Samsung has decided to eliminate 3rd support except strava. This is not good. A closed ecosystem is like that of apples.
I was hoping that Samsung health would allow sync with Google health in future, but you need to download another app to sync data between two! Now Samsung making it even more difficult.
And Samsung doesn't allow addition of non Samsung hardware. If you buy any watch not listed in Samsung health, can't record sleep or heart rate.
This will lead me to disable Samsung health and use Google health or something else instead.

Just read about this. Interesting move. I guess it won't be critical for me as I use a Gear S3 to do my tracking but it looks like it may hinder my ability to use other systems that are better for tracking nutrition for example and drawing them in. If they are serious about this move they better beef up the app so we are content to stay in this ecosystem if we happen to have the hardware.
