If I start tracking my walk via the wristband, I get no voice prompts but heart rate data appears on app summary. If I start tracking my walk via the app, I get voice prompts but no heart rate data on the app summary. Does anyone know of a way to get both?

@mkrapes The short answer is: no.  

 

Personally, I prefer to track everything from my actual watch and not the app.  I am more concerned about getting accurate heart rate data instead of voice cues.  You can also set up a time or distance goal on the watch before you start the walk and it will vibrate when you reach half way.  So if I set myself a goal of 30 minutes for the walk, then I'll get a vibration at 15 minutes and then it'll vibrate again when I've reached my 30 minute goal walk.

You're probably right about the heart rate data being the more valuable but
why can't you get both? The device leaves a lot to be desired. You still
can't increase the length of time the display it's visible. Thanks for your
reply.
