I have a Samsung S22 phone and now I bought a Galaxy Watch 6. I was using a Garmin watch to synch my running to Strava and no issues. So I followed the steps to connect Samsung Health to Strava: logged in Samsung Health and went to settings and added Strava as a service to connect to. Then the Strava log in popped and I logged in and authorized the connection within Strava.
The problem is Samsung Health does not show on the Services list, so it seems Strava does not recognize Health as being connected, whereas Health “sees” Strava.
Meanwhile, I tried going for a quick walk with the Samsung watch and it synched to Strava, though the map information is not available. Still, Samsung Health does not show up on Strava’s Services. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello @Neuza
Thanks for posting about this. Android users can upload activities recorded with the Samsung Health app to Strava and automatically sync activities from Strava to Samsung Health. If I'm understanding correctly, you're able to sync activities from Samsung Health to Strava, but not the other way around?

Hello everyone. I have had the same issue, when using the Strava app on my Samsung Galaxy Watch, completing the activity and waiting for it to be synced to Samsung Heath. But I have found a solution, which works for me.
By downloading the Health Sync app, I am able to do an automatic data transfer between two (or more) apps, which normally doesn't support each other or if the integration is broken. This has helped me transfer my Strava activities to the Samsung Health app. See screenshots below:
I know it is not the perfect way, and the orginial integration between the two apps should work. But this is a great work around. 🙂

Hello Kotallo! It sounds weird, but the map is being sync from my Strava to Samsung Health, when I have been using the integration. I am not sure how to solve it, but I guess it can relate to some privacy issues. Although it worked for me, when I have started the activity through the Galaxy Watch and waited for an active GPS signal. Maybe that can be the case as well?

We now think it is because of the GPS on the watch is not working. Because of that there is no route known to Samsung health. And that's why SH does not sync with strava. Bought a garmin now.
The Samsung watch is going for repair to see what's wrong with it.

I have the same problem. Strava activities don't show in S Health, I recorded through the strava app on my Samsung watch.

Same problem for me, and it's both ways.

I'm also having the same issue.
The informative on how to connect your Samsung Galaxy watch with Strava does not work for me. Samsung Health Data does not sync to Strava, making staving useless to me.
I am yet to find a resolving as to how to sync it. It's driving me nuts! I've followed the instructions over and over again and I'm just going on circles.
Any advice?
