Hi,
The tread is so other people don't make the same mistake and they don't have high expectations. I was able to connect Gear S to Sony Xperia (the usual: some features worked, some didn't). One of the main purposes of buying this watch was running outdoors. I think there is no way to use S Health with a non-Samsung phone. Nike+ works. However Nike+ was designed/coded by a complete idiot. I am extremely frustrated. There is a big white distance number. Other metrics (time, pace, time of day) are displayed with a small black scrolling font on a red background. The scroll is pretty fast. It is impossible for any normal human being to read those scrolling numbers, especially while running: they are too small, scroll too fast, the contrast is too little.
The design is as if they want to discourage people from using the app! Or maybe it was designed by someone who never run?! I am returning the watch!
BTW, you can find "revelations" on the Internet about reverting Gear S colors in order to use Nike+. Doing it breaks other watch functions and doesn't help much. Why would we have to go through so much hassle for the very basic feature: seeing running time in a running app?!?!?!?!

Why not use S health?

I believe the 9/17/15 S Health update added support for non-Samsung Android devices. It's available in Google Play.
And he didn't even complain about how inaccurate the GPS is. I shaved a minute of my mile time switching back to the Nike app on my phone.

simplest solution, install android on the watch and download any running app youd like, like endomodo or so, or download nike app for android ahahahha
Thanks for replying. I have returned the Gear S watch. Samsung did everything it could to discourage me from using it with non-samsung phones. No problem! Fortunately, there is something called: competition. I am thinking about buying LG Urbane 2 LTE. It will be available in a week or two. If not Urbane, the progress is fast and there will be more wireless/phone watches soon.

I'm also interested in the LG Urban 2 LTE but need to see more details first. I have absolutely zero interest in another Samsung phone. They are pure crap. My current phone, Galaxy Alpha, not even one year old can't get a decent reception anywhere. The only reason I haven't jump on Nexus 5X or 6P is because of my Gear S.

So you but a low end device and then complain about a low end experience? Try a note 4 or 5 or s5 or s6. All of them are impressive devices.

First of all, Galaxy Alpha is not a low end device. Don't confuse it with A3/5. Not the same thing. I have owned Galaxy S, S2, S3. All premium devices at their time. And they are all craps (original S has crappy, barely working GPS, a well known/documented problem, S2 is a so so device. S3 battery circuit craps out a few days past 1-year warranty). Have no interest in Note 4/5 or S 5/6. Handled them and they are not that impressive.
Why would you continue to buy samsung devices if all of them are "crap" as you put it? Do you always buy products you hate and then continue to do so as a form of self punishment?
It is none of your business what devices I buy. But I thought I need to speak flankly about Samsung products since I probably owned more Samsung products than most.

I'm patiently waiting for the c6806 but now that the galaxy note 3 is being announced and will be out early October , i might just jump ship and buy the note .Waiting for the LTE version is just painfully slow!
Build quality & the display is too small.
In the end the hardware pro's (ram, slightly higher clocking, cam) of the SGN3 are not compensating this for my requirements, as the performance of the XZU is still astonishing and i'm using my phone only for snapshots.
But your case is exactly showing the becalming situation Samsung has - people love to buy it anyway.
i almost bought the c6802 and live with the 3g connection but im pretty sure i'll be banging my head if the LTE version comes out,blaming myself that i should have waited .
LTE to me is the now technology and 3G is just not acceptable in my vocabulary .

100% agree with you in every aspects. I even if was waiting for the LTE version would never go for a Note 3. Those phone only can be compared on the performances. Size and build quality are really different.

Absolutely not.
I've seen the conferences yesterday, and both Sony and Samsung haven't entertained me.
I mean, Sony has great products but tends to lay them out without any heart at all.
On the other end, Samsung has no innovation at all, but from their point of view it seems they're presenting the Holy Grail to the public year after year.
I have an S3, which is a great device, but on the right and on the bottom the "metal" bezel cut itself for no reason at all. It is 1 year old. And I paid FULL PRICE for this. And by full I mean that it costed me almost as much as a 6833.
I don't want Samsung to fill me with bs telling me the SPen is excellent, that the battery is interchangeable, that this, that that. I already know all that.
And i don't give a damn anymore.
ZU is progression, SW2 too, hell even the SBH52 impressed me more than the N3.
I'm gonna get on board with Sony, and whenever I'll see a guy with his Note 3 I'll say "Hey man, nice phone, I hope you're happy with what you got", not feeling envious, not feeling sorry for not buying it.
Because in the end, what YOU feel with your phone matters, not that extra 0.1ghz or that 1gb of ram.
Let's face it, about 1 out of 1000 Note3 or S4 users will root or even use their device to the fullest. The rest of them will simply feel happy that they can update their Facebook status saying 'I have a Note 3! Sweet! ", until they're not happy again when their friends buy something more powerful/stylish/popular.
I prefer being a 1 percenter, with a device that makes me smile, than being a 99 one, with the regret that I could have bought something more.
But hey, that's just my 2 cents.

There are 2 face on that medal you know...
On one face, Samsung hasn't always been keen with developers, not releasing sources and all, BUT thousands of people buy those, and as a result a lot of developers choose the device they develop on based on popularity, and on the fact that developing there would be more of a challenge.
On the other face, Sony has always been open with the developer community, but their popularity has started to grow big not that long ago, so we might have on the ZU the same level of devs there are on the Z.
As a matter of fact, some of them already started (just take a look on the Android development section), and that is even before the LTE version launched.
Let's wait for UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Spain etc. all have this device on their shelves, I have big expectations.

well, after viewing the Note 3 "coming out" party yesterday, I decided I am not interested in it...
I had a note 1, and a Note 2, which was a major upgrade to the note 1.
Fantastic phone, and I was hoping the Note 3 would be a major "upgrade" as well; but, the only upgrades, CPU speed, 3 gigs of Ram, and 13 MP camera isnt going to make the experience on the Note 3 that much better than the note 2.
I've been watching the Xperia Z Ultra since it came out, and, it looks like a fantastic phone; I am a big guy, so the size doesnt scare me, but I am waiting to see which US carriers will be carrying it.
I have owned at least 50 cell phones in my life, but mysteriously, NONE of them have been Sony phones, but I think this will change in the next 30 days.
It doesnt seem like there is alot of development on this phone yet, but, since many note 2 owners feel similiar to me, I am certain that there will be a large groupl that will move to this phone, once some US carriers are announced.
The quality of this phone seems fantastic; not sure if no flash for the camera will affect picture quality, and, hopefully, easy root/bootloader unlocking is just around the corner, since the sound from that tiny speaker appears to be lousy as well, but nothing that ViperMod or a different kernel wont fix!
The main problem SGN2 had and SGN3 as per first hands on, pics and vids also seems to have is, that - even if it is already to small for me as an Note 2 user - they're not making proper use of the screen size with view to UI on stock ROM.
In the end the Note 2 was and is just a sized up Galaxy.
And 2nd market (custom roms) is not a criterion on this topic for me, because if i have to customize the the product from day 1 to meet my needs, then there's something wrong and i'll better wait for the right deal.

Another user on another forum posted that maybe a real change will be seen when all S3s end their contract.
That's true for the S4 (they sold a lot less than what they were expecting), I was expecting it and I didn't fall for that.
That's true for the N3 too, as is a specced up S4 with SPen functions.
It will sell regardless of all this thoughts, but I could bet 1 out of 5 previous N2 owners will buy this N3, and the other 4 will scout around for a better choice or wait for the N4.
That's what I was planning to do skipping the iPhone 4 for the 5 (having the 3G), but Samsung stunned me with the S3 and I jumped ship.
I waited for a big change from the S3 to the S4, but I was ready to wait for the N3 this time.
Sony stunned me since they presented the ZU, I fell in love and that's it.
The only thing that would make me love even more this device would be having a stock-Google Play Edition.
That would be AWESOME.
Last but not least for the fact that we won't need implementation for the SPen, because the screen accept pens and pencils on its own...

Pretty much agree with most posts. I've had the Note & Note 2 (using HTC One now) & the Note 3 doesn't do it for me. I really hate Touchwiz. Everything about it annoys me so I've run custom roms on all my Samsung phones. I don't use the s pen at all either so it just sits there.
I like the direction Sony are heading. I would prefer a smaller bezel but I really like the waterproof design & the minimal additions to Android.
I really don't see why Samsung are the Android leaders...

They could sell a smart ring for your toe advertising it as the next companion for the summer for getting rid of fungus because it has a 5mpx camera that scans the pavement before you set your foot on it.

Have not used the Sony 2 but no calling capability or camera so I do not think it even comes close and the gear is only just out so hopefully lots more to come.
I read that even Samsung executive's aint as happy with the gear as hoped because it limited in ways thats too late to change, but they are going to make a 2014 edition or V2 which is already designed, so for the cost of the gear I'd wait at least until January and see what happens.

Hey don't shoot the messenger dude, like I said its what I read, and it was on Engadget's blog and I trust their tech news,

Let me guess read it on the internet? I keep finding most people never had a smart watch to compare to. I have been wearing a moto Activ for the last year and this is a great up grade of that smart watch. There is no "smart watch" without a phone, all of them are dependent on a phone for updates.
Notifications work really well able to read most of my emails and decide if I want to read the rest. This works best at work and home as the phone can now sit across the room on a charger. The problems come from the gmail app which I don't use. I have several email address and like to check them in one place.
Speaker phone works really well, was quite surprised but the phone allows for the Bluetooth headset and watch to be connected at the same time. If I answer on headset audio goes there, if i answer on watch audio goes there.
You can install more than 10 apps but can only have 10 apps on quick launcher. There are apps released that allow you to create your own watch faces and details, another one looks at the local pictures from the phone on the watch. I would also guess that it will be streaming video from the phone to the watch shortly.
Photo quality is really pretty good if lighting is ok.
Almost forgot battery life is about 2 days and fully charges in about an hour. The moto started out lasting only a day and via firmware updates got it to 2-3 days about the same time as the Galaxy Gear.
Finally, I don't expect an iwatch to support other vendors. When I bought the moto activ it didn't support any other phones but motorola's. You had to run a special app or the watch was stand-alone, if the app crashed (did often) it was standalone. The Gear and Galaxy just work together much better than the combination of vendors. The gear will support other Samsung phones later this month. If I was Samsung I wouldn't support every android phone, if you want a Gear get a Galaxy!

Well i don't agree battery life on smart phones can be very poor yes of course i would like my phone to last a week (charge on Sunday night) and a smart watch to last a month but technology is just not able to do that we except that with phones and I think if we want the benefits of a s watch some of us will except that about them as well,don't wait for gear 2 or I-watch battery technology is just not able to give us longer Without Taking Out Features

I do totally agree with you, but the waiting aspect which I pointed to was for the case of what maybe announced in the next 8 weeks, and if nothing then I buy one myself but as I said the gear isn't cheap so if a new version is only 2-3 months away then I'd rather wait for the latest.

So I was eligable for an upgrade and deviated from my normal choice of an HTC phone and went with a samsung phone. I have to say so far I am loving this phone, it is a major step up from the HTC Rezound I had before it. The battery life is amazing compared to my Rezound, and that surprises me seeing as how this is a much more powerhouse of a phone. I wanted to get the Gear watch with the phone but was reluctant to get it because of the high price tag for it. The only thing I don't see myself using much is the S-Pen and that is my only real complaint with the phone if you would even call it that. What was everyone elses' phone before the Note 3?

Lol, I've seen a lot of chatter about the S7 and S7 Edge on this board lately and now this. I get the feeling a lot of people are scrambling to justify their ownership of the 6P now that the latest and greatest have been announced.
I get it, I've been there. My best advice is to enjoy your 6P if it's the phone that really fits your needs and you are genuinely happy with it. However, if you are posting about other phones, there is already something deep down inside you that is intrigued in a new phone. Trust me, I know. I get that feeling much too often, hence me being a phone junkie.
The 6P is a good stock Android phone, but there are new big boys on the block now. Just the way this industry works.

I couldn't get rid of My Note 5 fast enough...the software is terrible. It lagged all over the place and TouchWiz, though better than it used to be, is still not very "pretty".
My fiancee still has her Note 5, but wishes she would have gotten the Nexus 6P whenever she uses my phone. She's always complaining to me how her phone constantly freezes up, and random reboots here and there. The RAM management is horrible on the Note 5.

Who says Samsung and LG are the only manufacturers? There seems to be solid offerings from companies like Alcatel and Xiaomi coming too. And HTC.
As to your other points, they are fair enough. Samsung and other heavy handed skins definitely aren't for everyone. And I whole heartedly agree that the ram management on the S6 and Note 5 was straight trash.
So in the end, it's definitely different strokes for different folks.

I read it in some Android news site like the Android Police or the Android Authority I forget where but it's reported to be also a standalone DAC with type-C and 3.5m jack but not sure about bluetooth. Other DAC can be found in Amazon from around $20.00 and up. The V10 has a built in DAC that's supposed to be awesome hopefully the G5 DAC from B&O should be pretty good. Yeah, this set up with Viper! :good::good::good:
I look and look for a connected watch that works well with our 6T, are you able to help me make the right decision?
I bought the Galaxy Watch Active and it pairs nicely with the OnePlus6T. I was able to receive all notifications. It's super light weight and I even wear it to bed. However, it uses tizen 4.0 with one UI and it's only $200.
I'm using the Galaxy S3 Frontier, which pretty routinely goes on sale. Right now it's on sale for $230 pretty much everywhere. It will do pretty much everything a phone will, even has built in GPS for stand alone GPS if you want. Note the Frontier has the GPS the regular newer Galaxy model does not.

I second the gear s3 has been working with the 6T since I got it. Nice looking watch that performs great. I got mine from swappa for 90 dollars.

Yes. I have the Samsung Gear S3 frontier and it works great. I am sure any Samsung watch will work.
I use the Withings steel hr sport (ex. Nokia)
It works really well with my OnePlus , but I think all watches work with OnePlus , the exception is of course Apple watch.
Yes Galaxy Watch work perfectly with OP6T.
It depends on how smart you want, Garmin Fenix 5x play very well with 6T too.
Nothing have Ticwatch from Mobvoi
I have been using the Garmin Vivo 3 for some time and battery life is hard to beat. My only complaint is the screen can be difficult to see at times.
Currently using an LG Watch Sport.
I have an LG Urbane 2 that works great, but I need to buy a new band.
Previously was a huge fan of Wear OS (Android Wear) but my Zenwatch 3 had gotten so slow. I upgraded to the Galaxy watch 46mm. This watch is so snappy and Samsung has allowed it to be used with more than just Samsung phones.
As a side note, I got Samsung Pay working with my rooted 6T. I can send anyone the instructions if they need.
I'm using the Galaxy Watch Active and I absolutely loving it. Works perfectly.
I do feel that there is a bad impact on the 6T's battery life - it is definitely gone worse since I got the watch, connected all day via bluetooth.

Please give me news of your Feedback on the Ticwatch Pro, I look at it from a nasty end, she looks awesome.
I'm using a Fossil Sport and it's not working consistently. I don't know if the ram management is too agressive, but sometimes google assistant stops working and it only works again randomly or if I reboot the phone. I've seen many people complaining about it.
I'm using the Galaxy S3 Frontier and Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro. Both work great with the OP6T.
I was wondering why features you guys use on your smart watches. Step tracker, reminder, call/text alert, email, anything else?
Thanks
