Question Google Wear OS or Galaxy Wear? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hello
What's the major difference a user would notice of using Wear OS and not Galaxy Wear?
Would things like Google Assistant work?

Likewise. I just bought a watch4 and I'm a bit confused. Should I pick one or the other or use both apps?

If you need Google Assistant to be integrated you need Wear OS else you are limited by Bixby on the older Galaxy Wear watches

Ok so do in I need to pair the watch again, therefore resetting it? Will the modded SMH still work?

I get just over half way and it stops, I only have one Google account.
I had to select the pair all devices and available Bluetooth devices popped up, I then selected the watch4

Android Wear 2.0 DP GOOGLE ASSISTANT

Just found somthing really cool!!! Android Wear DP (DP3 in my case) has build in Google Assistant!! Yes it's not a Google Now that's why it didn't worked. As soon as i instaled Google Assistant on my Nexus 6P it started working on my watch too!!!!

I also have a Huawei watch and Google Assistant on my 5X. How were you able to activate it on your watch? "Ok Google" still brings up the same interface as before.

Do you have the newest android wear 2.0 dp (nve68j) installed?
If so, as long as you have Google Assistant on you phone just hold the button on you watch and you should see a question if you would like to unable Google Assistant using your phone (or something similar). Just accept it and it should work!)
Now I have it working with my Huawei watch (nve68j) and Nexus 6p (npf10c)
Or you just getting error about reaching google?

Will download Android Wear 2.0 DP and see what happens. Thanks!
im wondering, is it possible to install google assistant on my non developer preview Polar m600 android wear watch?
It's great if your phone is assistant capable, otherwise you lose the query functionality from the watch altogether.

Is it possible to use another app stores ?

Hello
I want to install some apps I see from apple store or other indenpendant stores. Because the galaxy watch store is very poor in terms of choice. So my question is, Is the galaxy store the only way to install apps ? I try to connect Gear s3 to the google Wear Os, but it refused.
Thanks for time

Apple store is for other platform (iOS, watchOS, iPadOS) while Galaxy Watch or Gear is using Tizen OS platform which very different. So there is no way to install apps directly from apple store.
PS: your question is like how to install iOS apps on the Android phone. Lol
What about an apk website for smartwatches?

Use NFC chip of a Samsung smartphone for Google Pay

Hi folks!
I'm an owner of a Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch which runs on Samsungs's Tizen 4.0 system. I already know there is no Google Pay app available for Tizen and unfortunately Samsung Pay isn't available for the S3 in Germany. Currently I'm already using Google Pay on my Pixel phone. Since the S3 has a NFC chip and is linked to my smartphone via bluetooth I'm wondering why the Google pay app on my phone can not simply use the functionality of the NFC of my watch. Is there really no way to link the Google Pay app to the NFC chip of the watch instead to the phones one?? To be clear, I'm not asking for a Tizen app, a standalone solution or WearOS ROM... I just want to put my watch on the terminal instead of pulling out my phone. Any ideas, hint or solutions??
Thanks in advance!

Question Wear OS App

Do you all think that Samsung would eventually feel pressured to add support for Galaxy Watch 4 pairing in the Google Wear OS app? For those who would rather not use Samsung services on non Samsung devices.
They wouldn't even have to enable all the features you loose anyways like ECG and Blood Pressure. I have a OnePlus 9 and just think it would be more seamless instead of needing the Galaxy Wearables app.
Or if it does not even fall to Samsung and is just a matter Google adding Support for the Watch in their app.
No, I don't think so. If anything, it seems like other WearOS 3.x watches might start moving to separate pairing apps. We don't know for sure yet though.
Also, would definitely prefer Google Wear OS app with my OnePlus 10 Pro!

Question Camera Control

Hi Guys,
Please advise how can I use Samsung CameraCorol app on my Galaxy Watch 4, my mobile device Samsung Galaxy A 71, running Android 13 (OneUI 5) official. Non rooted.
So you don't have a camera app companion in the watch? I do and when I open the camera app in the watch, I can see what the phone's camera is looking at and control it.
Its this what you are looking for? I have the watch 4 and S22 ultra, both updated with last official versions, but this was available from the beginning in UI 4.1.

It is possible, but I didn't see the camera companion app in the list, because it's normally already installed

But it is not available in my watch. I have already installed latest update.
It loads on the watch4 if your phone supports it. More than likely your phone does not support the companion app.
