shealth graphs don't technically even show you if you woke up to go to the bathroom. I know I did last night and never does it show a break in my sleep... restless perhaps, but never awake And I know for a fact I was!
