Activity Tracking Wellness vs Google Fit

Hello,

I just received my TH Gen 3 for X-mas... had a question regarding the steps tracking. I noticed that in the face complications, if you select "steps", you will need to have continuous activity tracking enable in the Wellness app to have the steps showing. However, that will keep the heart rate sensor alway on meaning I guess no battery after a few hours... Then if I select google fit in the complication instead (and steps in the sub menu), then steps will show without having to keep continuous activity tracking enable in the Wellness app.

Could someone please advise what are the main difference between the two ? Also if i disable continuous activity tracking enable in the Wellness app, will I still get some heart rate tracking every x min/hours as part of the google fit app tracking ?

Thank you for your help,

Greg

I'm the same not sure which one to use? The wellness app uses the heart rate monitor constantly and I'm guessing this is what's causing the differing battery usage each day? Are you using wellness or just Google fit?
