Dear All,

I've signed up for a vertical marathon and I am looking for alternatives to track my elevation gains. 

I am currently using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. Is it possible to track my elevation gains via my mobile phone without a smartwatch? I've already got my smartwatch (Garmin Swim 2) and it doesn't make sense for me to buy another smartwatch just to track my elevation gains.

Greatly appreciate your help in advance.

Thank you.

Regards,

Lee

I don't think the phone will track your elevation gains nearly as accurately as a smart watch. I would imagine a Garmin watch would have an app thats compatible with your phone.
To keep syncing simplicity with Samsung products, i would trade the Garmin in for a Samsung Active.
Silly to trade in, but might make for an easier user exp

Hi, Welcome to the Samsung Members Community Canada. It will not show accurate data. The Smartwatch has internal sensors that measure your altitude and can tell how far you are above sea level and the current atmospheric pressure.

Why there is no elevation gain in the Samsung Health App? There is only lowest and highest elevation as well as total ascent and total descent. Elevation gain is a very important feature in all activity tracking app.
