I recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S23Ultra to a Samsung Galaxy S26Ultra and used the โTransfer to another deviceโ feature to reconnect my watches:
Galaxy Watch 6 Classic
Galaxy Watch Ultra
Galaxy Watch 8 Classic
Everything paired successfully, but Samsung Health data is no longer syncing properly. For example: The phone shows different steps, exercise time, calories, and sleep data, but the watches donโt update. Activities recorded on the watch donโt appear on the phone. It seems like each device is tracking data independently instead of syncing together. Iโm logged into the same Samsung account,but the Bluetooth connection from the watch to phone isn't working properly.If I open the Samsung Health on the watch and select the edit on phone option, it won't connect with the phone even though they're connected. It's a bit weird. Any fix without resetting everything? Thanks!
This is an issue going on with Bluetooth on a grand scale. It's not been addressed yet. I own ALOT of smart watches. On 2 different smart watch apps it's no longer allowing the app your using (Hband, DeeFit pro) and Bluetooth to simultaneously connect to the watch. In my opinion it's a Samsung issue that needs an update but their looking over it during the s26 release. I actually came on here looking for a solution to this problem myself.
That will not solve the issue permanently. In my case the sync issue reappeared after a day and also the "Remote Connection" feature based on Google cloud sync not working after the reset.
