En resumen

  • Brands with an active official web dashboard in 2026: Garmin, Polar, Withings, Oura, Whoop and Strava.
  • Samsung Health, Apple Health, Fitbit and Xiaomi Mi Fitness have no web dashboard: third-party apps or self-hosting are required.
  • Via Health Connect (Android): third-party apps like FitMesh Sync read the data and show it on the web. Mature solution, setup in minutes.
  • Via self-hosted (Raspberry Pi, NAS, Grafana): total control and no cloud, but a high learning curve. Technical users only.
  • Via Google Sheets: works for aggregated data (steps, weight, daily sleep) but does not scale to high-frequency intraday data.

Most wearable manufacturers have stopped investing in web dashboards: Fitbit.com was decommissioned, Samsung Health never offered a real web dashboard, Apple Health is iOS-only by design. Garmin, Polar, Withings and Oura are the exceptions with official web dashboards still active. For everyone else (Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Mi Band, Apple Watch) there are three alternative paths that actually work in 2026.

Official web dashboards still active

BrandOfficial web dashboardWhat you see
Garminconnect.garmin.comEverything: activities, sleep, weight, calendar, GPS maps
Polarflow.polar.comActivities, sleep, training load, calendar
Stravastrava.comAll activities, segments, maps, social
Withingshealthmate.withings.comWeight, sleep, HR, ECG, activity
Ouracloud.ouraring.comSleep, readiness, activity, biorhythm
Whoopapp.whoop.comRecovery, strain, sleep, calendar
FitbitAccount management only (no dashboard)Profile / deletion only
Samsung HealthNo official web dashboard
Apple HealthNo web dashboard
Xiaomi Mi FitnessNo web dashboard
Huawei HealthLimited, regional (CN)

Important news for ex-Fitbit users: the fitbit.com dashboard that let you see steps and sleep on PC was progressively decommissioned in 2023–2024. Today fitbit.com only has the account/privacy area. Same for Galaxy Watch: Samsung never offered a real web dashboard.

Three paths for uncovered cases (Galaxy Watch, Pixel Watch, Mi Band, Apple Watch)

Path 1: third-party apps with web dashboards

There are apps reading via Health Connect (Android) or HealthKit (iOS via separate iCloud sync) and showing data on a web dashboard tied to your account. FitMesh Sync is our solution: Android app reading from Health Connect and pushing data to backend, then web dashboard accessible from any browser with Google/Apple login. There are alternatives, some more consumer (Welltory), others more technical (Heads Up Health).

Path 2: self-hosted home server

For those comfortable with a Raspberry Pi or NAS: open-source software like Grafana + custom database lets you import exported data (Apple Health XML, Fitbit Takeout JSON, Garmin FIT) and build totally private browser dashboards. High learning curve, total data control.

Path 3: Google Sheet + script

The minimalist path: periodically export from the manufacturer, import into Google Sheets, build charts. Works if you're fine with low-granularity steps/weight/sleep. Doesn't scale to intraday data (per-second HR).

Quick decision tree

  • Got Garmin / Polar / Strava / Withings / Oura / Whoop? → Official web dashboard, done.
  • Got Galaxy Watch / Pixel Watch / Fitbit / Mi Band / Apple Watch and just need visualization? → Third-party app with web dashboard (e.g. FitMesh).
  • Want total control and you're technical? → Self-hosted with Grafana + Takeout.
  • Just want basic numbers for personal analysis? → Google Sheets + periodic import.

In summary

  • Brands with active official web dashboards in 2026: Garmin (connect.garmin.com), Polar (flow.polar.com), Withings, Oura, Whoop, Strava.
  • Samsung Health, Apple Health, Fitbit, and Xiaomi Mi Fitness have no web dashboard: third-party apps or self-hosting are required.
  • Via Health Connect (Android): third-party apps like FitMesh Sync read data and display it on the web. Mature solution, setup in under 5 minutes.
  • Via self-hosted (Raspberry Pi, NAS, Grafana): total control, no cloud, but high learning curve. Recommended only for technical users.
  • Via Google Sheets: works for aggregated data (steps, weight, daily sleep) but doesn't scale to high-frequency intraday data.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is there an official web dashboard for Samsung Health?+

No. Samsung never released a real web dashboard for Samsung Health. There's an account portal at account.samsung.com but it's only for account management, not for viewing activity or sleep.

Does Apple Health have a web version?+

No. Apple Health is iOS-only and data lives on iPhone (synced via iCloud between Apple devices). There's no web dashboard and Apple has no announced plans for one.

Can third-party apps show historical data too?+

Depends. Via Health Connect the available history is what manufacturer apps wrote to HC: typically 30–90 days back at first connect. For deeper history you need manufacturer manual export or (where it exists) official OAuth with 6–12 month backfill.
