If you have experience pairing an 'alert watch' (e.g Fossil MetaWatch, Sony LiveView, Sony Smartwatch, SE MBW-150, InPulse Watch, WIMM, MotoACTV etc) with a Galaxy Tab 7.7 then please chime in. I'm looking for a device with a wrist strap that can, at the very least, display incoming calls and text messages.
I didn't even know this was possible. Very cool if so.

for sure LiveView (version 1) is not working. Liveview application can't find any installed plugin. only thing that work is locate tablet. Also on each reconnect the bt pass must be accepted (via OK button, but annoying...). This issue can be solved via hack on rooted devices. But no plugins...
...and after few days of testing...is working...!!! the problem is that LiveView can't find a plugin if it's not enabled. To enable a plugin, in ADW launcher EX add a custom shortcut to Activities on desktop and the plugins can be enabled\configured. After resetting Liveview all the plugins are found and active!!!!
I can confirm that the metawatch works perfectly. I was able to test it with a friend's model and found no problems.

I'll have to find a liveview for cheap then.
There is a new watch on the horizon: Pebble. I'm guessing everyone here has heard about it by now given the records it has broken on Kickstarter.
The Sony watches are useless unless paired. They can't function on their own. I have the WIMM and it is stellar. The original liveview i bought was pure garbage.

I'm a backer for the Pebble - just got a project update this morning notifying backers that all Pebbles will now support BT 4.0!
One of the biggest draws of this product for me is the low power consumption - I don't need the watch display to be colorful if it means i'm running out of charge faster than my phone. I'm still interested in the WIMM and Sony, but I'm guessing I won't get as much use out of it if I'm forgetting to charge it/running out of battery all the time.
I've just bought a cadence sensor which supports ANT+ (http://www.btwin.com/en/cyclometers/3364-ant-speedrate-sensor.html), but I've no idea how to synchronise it with the phone (mango). I want to use it with endomondo app which should support such a connection.
Can somebody help?
I would like to buy a ANT+ stick (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/fitness-sensors/usb-ant-stick-/prod10997.html) to connect my cadence sensor with endomondo but before I do it I want to ensure myself that it will be working with my phone.
Do I have instal some apps to run it? Will it work on every ROM?
This page has good info on ANT Support on phones "thisisant.com/consumer/ant-101/ant-in-phones"
Has anyone figured out how to get the watch to recognize these as a HRM yet? on the pairing list it shows up as a SMART senor but only gets paired as a headphone... any help?

If you get it paired as headphone, you probably used the bluetooth menu in the global settings.
Use the accessories menu in the activity

Your right this is a common mistake that's made however I did try in the accessories menu and it still wants to pair as a headphone.
Do you have this setup? Have you had any success with this?
No I don't, just pointing out the "ususal mistake".
Probably the developers didn't think that there are devices out there that can have more then one device definition.
Did you email support ?
Any response from Amazfit support regarding your HRM earpiece ?
can you pair them to your phone? does it pairs as one or two devices ?
I bought me a heart monitor that has both Bluetooth and ant+. I searched and found that none of LG phones are officially supported but was suggested to download the ant+ tester to see if there is ant+ hardware. In the picture I uploaded it sure looks like everything is there for it to work.
When I reboot the phone and try to connect the monitor it shows both the Bluetooth and ant+ options available to connect. When you select ant+ it circle of deaths trying to connect. It will also cause the Bluetooth switch in the notification to flicker on and off and you can't turn it on untill a reboot.
My thinking is the hardware has to be there or it wouldn't read there being an ant+ device to connect to.
Has anyone messed with ant+ much?
Still can't find much info
