Your Samsung Watch can be selected as your Android step device in Vantage Fit. Connect it from Device Management and make sure your watch is syncing to Samsung Health.
How the Connection Works
This means you need your Samsung Watch paired with your Android phone and syncing to Samsung Health.
How to Connect
Make sure your Samsung Watch is paired with your Android phone and syncing to Samsung Health (this should already be the case if you're using your watch normally)
Make sure Samsung Health is showing your watch data:
- Open Samsung Health on your phone
- Confirm your recent steps and workouts appear there
Open Vantage Fit and go to Settings → Device Management
Tap "Samsung Watch" → "Connect"
- Grant the requested Android health permissions
- Connection complete — your Samsung Watch is now your selected Android step device
What Data Syncs
| Data Type | Syncs? |
|---|---|
| Steps | Yes — daily total and hourly breakdown |
| Workouts | Yes — type, duration, distance, calories |
| Heart rate | Yes (if recorded by your watch) |
| Sleep | Yes (if tracked on your Samsung Watch) |
| Calories burned | Yes |
When Data Syncs
Your Samsung Watch data follows the Android sync schedule:
| When | What Happens |
|---|---|
| When you open Vantage Fit | Immediate sync from your selected Android step source |
| Automatic update | Android can update in the background when battery settings allow it |
| Manual sync | Tap Sync from the Plus (+) menu |
Note: For the most up-to-date step count, open the Vantage Fit app. If updates seem delayed, check your Android battery settings.
Troubleshooting
Steps from your Samsung Watch not appearing?
- Open Samsung Health and check that your watch data is there first
- Open Vantage Fit and confirm Samsung Watch is selected in Device Management
- Try a manual sync: Plus (+) menu → Sync
Data chain check: Samsung Watch → Samsung Health → Vantage Fit. If data is missing at any step, fix that connection first.
