I just bought an Active 2 for Christmas and I love it - however, while it does a great job in tracking my health status, it doesn't connect to the Weight Watcher App which is frustrating because Weight Watchers connects to Fitbit, Garmin and Apple devices seamlessly.

Same problem here. Very irritating. I can't even figure out a backdoor where a compatible app can upload from my Samsung app.

Myfitnesspal syncs to both and you can use it as a middle man. Samsung however has the ability to sync to WW, I did it today, but WW is the non working end of the deal. Check Samsung Health Settings > Data Permissions and you can give permissions to WW for steps and activity which obviously comes from the Active2. We should all probably head over to WW and add to the 2 year old thread asking when they were going to support Samsung and please stop saying soon at this point.

Malheureusement,  j'ai essayé de toutes les façons possibles et rien à faire, elle n'est tout simplement pas compatible avec la Samsung Active 2....

When I do as you suggest, the WW app is not available in Samsung Health data permissions area. I'd love to find a viable workaround. Samsung does not like to play ball with others... WHY?

Ok I have a mint fix/work around.

1. Download Fitbit app and register your name and such, if you already have an account just log in.

2. Download the program Health Sync on the Play Store. I believe it's a paid app for a few dollars (worth it)

3. Start up Health Sync pay for the full version, sync Samsung Health with Fitbit, it will ask for permissions, click through them.

4. Go into WW app and connect your Fitbit account. Bingo Bango, all your steps and activity shall sync with the WW app.

Thank you SOOOOO much for this. I was struggling with WW after I bought a Samsung Watch. I was syncing watch through myfitnesspal, but it would only do exercise. The healthsync worked with my old fitbit account and my new samsung watch!
