How to Sync Steps with a Huawei Watch?

Unfortunately, Huawei is not a friendly company when it comes to allowing us to synchronize data from Huawei Health. Therefore, if you want to synchronize steps from your Huawei watch to DistantRace, you'll need to use an additional intermediary service - the Health Sync app.

  1. DistantRace will sync steps from Health Connect. Set Health Connect as the step data source in the DistantRace app. More here: How to submit daily steps with an Android phone?
  2. Download the Health Sync app.
  3. Follow the instructions in the Health Sync app. You need to give permission for Huawei Health to send steps to Health Connect.

Once all apps are connected, your steps will flow from the Huawei watch to DistantRace as follows:

Huawei Watch -> Huawei Health App -> Health Sync App -> Health Connect App -> DistantRace App

Yes, this may seem complicated, but unfortunately, this is currently the only way to sync steps from a Huawei watch to the DistantRace app. Hopefully, Huawei will make improvements soon to allow for an easier step submission process in the app.
