GARMIN. Garmin Connect has a website. Not perfect, not great, not really good, but at least it has potential. STRAVA is great, but doesn't work with the Gear S2. Samsung stopped supporting the Gear S2 apps as soon as Gear S3 & Frontier came out.

I found the best solution to this problem! It's called Google Pixel 3 XL It will be my next phone.
Less bloatware. I bought an unlocked version to avoid AT&T Bloatware, and Samsung has loaded my phone with intrusive apps I can't disable (Game Tools and Bixby)
I don't like the "Infinity Screen" anyway, because my fingers wrap around when I hold my phone and keep touching the edge of the screen.

I can't believe that there is no version of the Strava app in the Samsung Galaxy Store which is compatible with the Gear S2. That is insane. It was not a cheap watch, and has all of the sensors and features which are required for Strava to work (My much lesser Garmin VivoSport works with Strava) . I will probably buy a Garmin smartwatch/fitness tracker next time I spend a bunch of money on such an extravagance. The lack of apps in the Galaxy Store makes me wish I'd bought a WearOS watch instead. I'll have a good look at what apps are available for the Garmin Fenix series. At least the Garmins work with Jiff & with Strava (And Google Fit too!)

I went to great lengths to be able to afford to buy the Note 8. I wanted to go back to Samsung because I liked my S5.
NEVER AGAIN! I can't get rid of Game Tools, can't remap the Bixby button (and now I can't even disable the button). There is so much Samsung bloatware that I now hate Samsung. All of the bloatware cannot be uninstalled, some of it enables other features when I try it out, AND MANY FEATURES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DISABLE ONCE THEY ARE SWITCHED ON.
It's my phone, not Samsung's! And if they can't understand that, I'll switch to a different brand. It's frustrating, because Samsung makes great hardware, but ruins it with their heavy handedness.
