Hi! Since I excercise quite much, but I don't always wish to wear Galaxy Watch to record sessions, because of the watch being a disturbance depending on the activity, I would appreciate more adaptive approach to manually entering sessions to the Samsung Health app solely for the reason of the app knowing better how active I am and creating reports accordingly. I just figured recently that this is possible and find it good if indeed the app takes the manually inserted data into consideration, since in the case you don't do this, the app will tell you to move more even though you already move much but just without the watch.
At this point only two improvements come to mind since I haven't tested in long term how manually adding data affects the reports in actuality:
1. You should be able to add any sort of exercise manually and not just those types which the clock has previously recorded you doing. Even if you might do some gymnastics occasionally wearing the clock, it is not smart enough to automatically detect such and add it into the list of your personal activities - usually you have to move around significantly for this to happen, from place to place.
2. Inserting time and other metrics of your activity manually is too cumbersome. You have the rolling numbers sort of dial you swipe up and down, but the numbers move only by a one digit at a time. They should roll fast and fluently, and generally, you should be able to type the numbers via a keypad almost in any app in my opinion for convenience's sake.
Do other Samsung Health users have anything to say about this topic? Please comment.
Otherwise I find the app pretty great and it's reports interesting, so great job there at Samsung!
My experience is on Galaxy Watch7 44mm, to note.
