We are happy to let you know that you can connect your Polar device to WalkFit by syncing your activity data through the Polar Flow app and Health Connect.
To ensure your steps and other activity metrics are tracked correctly, you first need to pair your Polar device with the Polar Flow app and then allow it to share data with Health Connect. We recommend granting all available permissions to ensure the most accurate and seamless data synchronization.
To set up this integration, please follow these steps:
- Connect your Polar device to your Android phone:
- Download the Polar Flow app from the Google Play Store.
- Make sure the Health Connect app is installed on your device. (On Android 14 and later, Health Connect is built directly into your system settings.)
- Open the app and sign in to your Polar account, or create one if needed.
- Pair your Polar watch or fitness tracker with the Polar Flow app via Bluetooth.
- Allow Polar Flow to sync with Health Connect:
- Open the Polar Flow app.
- Go to General settings.
- Enable Health Connect.
- Select the data categories you want to share. We recommend turning on all available permissions, including steps, heart rate, sleep, training data, and other supported activity metrics, then tap Allow.
- Verify your Health Connect permissions:
- Open the Health Connect app.
- On newer Android devices, you can also access it via Settings → Apps → Health Connect.
- Tap App permissions.
- Select Polar Flow.
- Make sure all relevant data categories are enabled.
