Samsung health not working
Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy Watch 7 (SM-L300) and I’m having a very strange issue with Samsung Health.
The Exercise/Workout option has disappeared from Samsung Health on the watch, so I can no longer start workouts such as swimming.
What’s even stranger:
If I go into the Samsung Health app settings on the watch and clear the app data, the Exercise option immediately comes back.
But as soon as I try to start an exercise, I get a message about “Back button control” / “dedicated screen”, and the workout doesn’t start normally.
When I go back to Samsung Health, the Exercise section has disappeared again.
I can repeat this: clear Samsung Health data → Exercise comes back → try to use it → Exercise disappears again.
Existing workout history is still visible in Samsung Health on my phone.
I’ve already updated the watch/software through Galaxy Wearable, cleared the cache/data and restarted the watch.
The workout interface also looks different from the one I had before (I used to get the normal 3-2-1 countdown).
Has anyone experienced this on a Galaxy Watch 7 / Wear OS recently? Is this a Samsung Health update bug, and is there a fix that doesn’t require resetting the entire watch?
