Looking for Samsung Health + sport watch alternative for running
At the moment I'm using samsung health to log runs with a galaxy watch and so far the experience is great. However I want to start using a heart rate monitor chest strap which samsung health and the galaxy watch do not support (as far as i know). So I'm looking for alternative brands sport watches and apps which do support using a heart strap. My most important metrics are location, heart rate, cadence.
During runs i can see my heart rate, the zone I'm in, control music (spotify) and more. In the health app i have a neat and clean(!) overview of my activity. I also like how easy it is to see my activity history in a calendar which i can also filter per activity type. So the data the samsung health app provides is great.
I'm also using the advanced running metrics to help me understand what to focus on during runs, these metrics are from the galaxy watch. I hope the alternative app could also include these metrics:
- Asymmetry
- Foot contact time
- Flight time
- Regularity
- Vertical oscillation
- Stiffness (force per step)
- VO2 max (i know it's estimated)
I'd be happy to receive recommendations about other sport watches and app combo which would support this. Garmin is one of the brands I'm considering for the accurate gps on their forerunners and the chest strap, but I'm curious for your recommendations.
Plus I'd like to know how to migrate the health data to the other app if needed/possible.
