First. I was ask You about s health sleep monitoring in another thread, unanswered.
Second. This does not work. I tried it earlier, have watch reset in meantime. In the morning i can only put sleep data manually. 


 ultrasonic  Mate - watch your courtesy - if I catch you talking like this to a moderator (or anyone for that matter) with such disrespect - you are GONE !!

We don’t get paid to help you - we do our best and Sonia says it works then it works !

If you can’t get it working and want some help - don’t treat people like this - Do you understand ? 

Heads up everyone Nike Run Club now WORKS on my KW88!!! Looks like they redesigned the buttons so you can now end activities. NOTE: I also recently installed Big Font play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.bfont (does not require root) and made my fonts very small to cram more stuff on the screen… and this seems to have made a BIG difference LOL!!

I like this app because it can record both outdoor and indoor treadmill runs together with BLE heart rate data (and integrated music). Getting TCX data out of NRC can be a bit challenging… looks like Google Fit integration ‘may’ still work, but I haven’t yet tested what data gets passed to Google Fit. A Nike specific data downloader can be found here nike.vinz.xyz/#/nike-login

EDIT: I’m adding a picture of the version and build number of the NRC app.  I side loaded this and it works (I took auto update out of the Playstore option).  The play store says i have the current version… but UNBELIEVABLY (to me at least  ) the next time I went to use the app after this post… it would not record steps/miles!!!  I’m starting to think my watch is faulty.  I had to do a complete reset of the watch… so I’ll monitor things as I add apps to see if somehow theres some conflict.

Last time about S health sleep monitoring - let’s finish this case because others also wanted to know. Sleep monitoring in most apps works automatically. They detects when we start sleep, what is the quality of sleep, and when we wake up. In S health and our chinese watches nothing happens automatically. From my observation every morning we have to run S Health and commit/save “semi automatically detected sleep start and wake up time”. Nothing about sleep quality. Wake up time is allways time when we decide to commit “detected” sleep time. That’s how it works.

For Lemfo Les1 android watch (probably the same with other watch phone), the RunKeeper so far is the best running app I tried. It was perfectly designed for the Android round watch.

I use my Lemfo Lem5 with S Health and everyday asks me if I was sleeping from “x” time to “y” time so I can say the sleeping tracker works properly. The only thing that I can’t seem to make it work is to tack my cycling rout. When I use my bike it doesn’t detect anything, not the route, the speed, etc. I don’t know if there is something wrong with the gps sensor on my watch or the app.

i will check with my x3+ and D5+ and write here if it works for me.

I tested several running apps already and there’s nothing beats RunKeeper in round android watch. It is the most compatible running up for this kind of watch. Here are some of its images:

Thanks for your tip. I wish to find great looking watch (of course, China brand) with good battery life. I'm looking those watch for GPS tracking for my nordic walking trips. And I don't want to taking my phone with me, I want watch with GSM SIM card inside, GPS tracking enabled (as you wrote - with Runkeeper for example) and Bluetooth headphones connected with music comers from this watch. Question for you: can you walk/run/ride with your watch with Runkeeper running (GPS enabled as I assume), without your phone, and bluetooth headphones connected with music (of course, if you don't have those phones, walk without it). And main question: how long you run/walk/ride and how many percent battery it use? Can you do it?

Based on my limited experience so far (using the watch with GPS and BT turned on whilst tracking a round of golf) you’ll likely get 3-4 hours out of is max I’m afraid.  The more radio sensors that are turned on the quicker the battery will deplete.
