To recap
There’s a lot of interesting elements playing into S Health 5.4 and the addition of the new wearables, heart rate functions and third party app extension means that it offers more than ever before. We’ve found it good for pedometer and heart rate functions, and with those third party tie ins, it can provide a lot of detail when it comes to fitness tracking stats, as long as it syncs reliably.
