Need help with setting up Helio

I bought a Helio Core today and I’m curious about how to use it properly. Recently my gym sessions and runs were paused because of an injury, and because of that I gained quite a bit of weight. Now I’m starting my weight loss journey again.

Earlier, I mostly used Google Fit and Strava to track my runs, and for the gym I usually just logged the total workout time instead of individual exercises. I noticed there’s an option in the Helio app to connect it with Google Fit should I connect it? And is there any benefit to connecting it with Strava as well?

For now, I’m mainly thinking of using it as a heart rate monitor during my runs and walks on Strava, since I wanted something to track my heart rate properly while running.

Also, should I keep features like stress monitoring and blood oxygen tracking turned on, or is it better to keep them off?
