Sync Wear OS to your dashboard
FitMesh Sync reads any Wear OS smartwatch (Pixel Watch, OnePlus Watch, TicWatch, Mobvoi, Fossil Gen 6) via Health Connect. Data first passes through the manufacturer's companion app (Google Health for Pixel Watch, the dedicated app for other brands), which writes it to Health Connect: FitMesh reads it from there.

How this compares to other sync architecturesWear OS
Works if
Your Wear OS smartwatch writes data to Health Connect, either directly or through the manufacturer's app (Fitbit/Google Health for Pixel Watch, Galaxy Wearable for Samsung, other apps for other Wear OS brands), and you want to see it alongside the other devices you use.
You probably don't need it if
Your Wear OS device doesn't route through Health Connect (some manufacturers keep data only in their own app), or a single manufacturer app is enough for you without comparing multiple devices.
Requirements
- •A Wear OS smartwatch whose manufacturer writes to Health Connect: check the manufacturer's app before expecting data in FitMesh.
- •Android 9 (API 28) or later for FitMesh; Health Connect is a system module from Android 14, on earlier versions it's installed from the Play Store.
- •Health Connect permission granted to FitMesh for the data types you want to sync.
Data path
The path varies by manufacturer: every Wear OS watch goes through its own companion app before reaching Health Connect, never directly to FitMesh.
- 1The smartwatch records data and sends it to the manufacturer's companion app (varies by brand: Fitbit/Google Health for Pixel Watch, Galaxy Wearable for Samsung, other apps for other Wear OS devices).
- 2The companion app writes to Health Connect, if the manufacturer supports it.
- 3FitMesh reads from Health Connect with your explicit permission, per data type.
- 4Your data shows up on the dashboard at the next sync.
Supported data
The data types FitMesh can read from this integration. Green = available and confirmed by the official source. Amber = FitMesh can read it if the companion app writes it to Health Connect, but no public source confirms this specific source always does. Grey = not available from this source.
What it's actually good for
- •Compare your Wear OS data with other wearables (a ring, another smartwatch) in a single dashboard.
- •Keep a continuous history even when switching Wear OS watches, as long as the new device writes to the same Health Connect types.
Limitations
- •Not every Wear OS smartwatch writes to Health Connect: it depends on the manufacturer's companion app.
- •Available metrics vary by manufacturer: some share sleep stages and HRV, others only steps and heart rate.
- •Manufacturer-side calculated features (coaching, proprietary scores) stay in their own app; FitMesh only sees the underlying raw data.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect my Wear OS watch to FitMesh?+
FitMesh reads Wear OS data through Android Health Connect. Grant FitMesh read permissions in the Health Connect app, then tap 'Sync' in FitMesh. Your watch syncs automatically as long as its companion app (Google Health for Pixel Watch, the dedicated app for other brands) writes data to Health Connect.
Which Wear OS watches are compatible with FitMesh?+
FitMesh works with any Wear OS watch whose companion app syncs to Android Health Connect, including Google Pixel Watch, Fossil, Mobvoi TicWatch, and OnePlus Watch. If your watch writes to Health Connect, FitMesh can read it.
Why is my Wear OS step count different in FitMesh vs the watch?+
Wear OS watches send data to Health Connect at intervals, so there may be a small delay. Also, if multiple devices track steps at the same time, FitMesh picks one winning source instead of adding them together: you'll never see the total of two devices combined. Check Health Connect settings to set your watch as the preferred source.
Does FitMesh support Wear OS sleep tracking?+
Yes, FitMesh imports sleep stages (light, deep, REM, awake) from any Wear OS watch whose companion app writes sleep data to Android Health Connect. Sleep tracking must be enabled on the watch itself.
