I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I looked through 10 different threads and didn't find what I was seeking. This has been a PITA for me.
So I had a Note Edge and went into the store to trade it for a cheaper phone while grabbing a Gear S2. The cheaper phone I grabbed was a Galaxy Core Prime. I did this because I have a Blackberry Priv that I use as my primary. When I started the S2, Milk was already on there, but so was someone else's contacts, messages, numbers, etc., suggesting that it was evidently a restocked item. When I formatted it, Milk disappeared. Now, had I known that one needed a special high-end Samsung phone to even get Milk on the S2, I obviously would have kept my Note for an extra day to do just that. As it stand, the S2 works perfectly with the Priv, but it cannot access the Milk Companion in the Galaxy Apps Store. My Galaxy Tab S doesn't connect with gear at all, and the Galaxy Core Prime has access to all of the relevant apps but doesn't meet the requirements to connect to the S2.
Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions for getting the Milk app on my S2? I've not been able to find a WGT file for the life of me, and I'm half-tempted to root the Prime so that I can access the Galaxy Apps Store companion file, as I suspect that's the necessary widget. If there’s not a simpler solution though, I might try to go to a Samsung Kiosk or a carrier's store to see if they won't let me temporarily pair the S2 with a sufficient Samsung phone to grant me Milk access. I've got 2gb of data for this watch and it'd be nice to come close to using it.
Hindsight...
Does anyone have a Milk WGT file they can upload?

I have my Samsung Gear 2 paired with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and when I go into the app store it only shows around 55 apps. I took it into Best Buy where I bought both and talked with the rep there. His S3 paired with a Gear 2 Neo showed all of the apps. Is there any workaround or fix for this? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Galaxy app store and the Gear manager, re-flashing the S5, and factory resetting the Gear 2. Any help you guys can offer would be very appreciated!

Load up a build.prop editor from the play store if your phone is rooted and change the phone model to a G900T which is a regular S5 , there are a few threads out there covering how to do this. For some crazy reason Samsung hasn't figured out that their app store sucks really bad and it's apps will work for Gear 1 and Gear 2 with all versions of the note 2,3's and all versions of their S4/S5's. It seems the store checks to see the exact phone model and if the developer of the apps hasn't listed your exact model, then it won't show. Samsung has become a lost cause. Luckily for us though we have XDA and some work arounds. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply,I haven't rooted it yet but I'll try it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get more than 55 apps to show up lol
Okay, so towelroot doesn't currently support the S5 Active, or so it told me when I mashed the "make it ra1n" button. Looking for another rooting option.
Edit: Found a rooting solution! http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
Got everything working and good to go!
I have ordered a Gear S2 Classic and will get it in a few days. I know I can pair the watch to a non-Samsung phone. I have an HTC One M8. However, is it possible to access the Galaxy store to purchase new faces from a non-Samsung store? Any workaround?
Thanks!
I have a Huawei phone and use the relevant store (from the Gear Manager) without any issue. There may not be any issue for you at all.

Thanks! I understand that I can get free faces on the store, but can you get paid ones? Thanks.
I've done it on my M8 and my HTC 10, so yes.

Thanks for the replies! I received my Gear S2 Classic yesterday and was able to buy a paid watch face, so yes it worked. I had read on several places that only free faces and apps could be downloaded from the Galaxy store but, thankfully, this is not true anymore.
I found that the Samsung Gear Manager app does not always connect properly to the store and I had to reboot my M8 a couple of times but otherwise it does work.
Thanks again to GodzillaMonster and Gamesoul Master for their replies!
This thread can be closed now. Cheers!
Hi,
I have recently sold my Huawei Watch 2 for a Samsung Gear S3. I have done some research into these 2 watches being very similar apart from the OS's. The Tizen Store is not as fruitful as the Wear OS Store I am after recommendations to get the most out of my new watch. I like to use all the functions on the watch, so I am after apps to get (Free or Apps with Fees) that show the watch off to its best.
P.S Also anything that the Apple watch cant do that I the Samsung one can.
Best Regards
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

I can't get the gear wear app to install. Not compatible in play store and when I install from apk mirror keeps freezing. I'm trying to use gear S3 watch. Worked fine on op6t. Any help appreciated

I have a question regarding sync between Samsung Health (not SHM) and GW4.
Does Galaxy Watch 4 requires Samsung Health android app version 6.17+ in order to work? Since my phone (Xperia Z5) is stuck on android 7 officially, my Samsung Health app is also stuck on version 6.15.6.001. I have made few attempts to register manually through Samsung Health by tapping on Galaxy Watch4 register button in the accessories menu ( ≡ > Accessories > Galaxy Watch4 > Register) but it fails to find the watch.
Because of this, my phone Samsung Health app doesn't sync with the watch Samsung Health app.
things i tried:
Manually register from Samsung Health App
Resetting the watch and register through Samsung Health App
Resetting the watch and re-register through Wearable then Samsung Health app
Any Ideas?
Were you able to install the Samsung Wearable app with the Galaxy Watch 4 plugin?

Yes, Galaxy wearable app and GW4 plugins works perfectly, no hiccups.
The libraries for watch4 are inside the Samsung Health in 6.18 but not previous version, so sadly, I don't think it would pair as long as you have the old 6.15 Samsung Health... I would've lowered the android target to 7 but such a small mod may not hold up for too long and end up breaking, if you want to try, let me know and I will lower it for you...

It's okay there's no need. I ended up unlocked the bootloader of my phone and flashed Lineage OS 18 so i can use latest Samsung Health in exchange for battery life and thermal stability.
Edit:
I think you can go ahead and lower the android target 7 and i'll let you know if it works or not. It might help others for the moment if it works

Sure, but I can't test it as a samsung user, samsung health mod never works for samsung phones and as I said, most likely to be break (unstable), so it will be only for you to test and not for the public as it might confuse people or give false hope more than helping them
I will PM you the mod later
EDIT:
Samsung Health MOD is broken due to being a core application, it can't be modified without breaking several services and functions such the cloud backup sync
