I just ordered my first smartwatch (Sony Smart Watch) for 130 $. I have high expectation, because I believe this got a big potential.
Anyways my question is if there are any browser apps for the smart watch?
i dont know, but can you post here your impression of the smarth watch? I'd love to hear what it is
As far as I know, there currently is no working browser available for the SmartWatch. There are people out there working on it though. I found this app called SmartChrome (hxxp://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rza.liveview.SmartChrome&hl=nl) that should resemble a browser but it does not show up in the list of apps once it is installed so I guess we'll have to wait until this issue gets addressed by the developer of said app.

There is now:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.vaggan.webbrowser
Web browsing is tough enough on a smartphone (I have a Note II and I still find the screen too small!). Try it on your Smartwatch and you'll really appreciate your phone! But yes as the previous poster mentioned, if you must access full websites from your 1.3" 0.016 megapixel watch, WebBrowser for SmartWatch by Vaggan is the way to go.

Question 7 in the faq on the augmented smartwatch pro page says.
Question #7:
Will your app support the Samsung Galaxy gear watch?
Answer:
Probably not, but will look at their APIs once they release their SDK. It is unclear if their APIs will allow the hands-free and at a glance capability to 3rd party apps.

The decision is yours. Remember one thing though. The battery life on the sw2 is better because it has a slower processor which does the job just fine. I mean it's a watch for crying out loud why would you need a 1ghz dual core that can't last more than 24 hours.
I was wanting to get the Pebble first but I had to wait for shipping whole the sw2 was available locally.
Watch some reviews on YouTube and remember to install augmented smartwatch pro if you want Arabic to work.

Hello experts.
i have a phablet " galaxy note 8" and another xperia p android
i have a problem
when i walk down the street and i get a call , i have to get the tablet out of my back bag , open the cover , and discover that it is an unwanted call.
and smart watches are ridiculously expensive.
im looking for an app that makes when i get a call on the tablet to see who is calling through the xperia phone ,just like a smartwatch , i think it is doable.
all i need is to see who is calling on the tablet through somthing that easly reachable.
and please do not refer me to any tablet talk or something that connects a tablet to a phone because it doesnt make it the other way around
i want to use the phone to make me see who is calling on my phablet " the phone here is the one that is being used as a smartwatch"
SMSreader is an app that can announce who is calling. If you don't want that then invest in a case with a window and magnet. The phone will display the information in the window without opening it. Otherwise you'll have to find another solution. That or have your calls forwarded to the smaller of your phones

Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first smart watch and the gear s2 seems to tick all the boxes for me. However, I've come across the gear app and plugin app in the play store and the reviews are terrible, with users bringing up issues with connectivity dropouts and the like.
I just wondered on your experiences on non-samsung phones with the S2?
(I'm on Nexus 6P, non rooted, 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I have a GS2 Classic paired to a Moto Droid Turbo 2. Generally, no problems.
Occasional disconnects after upgrading to Nougat, but less than one/week.

There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights the differences.

Fine on xperia Z5C
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.
However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.
Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.
Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.
using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?
That s*cks :/

App purchases are tied to your Samsung account, not the device. They only need be purchased once. Devices can be changed at will.
Good Morning Everybody,
So I am now rocking an Asus Zenwatch 3 and since the Android Wear 2.0 update is not coming, I am trying to get myself a new smartwatch.
I am thinking either to buy the Gear S3 or to stay on Android Wear 2.0 and going for the Huawei Watch 2 Classic or LG Watch Style.
My phone is not a Samsung and I don't intend in getting one soon, I currently have the Google Pixel XL and in a couple of days switching to the Blackberry Keyone.
Question, is this watch worthed and useful?
Does it work well with a non Samsung Device?
How's Tizen compare to Android Wear?
Thanks
The whole functionality you'll only get with a Samsung phone from 4.3/4.4. (Samsung Store/Pay, watch updates and so on often failes on different android-phones)
Some Android-phones are completely not supported (not only because of root and custom roms..), like my Mediapad X2...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/how-to-gear-s3-unsupporteted-android-t3521532
(AndroidWear is working fine on my phone, without any limitations, also 2.0 update with my Huawei Watch 1)
I switched from using an LG to a Samsung phone with the S3.There was very little additional functionality gained. Here's a chart that compares all the features across Samsung, Android, and iOS devices.

Thank you guys
Well, I'm using it with the Blackberry Priv and I don't have any issues at all. It is connected via Bluetooth. I logs my walks, hikes and bike rides and I can view the info on the watch or in the S-health app on the Priv. I can update or install apps and watch faces from the Priv. I have been using S-pay which I still find weirdly fun to do!!!! But the Priv still runs Marshmallow. I don't know any details but there are or may be issues with Nougat on some aspects of the Gear S3 (others can let you know if S-pay works).
I'm also active on the Crackberry forum and there have been a few discussions of the Gear S3 there. There's also a Keyone thread and maybe you could ask for info.

Thank you. I will do
I'm using the S3 with a Moto G4 and everything works with no restrictions. Don't feel like you need a Samsung phone to use all the features.

What does the comment help all those who do not have all the functions with his android phone?
Or what is the general benefit of this observation?
Additionally, the thread creator has no Moto G4 -
if I am not wrong
I have been using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as the carrier with earlier a Gear S2 and now Gear S3 Frontier (and Moto 360 prior to the Gear watches), and absolutely love my S3.
The key aspects of the watch which I find very useful - The rotating dial and unique interface, excellent battery, nice in built S-Health, Samsung-Pay, etc should work with all Android phones. With Gear app and S-Health app available in Google App-store, anyone with an Android phone can install them and make use of them.
The other features I also like very much is ability to sync all messages and email on the S3 itself since I use the Samsung native messaging and email app on my Note5. This I believe will be the only things not available with other Android devices.
Overall - The message/email syncing, S-Pay from wrist, decent stock health tracking app, very intuitive and nice interface with rotating bezel, and extremely competitive battery life (I get 4 days with Always on Display off) has made me absolutely adore the S3.

I ve got this answer from watchmaker admin :
Apologies - Samsung removed the Companion App for WatchMaker from Galaxy Apps Store.
This was due to Samsung requiring a change in our business model so that we should sell watches on the Samsung platform, as well as on Google and Apple.
We are working closely with Samsung to get this resolved as soon as possible and have already submitted a new version for Samsung to review.
Once the new version is approved, it will work exactly the same as the current version and will not force any additional purchases.
