Feature Request: Enable HR collection for all exercises on the Galaxy Ring

SmushiRot — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 13:36:03 GMT

Only a few exercise types on the Samsung Health app allow the ring to be used for continuous heart rate collection.

I'd like to be able to use it to monitor HR during activities other than walking or running such as weight machines, dancing, etc.

The only work-around is to pick a compatible exercise and then rename it after finishing. However, calorie expenditure estimations will be off as they don't match the actual exercise being performed.

It would be nice for users to be able to select the devices they want to use for HR collection at the start of the exercise whether it's the ring, watch, or some other 3rd party HR monitor. Pressing the HRM button at the top left of the exercise could trigger a list of connected accessories for the users to choose from.
