Samsung activities tracked and sync in Google fit but move minutes and heart points wrong

I use health sync to sync my Samsung activities to my Google fit. The steps are always accurate and appear in Google fit. It will log an activity. Say a 2 hour session on the treadmill. This will log say 12000 steps in Google fit and I can see the activity. It says that there are 120 active minutes. The probable is then something the move minutes either read 0 or are just wrong, when I've clearly been moving for 120 minutes. It also sometime either doesn't record any heart points ( sometimes just says 0 heart points) or the number of heart points is considerably low for say a 2 hour session on the treadmill. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't want Google fit to track my fitness activities, but to accurately convert my Samsung health fitness data.

This is an example of what I mean.

Google Fit doesn't do any syncing from other applications, the third-party application is responsible for doing that. Contact Samsung support.

Yeah. It's strange. The heart points data isn't actually on any of the work outs. I've just seen and it seems to be being pulled from so.ewhere else.

There is definitely something strange going on with how google fit is calculating my heart points and displaying the values. Observe this screen shot. It has logged two pieces of data from Samsung health, one with 40 points and the other with 14 points, yet the displayed total for the day is 47 points. What could be causing these discrepancies? Why can't google fit add the two totals together correctly and display 54 for the day?

Not sure if this is a similar issue. I am also syncing from Samsung health. Walked for 33 mins today at a pace of 23 min/mile and google fit only gave me 1 move min?

Me neither. But just ignore it. Google hasn't fixed things in Fit for a long time, it seems to be on life support. Do you see the same data in the Fitbit app?

I don't use fitbit. Just Samsung Health and Google Fit. I enjoyed Google fit because the heart points were a good motivator. Samsung doesn't display or give you access to them. Perhaps you're right and I should just ignore Google fit from now on.
