I am looking buying a gear 3 frontier I am required to have a iphone for my work. I understand I should be able to get most notifications on my watch but not reply.
Can custom or 3rd party watch faces be added to the watch? If so does it need to be side-loaded.

Hello everyone, I'm running into a weird issue with the Gear App store. When I had my Gear s2 classic paired to my Galaxy Note Edge, I was able to see the Snoopy watch faces and some of the Gear O'Clock watch faces as well. I could download them and use them on the watch with no problems. I just got the AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday and paired my Gear S2 classic to the phone. But when I go to the Gear App store, none of those watch faces appear at all. They don't show up when I search for them using the search feature either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager plus factory resetting the Gear S2 Classic as well. When I pair the watch back up to the Galaxy Note Edge, the same Gear app store lets me see the Snoopy and Gear O'Clock watch faces and download them with no troubles. Any idea whats causing this?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that Samsung forces developers to manually update their apps to support the Galaxy S7 lines. The mentioned devs haven't done so. Samsung may do it for them shortly, but if you want to get those apps/faces quicker, just contact the devs and ask them to update. I received several emails about this issue from S7 users on launch day, I went ahead and update all my apps and everything appears again

I used GWD to create my face(s). What do I need to do to "update" my faces?

You just submit an update, but instead of uploading a fake new binary, switch to advanced mode and select s7 in the compatible device list, then note that it is a description update only => submit. Takes some hours to go live

Hi all
I have a question and I have searched this forum for answer but no luck.
The question:
Apprently there are some limitations in the Samsun gear app for ios, espicially regarding gear watch faces.
I really like the watch faces from Belvek Gear O'clock but I cant find them on my iphone gear app.
I have tried and to pair my gear s3 with an galaxy s5 phone and there im able to find the faces. I have downloaded and installed one watch faces and then paired my gear s3 with my iphone again and were able to redownload from gear app on iphone.
The problem is that when I pair my gear s3 to another phone all data/app/ s-health history and so on gets deleted
So is there anyway to be able to download the paid watchfaces on the samsung phone without having the watch paired, and then transfer those via Gear watch designer?
Thanks for you time

Hi there
I am going to be retiring my 2nd Gen Moto 360 and buying a Samsung Gear S3 in a couple of days. I've never really seen one in person because smart watches aren't really popular where I live but the pictures look good online, I also love the fact that it doesn't have the annoying flat tire that my Moto does.
I am not sure if it uses the exact same Android Wear OS as my Moto (heard Samsung has its own interface) but is there a way to install custom watchfaces from facerepo to it? I always use facerepo for all my Moto watch faces which can be imported using different applications like Watch Maker, Facer, etc. but I haven't seen any faces for the Gear S3 specifically, just the Gear Live watch.
Am I missing something? Are we stuck with the stock watch faces Samsung provides?
And what about the "custom ROMs" I see here? I'm a fan of modding and installing custom ROMs on my Android devices but I've never really seen one for a smart watch before.
Thanks for your time.
1st, the S3 is a Tizen watch, not android wear, and so will not run android apps. Including google maps and assistant.
2nd, if you have Watchmaker, there is a companion app, call appropriately, Watchmaker companion. It allows faces from facerepo to be loaded to your S3. I'm using it and it works well. the only caveat is that sometimes I have to load a face twice to have the units converted correctly.
Also, Facer has a similar companion app.
3rd, since it's a Tizen watch and not open source, I would personally stay away from custom roms until more experimentation is done (on other peoples watches) unless you want a $350 brick on your wrist or are totally OK risking that.
I try to use samsung Health app for iphone with gear s2 for months. The embedded version of shealth in gear S app is very basic.
The full version of Shealth for iphone does not support gear s2.
I am able to sync only once and i don't know how.
Anyone know how to sync gear s2 with shealth for iphone (the full standalone app)?
Meanwhile i'm trying mapmyrun for iphone. It has a native app for gear s2 and seem very complete
Unfortunately I do not think there's a way. If you want to use the standalone application from Samsung Helth, you'll need to synchronize Gear information with your Samsung account whenever you're ready to see something.
Samsung Health only gained integration with the upgraded watches for Tizen 3.0. What we have left is to give 1 star and post our indignation on the page of Samsung Health in the App Store.
That's exactly why it comes out of a Galaxy S7 and I bought an iPhone 8. The Apple Watch 1 edition is updated to this day, even though it has a hardware inferior to Gear S2. I never buy any Samsung handset again.
Finally thinking of upgrading from my older Gear 2. Over time I have collected quite a few watch faces. Am I correct in assuming that none of these will be transferable to the Watch 4?
There was another thread about this. They will work. My wife went from active2 to watch4 and had her favorite watchface from the galaxy store in the galaxy wearable app and when she switched all she did was tap the old watchface and boom it worked
Awesome, thank you!
