How to: avg resting heart rate, enter step length, enter a PRIOR workout, enter weight sans scan

Moved to a Galaxy from Fitbit and would love to hear from Galaxy users how they use the Galaxy to monitor their health and/or work around some of the following. I used the Fitbit in a very concise way to monitor my weight, steps, sleep, and resting heart rate. So I am missing the following features:

1. Average resting heart rate. The daily heart rate range and every 10-minute snapshot is not helping me monitor my health from day to day. Is there a way to make it show me the average each day? How do people use the default data in a snapshot way?

2. Is there a way to enter my actual step length? It seems to assume every 5'4" has the same stride. My step count is drastically different from the Fitbit and I think it is wrong. Do you guys lie about your height to make it adjust the stride? But then all those fancy heart & weight scans would be off. 

3. How to enter a PRIOR workout that I did earlier that day or the day before? I don't want to have to touch my phone to tell it every time I'm working out. What do you guys do if you forgot to touch your watch before a workout?

4. Is there a way to enter my weight without doing a body scan? I used to log my weight and loved seeing trends over a long period of time. I don't have time to do the scan every time so I'm no longer logging my weight.

5. Is there something I can do to improve the watch's ability to automatically recognize different exercises? My Fitbit recognized my elliptical workouts without me touching it. I read while on the elliptical so my arms aren't always going back & forth & that seems to be the only way the Galaxy knows it is elliptical. So I end up with these 10-minute elliptical workouts with gaps in between them. It's pretty useless data.

6. I have a Samsung phone and they are syncing, which I know I can turn off but then I wouldn't get the texts, which is something it does better than the Fitbit. I can't seem to make the watch alarm vibrate and the phone alarm audible. I've tried various combinations. I hope I'm missing something.

I really liked the idea of having 2 Samsung devices but I'm not able to use the data that this watch is collecting. Help me please!

@bongid Here is some info:

2. Currently there is no way to enter your stride length.

3. There is no way to enter a prior workout. 

4. You can enter your weight in Samsung Health on your phone without doing a scan.

1. Don't know if it's what you want but if you go to the Galaxy Wearable ap then go to Watch Sitting and Samsung Health then Heart Rate, there's an option for continuous. That may help you define the average heart rate per day but may drain the battery faster.

Thank you both for your feedback. Here's what I'm realizing. I think my priorities are more fitness related than "smart watch" related. I think the Samsung Galaxy watch is a superior Smart Watch if you want to use it for music, texts, answering phone calls. But I'm very frustrated that it REQUIRES me to interact with it so much. I did a 9-mile hike last week and it auto-recorded it as all these small pieces that I can't stitch together into one hike. For one piece of it, I clicked start a workout I then also had to accept something else before it started recording. It required 2 confirmations to get the information that is recorded without me thinking about it on a Fitbit. I also realized it doesn't record elevation change unless you touch it to tell it to record. I know Apple watches require all the touching too and I find that confounding. I would like to suggest that Samsung mirror Fitbit rather than Apple in this area. My hubby will keep his Galaxy but I think I'm going back to Fitbit. Thanks everyone for the help!
