Samsung should allow the use of external sensors such as heart rate monitors and power meters to connect to the Samsung health app for fitness activities. Not allowing it limits the usefulness of the watch and seems counter the reason to have a LTE watch. The watch is capable of doing this. For any semi serious athlete this is a set back. While a small percentage of users might use this it seems silly to not allow it, its a software change and would ope the door for individuals to ditch there Garmin.

Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand the importance of being able to use external accessories or monitors when working out and other fitness activities. If you aren't sure which types of accessories can be used with Samsung Health, you can check out the convenient accessories list in the app. It’ll provide you with the name and type of product, like smartwatches, heart rate monitors, and sensors so you can find exactly what you need. Give this link a try for me up-to-date information: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001380/

 

If you don't see your sensor or accessory listed as compatible, I would recommend doing what @Dan2023 said and submitting feedback using this link: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692
