Fwiw that's also exactly what I had to do to get mine to pair with my Verizon Galaxy S6. Had to forget it from the S6 (in Bluetooth), factory reset the watch (on the watch itself) and then use the Android Wear app on the S6 to pair it up again.

I just got my watch today, but it is not able to connect to my Tab S 8.4 LTE... The Gear manager in my tablet cannot find the watch even though it is right next to it. I tried to reboot both devices and turn the Bluetooth off and on, and nothing works. Really Samsung, not even compatible with your own galaxy devices?

No smartwatch from samsung was compatible with tablets, regardless phone capabilities of tablets. So...short answer...NO

This really sucks... My note 4 broke and I didn't want to buy a phone because I have a tablet that can take calls and want to wait for the S8 and the Note 8 next year...

The watch will work with every phone with 1.5 gb of ram and android 4.4 and up. I'm sure you will find a second hand S5 for 100 $ to use it for 3 or 4 months. Then resell it.

Yea, that is probably what I should do now. Good advice, thanks.
I'm in the same boat as you. My primary phone is (and will continue to be) a Tab A with telephony. It won't work with the S3, so I picked up a cheap Android that lives in my desk drawer and is only used on occasions when the watch needs to be paired with a phone.
I run a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 and i had to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to pair and configure my Gear S3. What a pity !
Hi!
Any updates on this?
I spent last couple of days trying to pair Gear S3 with Tab 8.4 Pro (SM-T325) running stock kitkat 4.4 - no luck (((
It's such a shame that Samsung doesn't even make an attemp to make their own devices compatible with each other. Was a big surprise for me.
So, did anybody manage to couple Gear S3 with any tablet? If yes, how did you do it?
I have an LG watch sport Android Wear 2.0 smart watch and whenever I pair it with my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus via Bluetooth the phone says that it is connected but I am unable to receive any notifications on my watch I also go look in the Android Wear application and it says that the watch is connected as well can any of you guys please help me with this problem thank you very much I appreciate it if there's any solution. I just got my phone 3 days ago and I love it but I also want to use my smart watch Bluetooth capabilities so that I can receive notifications while at work
Check if the Android Wear app on your S8+ has been granted access to the notifications.
Thank you very much I will get a check now and see. Is the Galaxy S8 able to use Android Wear on it because I know I had a Samsung Gear 2 that was only able to work on Samsung phones?
Yes android wear works fine with Samsung. I'm currently using the huawei watch 2 with no issues.

Hello,
I am in India and planning on buying Gear S3. Before i clicked on pay, i read a few reviews on playstore about the watch not being able to connect with most non Samsung phone. I just want to know, has anyone out there tried pairing S3 with Moto G3 or others in the same series. If So, Please let me know the problems you faced and how you troubleshooted them. Big thanks.... Please Help:crying:

I have an old Moto E, a Moto G4, and a Honor 8 and it pairs perfectly with all of them. As long as you install the Samsung apps on your G3 I really don't think you'll have a problem.

Sorry, the only G3 I have has a melted USB plug and can no longer be charged. I had no problem pairing with the other phones though.

I got my Samsung Gear 2 (Camera + IR) watch when I had my Note 4. I sold my Note 4 hoping to use the Gear 2 on a non-Samsung Android phone but was bitterly disappointed. I was told the Gear 2 needed to be paired with a Samsung Phone.
I still like the Gear 2 because of the Camera & IR. I am upgrading to a Note8 soon. I just want to confirm that the Gear 2 works with the Note8, else I will probably add a smart watch to my order (I hope to just keep the Gear 2).
Anyone successfully paired and using the Gear 2 with the Note8 and getting notifications on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your response!
Yes, my Gear 2 (flashed to run Tizen) works with my T-Mobile branded Note 8. Pictures taken with the Gear 2 upload automatically to the Note 8. I'm not sure what you may be referring to by "IR." The watch and phone pair with Bluetooth and there is no Infrared on the Note 8. Let me know what you're after and I see what I can find.
IR refers to the Infra Red remote control on the Watch. I have stock Tizen running on my Gear 2 so I want to use the Infra Red remote on the watch.
I see my local phone stores have the Note8 on display for customers to demo. I will carry the watch to the store and see if it could pair successfully to their Notes and I can see notifications. Hopefully I can signin to my Samsung Account from the demo phones in the store... and hopefully I can remove everything after.
Yes, I had forgotten about the IR function and app on the Gear 2 as I don't use it. The Note 8 does not have any IR functionality, but I can't imagine that the Note 8 will in anyway interfere with that functionality on the Gear 2.
Yes, the Gear 2 is dated. However, it's the camera and it's convenience (especially when traveling) that keeps me hanging on to it!
I have the Gear 2 and the Note 8 phone, and can say they do pair just fine. Most of the watches functionality works as normal, but since the Note 8 phone has Bixby, and not S voice, no voice input on the watch works at all. This is just Samsung abandoning their tech like always, because the S2, and S3 got updated to work with S voice onboard the watch, because of the lack of the app on the phone.
I have a rooted gear 2 that I had been using with my LG G4, I just got an unlocked Note 8 and I have been having trouble pairing it. I've been trying to do it through the Android Wear app, should I reset it and try again through the Samsung software?

Not sure if you're running Android or Tizen. I upgraded to Tizen when it became available from Samsung.
Never tried to pair with the Android Wear app. However, when you pair the watch with a new phone you have no choice but to factory reset the watch.

I'm using Tizen, however my phone doesn't see the watch at all and neither does the gear 2 see the note.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Install the Samsung Gear app on the Note 8
2. Enable Bluetooth on the Note 8
3. Startup the Gear app on the Note 8 and begin the pairing process by selecting "Connect new Gear"
4. Factory reset the Gear 2 and wait for it to finish resetting.
5. You may need to restart the pairing process in the Note 8 Gear app if it takes too long.
Good luck.
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly
