Google Fit trackers on the Galaxy Watch4 series
Your new Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic are the perfect additions to your health and wellness routine. They are compatible with Google Fit trackers, which allow you to track important physical information like heart rate while you are working out. There are dozens of workout options to choose from, like biking, yoga, hiking, and even additional workouts like swimming and ice skating. You will also be able to monitor your breathing with guided exercises in the Breathe tracker, and check up on your personal goals with the Activity tracker, and of course every step is counted. The Google Fit app can be accessed from your connected phone as well.
Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for Galaxy Watch4 sold in other countries. Google Fit trackers must be downloaded from the Play Store.
Note: Sometimes, working out is more enjoyable when you are rewarded for your effort. With Google Fit, you can earn Heart Points every time you finish an exercise routine that raises your heart rate. This includes workouts like walking, running, and biking. You can find your Heart Points in the Activity tracker.
Note: With the Google Fit Activity tracker, you can choose from a variety of workouts, such as cycling and strength training. The tracker will monitor your workout and provide you with a summary of your progress.
Note: Some workouts will require GPS to be turned on.
Note: If you are feeling a little stressed out during the day, you can use a guided breathing exercise with the Google Fit Breathe tracker. This will help you control your breathing so you can relax for a few minutes.
Note: Your resting heart rate, also known as beats per minute (bpm) can be measured with the Google Fit Heart rate tracker. For the best results, make sure you are in a comfortable position before starting this tracker.
Note: While measuring your heart rate, you may see a notification asking you to tighten the watch band and then try again. Do so, and then tap Measure to restart the measurement.
Note: If you measure your bpm again, those additional measurements will be displayed with a time stamp under your most recent measurement.
Note: The Google Fit Activity goals tracker allows you to review all of your goals and results in one place, such as Heart Points, step count, calories burned, and miles achieved.
The Google Fit trackers have their own settings that can be adjusted according to your preferences. For instance, you can customize your personal goals, enable automatic tracking, and search for Bluetooth sensors.
From the Home screen, swipe up to access the Apps screen, and then navigate to and tap the tracker of your choice. Swipe to and tap Settings.

Note: When you use a Google Fit tracker on your watch, the data will transfer to the Google Fit app on the connected phone as well. First, you will need to download the app on your phone and then sign in with your Google account.
