hi there
i am in a search of a smartwatch be it android or no hesitating between the gear s3 and huawei watch 2
my main use is the ebay app ( being a seller i need to be on that app to see my sales details etc), viber and whatsapp
i have just a few questions, from all the reviews on youtube few forum here and there i understand that :
- there is no official app of ebay for the gear s3? means i will get notification of a sale but wont be able to check the app on my watch as there no tizen ebay app?
-same for viber and whatsapp, as far as i understand, there is again no official app for viber and whatsapp meaning cant take a call or make a call from my watch, i will just get notification
if someone can help me regarding this?
i was thinking if all was true, that mean the gear s3 is just to received notifications??? it would be a bit pricey just to get notification about an app and no real app management from the watch itself
if someone could guide me regarding the usafe of the gear s3 before i buy it
thank you
Chose Huawei smart watch 2 .you will never get Viber call or Messenger full history messaging in Gear s3.

I currently use Sony Smartwatch 3 and Im planning to buy the Gear S2 and Im using moto x pure edition. Anyone got the same device with S2 paired on it? Hows your overall experience so far?
Im a bit concerned about the apps and notifications. Does it really show the notifications whenever it arrives on the phone? Im interested about the following app:
Whatsapp, Viber, Fb Messenger
I mainly use these app will it show notifications on the watch? Can I reply to these apps via watch?
Spotify
Can I press back or next & volume up and down just like I can with the Android Wear? Does it show the title of the song and the album art?
Phone Dialer
As we know Samsung is using their own dialer but in my case I have the AOSP dialer came default, if ever someone will call will I be able to swipe answer or reject from watch?
Calendar
As we know samsung has its own Calendar app, will I be notified with the Google Calendar showing the details and etc or the calendar reminder?
Textra
As we know samsung is using their own SMS app, but Im using Textra will or will the watch be able to detect that I got a message and I can read and reply via watch?
Gmail
As we know samsung is using their email app, will gmail be notified and the watch can detect that ita an email and Icam reply via watch?
I know there are other things that are not included here and if anyone can mention it please do.
Thanks!

I have a moto x pure edition as well, and haven't had any issues with notifications at all yet. Even in remote connection mode.
One thing to keep in mind, you can't put milk music on the watch since you don't have a Samsung phone.
Reading some reviews only one I read recently pointed out that using gear s3 on a not Samsung android smartphone you cannot use s voice to perform text to speech in answering, for instance, SMS or mail or whatsapp, etc
Is it really true? That's a shame!!!
What else will I miss using a not Samsung android phone?

I have the Gear S3 Frontier paired with a OnePlus 3 and S Voice is working, I can answer and write messages by using my voice but I can't read my text messages or my emails, I just have a notification when it comes, and I can answer it that way, but there isn't a real application "messages" and "e-mail" as you may have with a Samsung device.
I'm trying to look for it.
That's OK. I mean, you can answer mail, SMS, chat (hangout, whatsapp) notifications using s voice.
But you can't read old sma, mails, chats, etc right?
I use android wear and apart from hangout where you have a dedicated app it's the same. That's OK for me.
I just need to be able to use voice to text to answer current notifications.
Anyone with a mate 9 can confirm it?
Hi everyone! I want to buy a smartwatch for my xiaomi redmi note 4x. The main feature for me is notifications. I would like to see, read and answer my emails and others. I would like if one person send me several messages i can read and see all of them (not only their number). Help me please, what would be better for me: huawei watch or samsung gear s3? Thanks!
I owned gear s3 (non-lte version)
You can't reply to WhatsApp message by record.
Typing is very bad...(too little letters).
You can't load WhatsApp window and see chat.
There is no WhatsApp app on "tizen store".
You can't send message trough WhatsApp but if you get message you can reply just to the one who sent the message.
Any specific question you want me to check?
I used Huawei with Wear 1 and I use Gear S3 now. Both on the same Samsung S7.
First question to be asked considering Gear S3 - is your language supported by S Voice?
If not - you're out of voice reply - like me speaking unsupported Hebrew.
I am not suffering a lot from absence of voice recognition, since Google Hebrew recognition was horrible any way.
Otherwise, I operate without any problem on S3: Email, SMS, Whatsapp and Viber.
Of course, answering using watch keyboard is a bit tricky, like SMS on an old Nokia.
Hi all,
I just took delivery of my new Gear S3 and had a couple of questions if someone could kindly point me in the right direction.
1. If I get a Whatsapp notification on my Gear S3 and the notification has an image attachment, is there any way I can view this on my Gear S3?
2. If I view the Whatsapp notification on my smartphone it is removed from my Gear S3, how do I view the last message again on the Gear S3?
Thank you,
Mark
1) Search for "Image Viewer 4 WhatsApp" in Gear App Store
2) Search for "WHistory" in Gear App Store
Unfortunately it's not possible without third party apps.

Hi
I have the Samsung Gear S3 and a Samsung Galaxy S7 and when my S7 is locked it won't send/push messages (particularly whatsapp messages) to my Gear S3. I have the show content on plus notifications on the Gear on for whatsapp. Not sure if anyone else has come across this as well.
Any advice to fix this would be helpful.
Thanks
Amy
Hello - I haven’t been receiving any notifications on my watch 4 classic when using google messaging. If I switch to Samsung messaging it works fine. Called support and they told me I had two options: upgrade to watch 5 or send in my brand new watch to have the board replaced? They state my watch does not support the messaging. I get the messages when I launch the app, just no notifications … any thoughts please?
Hello there spudslatte,
I don't really think those problems should be happening so I think youre best option is to send it in for board replacement.
Hope this helps,
Akhilan
