Has anyone used a web interface for viewing and storing their data accumulated in the Health app other than Gyroscope?

I typically log most of my training runs (and sleep) with a Garmin but sometimes use an Apple Watch during the rest of the day. I’m somewhat able to consolidate my data in the Health, but I’d like to be able to have that stored and viewed outside of Health.

I like the Garmin site, but haven’t found a way to import steps, etc. from the Apple Watch.

Ideally I’m looking for a third-party option but haven’t found anything yet (other than Gyroscope).

Any suggestions?
 
Situation is pretty bleak at the moment. I use TrainingPeaks (for cycling and other metrics mostly) but need to use a third party paid for app to transfer that data across from Health, or any other fitness app (eg. Keep) which syncs data over to Health. Strava won't sync to TrainingPeaks, though myfitnesspal does and so does Zwift. Free third party app options are minimal - fitnesssyncer - is the only one I can think of, and it's pretty dirge to use.

Basically if you cycle, run, do yoga, cross training and want all your activities in one place.. you're shafted unless like you like logging a fair amount of it manually every day. Shows you how much of a joke the tech industry is really. All too busy competing and being 'niche' to actually provide a pain-free experience.
 
This is really where Apple needs to (or should) step up and allow users to see all of their accumulated Health data on something other than the iPhone. It's ridiculous that Apple has built this awesome repository (HealthKit) that app developers have leveraged, but the only consolidated spot to view and analyze is the Health app.

The Health app is so underwhelming that it straddles the line of ludicrousness.

The app is slow. The charts/graphs are ridiculous. The presentation is awful.

IMO, Apple needs to develop a section in the iCloud webpage to allow users to analyze all of the collected data. it would also help if the charts and graphs didnt' look like it was drawn by a 3 year old using a box of crayolas.

If they don't want to do that, at least make an iPad Health app that can read the data off the iPhone (or iCloud). Something larger than the 4.7"/5.5" screens that we're stuck on.
 
Agreed, and it's a shame no other developer that I'm aware of (other than Gyroscope) is trying to leverage the data in Health into something more user-friendly that you can access and analyze online.

That being said, some of the app integration with Health is flaky. Up until recently, Garmin repeatedly added multiple copies of my runs to Health, and I'm still unsure how it's getting Total Walking + Running Distance for the day.
