Recently I purchased Galaxy Watch 2 and paired it with my One plus 9 pro mobile. I am looking for an option to track the real time location of the watch from my mobile phone. I am planning to give this watch to my parents So I can track their real time location if they went somewhere without informing anyone in the home.
I want to track the watch location from mobile. Not using SOS or Find My Watch Option.

It controls your music app, play, pause etc but it doesn't allows you to go through your library to search for your song. Maybe its a limitation of the app or because the screen is too small, hence they don't include that ability. It is compatible to our note 2.

I know only one app wich can browse library (Artist, Album, Song) SWP for smartwatch and it has his own built in player.
The PowerAmp-App for the Smartwatch 2 can do all this and more (in combination with PowerAmp installed on your Phone).
Love this App! I'm using it every day
To your other question about compatibility:
The Sony Smartwatch 2 is made to work with every Android Phone running Android 4.0 and higher.

For $100 it's an awesome gadget. Compared to the smartwatches out right now it is a best-of-all-worlds device.
- Color touch screen.
- Perfectly visible in direct sunlight.
- Always-on watch face.
- Fully customizable watch faces.
- 3-4 day battery life.
- Non-proprietary charger.
- Water resistant.
- Compatible with any standard 24mm watchband.
- Large selection of apps in the app store.
- No hard limit on number of apps and watch faces you can have (unlike 4 or 8 limit with pebble).
- With the right apps, can forward any and all notifications from your phone.
- Can also display most widgets from your phone on your watch using remote widget app.
The only downsides depending on your point of view:
- Shorter battery life than pebble, still longer than almost any other smart watch
- No microphone or speaker
- Support may wane now that android wear is out, but so far holding steady
I got one for Christmas, and broke it two weeks ago. I went less than a week before buying another one, I liked it that much. Conversely, I had a pebble steel for three days and returned it.
Hi
I am getting my daughter a samsung galaxy tab 3 tablet and I was wondering are there any apps available that can reduce the number of apps available at night.
The reason is I would be happy if she had the tablet in her room at night if I can be sure she is not watching youtube, playing games etc.
She will want to listen to music at night and I am happy with that, but I would like to have something that I could disable all apps and only leave music available.
If no such app exists are there any other apps which would keep a history of what apps were used and when they were used?
Thanks
Confiscate the tablet at night and buy a cheap 10 quid MP3 player for her to use for music?
You could use an app to keep track of the time an app is used, like Frequency: App Usage Tracking or App Usage Tracker.
Regards
HI GUYS,
im looking for a watch face with these things, heart rate, digital, steps , short cuts any ideas? im new to smartwatches
Hi - I use these sites - you can use WatchMaker (Play app store) or download the .gwd files and use Gear Watch Designer to import them to your watch - personally I find WatchMaker easier

I made one called "Simply Flat" and it's available free on Samsung apps.
I have some more featuring these options, but they are paid and have 3D rendered animations.
I would like to be able to record my hike and see the breadcrumb trail on a map on the watch while still doing the hike when I don't have my phone with me. It is an LTE version but it would be even better if I could download the maps ahead of time for off-line use.
The samsung health app records a track but does not show it to you or a map until you mark it finished and even then it is not a map you can zoom in on, just shows the whole trail.
Strava also records a track but does not show it or a map on the watch.
Google maps works for navigating but not recording a track.
Is there a good app for this? Lots of apps record a track but do not show it on the watch on a map during the hike.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hello, anybody can tell me how it is possible to convert Amazfit .bin files to .gdw Files for Galaxy Watch 3?I have to say I'm very disappointed with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. I have the AmazFit Bip U Pro and the Galaxy Watch 3 and it's sad that after a few days of testing I'm ready to go back from the Watch 3 to amazfit. The display of all data (sleep, heart rate etc) is displayed much more precisely on the AmazFit, especially for people who are not doctors. For example, the AmazFit shows that e.g. 81% of people my age slept better. the whole thing is then also explained in German. With the heart rate, the app shows me what my health looks like for every measurement I select. But what gives me the rest is that there are applications like "AmazFitWatches", which offer thousands of watch faces for free, but also the Zepp app or AmazMod offer umpteen WatchFaces on. Now the question, is it possible to convert WatchFaces? The GTR also offers a round WatchFace. Thank you for your help.
