Hi
I want to buy a Galaxy Gear Fit but unfortunately I see the only way to set an alarm on this watch is via Bluetooth with phone.
I have an S4 but I don't want to use the bluetooth over night in order to have the alarm in the morning because it drains battery and I don't want to get notifications on the watch , I just love the watch .
My question is : Is there any stand-alone apps or is there a way in order to set an alarm on Galaxy Gear Fit without the phone ?
Thanks !

Galaxy S4 is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 LE so actually it does not consume much battery, literally the power consumption is negligible

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.
Hello. First of all I'd like to say thay I had searched the threads as well as play store and google, and did not find any sufficient data on the matter.
I am running Ultima custom ROM on my Galaxy S3 i9300, I might have asked in the ROM thread section, but I am fairly sure this will not be ROM related, more like app related.
I recently bought a stand alone bluetooth keyboard slider case, that my SGS 3 fits in, but it forces me to keep bluetooth enabled all the time. Thus, my Sony Smartwatch that I use keeps connecting all the time via bluetooth as well. Now up to this point I used the bluetooth connection on the smart watch only when needed, for example while driving to switch songs (since the SGS 3 is docked as GPS, channeled by AUX to the car radio), which enabled me to preserve most of the watch battery power (charged it once a week, even less). Now, whenever I have the watch near the phone it will randomly connect on its own, or I make it connect by tapping it one time too many.
Now the question, is there an app somewhere that lets me filter my connected bluetooth devices, and let's say restrict the smart watch on my demand? Any info how to obtain selective bluetooth connectivity, I welcome.
please don't ask questions in this section
I feel like a moron, why didn't I post this in the Q&A -_-'' I'm sory...
Using the samsung S5 with gear fit and S-Healt, and starting a workout program from the app can not monitor the heart rate. you can have a change that would allow the use of the gear fit to monitor your heart rate by starting the workout from the app and not from the gear fit?
Also, starting a workout program from the gear fit with the vocal coach, gear only shows notifications on the display without speech feedback on the device, you can do some editing to get voice feedback on the device?
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys.
I wonder if Gear Fit smartwatch works fine with Endomondo app. I know the exercises are completely synchronized with the watch. But here is a question...
What about the pulse during the training? It can measure our pulse when we "press the button". But what about doing it automatically within our training?
Gear Fit in not good device for fitness activities. It's pretty inaccurate.
I use endomondo everyday and you need to have a bluetooth heart rate monitor if you wanted to capture your heart rate as well. then it works really well.
From my Galaxy Note 2
Endomondo have given the option on the Android Wear and Samsung Gear S to use the built in HRM. It is not an option on the Gear Fit yet. Hopefully the will add it.
Android Wear? How come i don't see heart rate when using Endomondo on Android Wear, while other programs are showing it?
Hi friends, does anyone know if Amazfit Bip tracks workouts (with GPS) without need to be connected to an smartphone?
I want to go jogging without carry my smartphone.

Yes !
GPS is quite precise. HR not bad if well attached.
But you won't have SMS and mails...
