I can't get it on my watch. It is the reason why I brought the Samsung galaxy watch. Anyway can get it on on theirs? When i had a gammin watch i was able to get a parkrun bar code on it..If I can't get it I have to revert back to gammin or another brand of watch and get rid of the present watch.

I am inecperienced about watches. Two questions. If bluetooth are you paired correctly? If wi-fi are you on the same network e.g. 2.4 or 5 Ghz?

I'm not familiar with "parkrun", but if it's kind of membership card, you can install stocard app to your phone and your watch. You can use that to access all your membership/loyalty cards in your watch.

Afaik, both Samsung Wallet and Google Wallet still doesn't support this in their watch apps.

As for the heart rate alert, have you enabled the alert in your Galaxy Wearable app in your phone?

Open Galaxy Wearable app > Watch settings > Samsung Health > Heart rate > check if the Heart rate alerts are enabled.

With heart rate I have enabled heart rate alert but even when I do I never receive an alert when I go past the maximum heart rate I want to achieve.

Repeating I don't know what I am talking about, have you Googled :Parkrun barcode"? There seem to be some useful comments there. If your watch has to be synchronised with another device does your drvice have barcode reader software siutable for Parkrun (my Tab A8 and old J8 phone both had to have barcode software loaded).
