Connect Google Health, Samsung, and other watches to FORM
On Android, FORM tracks sleep and recovery through Health Connect. Samsung, Garmin, Oura, Amazfit and Google Health feed last night next to your meals.
FORM tracks sleep and recovery on Android too. Health Connect is the pipe. Samsung, Garmin, Oura, Amazfit and Google Health are the sensors. Last night lands in FORM next to meals and training, not in a second diary.
How Android connection works
Health Connect is the equivalent of Apple Health on Android. You grant FORM sleep and the other types you want. FORM tracks them. It does not replace Samsung Health, Google Health, Garmin, Oura or Amazfit. Those apps remain the sensors. FORM is where sleep, recovery, food and programs share a day.
Samsung and other watches
- Samsung Galaxy Watch typically flows through Samsung Health, then Health Connect, if you allow it.
- Garmin, Oura, Amazfit and similar brands often expose sleep and workouts to Health Connect when you turn that on.
- Google Health is part of that same Android health graph. Grant FORM what you want it to see.
Every brand’s settings screen is slightly different. The rule is the same: the watch writes to its app, Health Connect is the pipe, FORM reads what you grant. If a metric never appears, check the watch app’s Health Connect sharing, then FORM’s permissions.
You still log food and training in FORM
A watch will not scan a plate. It will not photograph a menu. It will not describe a meal. Wearable minutes are not a Food Score. FORM tracks sleep and recovery from that watch, then still needs the meal and the session in FORM.
Privacy on Android
Grant the minimum you actually want on the day. You can withdraw Health Connect access without deleting FORM. FORM does not sell your personal data. It does not diagnose you from watch reads. Health data is processed to run the features you turn on.
FAQ
Does FORM work with Samsung watches?
Yes, when that data is available through Health Connect. Open Samsung Health sharing, then grant FORM the types you want.
Does FORM connect to Google Health?
FORM reads Health Connect on Android, which is how Google Health and many watches feed sleep and recovery into FORM.
Do I need a watch to use FORM on Android?
Scan meals and log training without one. Sleep and recovery need a Health Connect source so last night has data.
Does FORM support Garmin, Oura, or Amazfit?
If those apps share to Health Connect, FORM can read what you grant. FORM does not replace those apps.
