for some, this is a bit of deal breaker in the long run... because otherwise need to input data manually into other trackers which is cumbersome.  and it might push others to use other apps...

apple Health will be most helpful. Some sort of fix to go through Suunto/Garmin or Strava would be great too, although I’m satisfied with Apple Health. Thx!

please make it universal on Apple Health app, not just Apple Watch as many of us use other watches like Garmin or Suunto.
