Workout in Samsung Health on phone, but can't find on Galaxy Watch?

[formergr]

Hi all-

When I open the Samsung Health app on my phone, I can select rowing (outdoors) as a workout. If I go into that exercise (still on phone app), it even shows my Galaxy Watch (42mm) as an accessory that is connected.

But when I try to select that activity as a workout directly on my watch (so that I don't need to have my phone with me on the water), it doesn't show up. Just about every other exercise that appears in the phone Samsung Health app can be accessed on my watch, but not that one. (I do have Rowing Machine, but that has no GPS functions for obvious reasons, so isn't useful to me). 

Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, or if just that activity is not a feature on the watch for whatever reason?

Just bought my Active and yeah  still in 2021 you do not have basketball and many more on the watch. Annoying Samsung!!!

Hey again.

Apologies for the delayed response but thank you for your suggestion. I've passed this on to our Research and Development Team and I'll let you know as soon as I get a response.

Hey all,

I've got a little update on this. The Developers say that they plan to provide an 'Other workout' option which will allow you to record data using the GPS, HRM, etc. This will be available at some point in the year, but I'm unable to provide an exact date or time frame.

Samsung please fix this! This is so annoying!

How is it possible that the most practiced (team) sport in the world soccer is still not selectable through the watch?

This may keep me from purchasing the GW4

It will never happen now. Next version will be Android and support wear. Any new watch by Samsung will not be upgraded to new OS. If you just bought return it.

Id like dancing workout added to the watch please. Can add it only on phone.

Any update on this?

Can we add the activity Aerobics to the watch? How?

[NanaD]

Silly that something as generic as aerobics and dancing aren't available on the watch. Fit bit was better

Available on the watch4 but not the watch3, typical Samsung disregard as in phone updates.
