Discovery Vitality [2019]

Where do you guys see this 30min rule. I don't see anything on the website.

Is there still a total limit for the step points? It says 1200 points per month so if I do that every month do I get 12k+ points?

That's actually such a good point! Missed that - I'm pretty sure last year it was 1000 points max per year - 1200 points per month is an extra 13k odd points a year

I don't recall a limit on steps last year, and certainly not as low as 1000, 5000 is the limit for pregnant woman, not sure why.

Device updates[/B]

To ensure we offer you a seamless experience when earning Vitality fitness points by getting active we are discontinuing integration with iHealth, Misfit and TomTom from the Vitality programme. This will be effective from January 2019.

If you are currently linked to one of these devices we will continue to allocate points for your workout data but no new users will be able to link their accounts to Discovery Vitality from January.

Maybe a silly question... iHealth is the apple health app right? If you haven't linked it yet, and you get the apple watch as part of that offering, can you not sync your workouts? What am I missing here?

You are correct, if you had not connected iHealth by 31 Dec, you will not be able to therefore getting an iWatch serve zero value in the context of discovery and vitality points

What the actual f...
 
But that's retarded, unless they now going to stop the apple watch benefit... oh another knock to apple :P

So wait, is there another app that iphone users can download to capture steps - because site says "If you are currently linked to one of these devices we will continue to allocate points for your workout data but no new users will be able to link their accounts to Discovery Vitality from January."
 
I'm not an apple user but what about the normal health app. That seems like it is still supported.

They doing a full device push now so they moving away from software based tracking, so I am quite confused as to why they have not removed Samsung Health.

To the best of my knowledge the only way to sing iWatch to iPhone is via iHealth which is how you would sync it ot iDiscovery. So existing apple watch owners are good, new ones are not.

TomTom is leaving wearables, so no new devices will be coming out, any any in stock will probably start going on special soon.
 
oh crap!! Guys, please ignore all of the above... just went onto Discovery's site, they show them as different, between ihealth and the ios health app!

Wow that was silly of me??
 
No it is not the default healh app.

It is a different 3rd party app called iHealth from the app store, i use a iHealth blood pressure monitor on my phone. Previously you could link this to discovery.

I have a Bluetooth bloodpressure monitor from ihealth and it synch to my phone so i have a full record

iHealth does firness devices like blood pressure, fitness tracking ( basic), weight via connected scale, glucose etc..


See https://ihealthlabs.com/fitness-devices/


Edit add

The normal ios app is just called health
