I couldn't find a decent one, so I made my own out of paracord.

Why don't Samsung sell official straps?

Does anyone know? I have snapped two official straps due to the connection of the strap to the Gear Fit (a design flaw IMHO). Trying to get one off Samsung is like getting blood out of a stone. I can't think of a reason why they don't sell them ?
I'm happy with my 3rd Fit2 band.
Nice metal band and one milanese magnetic loop.

Thanks, how long have you used them for? The problem is I have gone down the cheap Amazon /eBay strap route and they only last a couple of months (if that) because the connector to the Gear Fit usually breaks. This is because third party strap makers don't make the connectors properly (unlike Samsung). I just can't understand why Samsung don't sell them because there must to loads of owners with the same issue as me.
I regurlarly change band and also watch/tracker so no real known usage time.

Hi, does anyone have used a arm band that fits lumia 920??? any suggestion I am looking for one but I am not sure the ones sold on ebay will work So I would like to check you experience? where did you buy it, price, etc.
i used to have a galaxy nexus phone, and had a arm band for that. The lumia still fits in this, pretty tight but still works good!

Thanks, I will review and check one for nexus since I have not seen any specific for lumia.
Funny that you ask, I asked the same question few days ago. I finally decided on this one and I like it, fits the Lumia 920 perfectly.

ok, thanks, I saw that one on Amazon, shocksock but did not have good reviews, I might buy it.
I can't say anything negative about it except the fact that it's a little bit hard to get the Lumia out of it when having it attached to your arm (pressure most likely).

Does it also fit if you have a bigger arm? Last Arm _Band i had for my phone i had to extend the band manually, coz it was too short/my arm too big...
I also saw this one @Amazon: http://www.amazon.de/Bingsale®-Orig...erarmtasche/dp/B00ABUOSF2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_1

Hi, not sure that it will fit if you have big arms, I do not have big arms and I had to use it in the hole that is supposed to be for big arms so there might be the risk that it does not fit. I would say that it is not expensive so you can maybe try it.

It depends on how big of an arm you have. I got spinky arms and when having 2 tshirts and 2 jumpers on me the band is just long enough to go around so it can "attach" on the cardbord. Probably easy to extend somehow tho.
Cant find an arm band big enough for my arm
Hey guys i'm having troubles finding an arm band that fits the Lumia 920 and fits my arm at the same time. My bicep is at its widest point is 44cm and when i go to the gym it does swell more. has anyone found an armband bigger than that size?
I am switching form note 3 to z ultra. But I have only one problem. I would like to keep my galaxy gear.
So is anyone find way how to conect gear and zu? I look every way but I didn't find any information. So guy's you are my last chance.
No way to connect those devices. The Galaxy Gear is a very specific gadget made to work only on a Samsung environment. Furthermore, it just work with the Note 3 and S4 at the moment, until Samsung figures it out and makes S3, and Note 2 compatible.

I've got my ultra since it came out and I wish to have the g. Gears too but no one has ever make the gear to work with any other phone besides samsung devises. I don't know but some one needs to work on this.
The gear drivers are Samsung owned and they don't release them to devs or the community, and on the first gen at least, I very much doubt they will. This is one further step closer to their proprietary ecosystem they've been planning for so long. They need to be baked into the rom, hence why there's a rom update to the phone when they make it compatible.
Sorry dude, unless your on a new high end Samsung device the gear is useless.

Needs touchwiz framework.. Someone may hack it like they did with other touchwiz framework apps (like they did with svoice) but doubt it will be for niche device like zu.

It is unfortunate that Samsung would do that. I like the watch and I think that they could sale more watches if it was compatible with any bluetooth phones with the gears app. Shame on you samsung.........

Yeah I'm sure that all the g.Gear requries is a touchWiz base... I'll ask if Zoosh is keen to port touchwiz for the Ultra... as he ported the Sony base for the Galaxy Note...
However... its touchWiz, and I for one am happy I've moved on... anyway... i'll ask. He may have a spare few months! LOL
Let's hope someone manages to reverse engineer the drivers/framework and bundles it up as an Xposed module. That would be the best IMO.

You can root the Galaxy Gear and use it with the ZU, that's what I've done. You won't have the same native app support but there are many third party apps that provide similar functionality. If you share your internet connection via bluetooth you can just setup your email accounts and weather app on the Gear and Tablet Talk gives SMS notification/reply. It will still work as a bluetooth headset without any additional apps.
even better try this

How is it better for him to buy something else that has basically the same specs and the exact same capability as the device he already owns?
Pretty sure when I was browsing the HTC one forums someone managed to get some galaxy gear functions working with HTC one

Cheaper and not device specific?
In any case I do have the ZGPAX with my Ultra and it is sweet and powerful but guess this is OT.

But he already has the Gear, so the cost is $0. And once it has been rooted the Gear works with every device just like the ZGPAX.
Does not negate the fact that it is cheaper. Sell the Gear, the the ZGPAX and have a nice chunk of $$$ left.
In any case, I think he just wants his Gear to work so this is not really on topic I guess.
Nothing comes close to Gear Watch..
I have owned Zpax, U Watch, Gear Neo, Gear 2, LG G Watch R, Asus Zen Watch (current). Nothing ccomes close to Gear 2. Don't trust the other sellers pointing you to non branded crap like Zpax or Azz watches. I tried them all and I settled on Asus even though I like gear 2 it doesn't work on my Z ultra. I used to get so many compliments when I had that watch. My two cents and my opinion, no need to bash or critic. Take it or leave it. Thank you.

Just bought it there on sale 3 days ago on sale for 149.99. Went back today and got the price match. Regards price now lowered to 149.99. Now I'm wondering if a newer model is forthcoming. Paid the 19.99 for their 2 year warranty. If a better model comes out mine will quit working

Hi,
I like it a lot too at least for the hardware and reasonable battery life...but hate all the interface to the phone and the useless sync that I don't understand anyway.
I don't understand the separation with s health and Fitness with gear. Pedometer is not sync and other sync info are bad / useless imo
I have the S4 and would hope it is better on the S5. Or maybe I don't understand it or miss configured it?
can people with s4 really sync Pedometer with fitness with gear? Read here and there people have problem but found no solution.
It is to bad there is no coaching for walking or at least allow to configure it i.e. 4 km in 40min with notification to increase pace to make it on time..
so yes nice hardware, it is a pity due to bad software... Hope there be improvement but I feel somehow this will not happen...
cheers

I had S4 + Gear Fit and sync was working very well. But you have to be on stock and KNOX can't be removed or freeze. You can have root, but do not mess up with other thing, because sync will not work.
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

Screen sensitivity is poor (on mine) waiting to hear from mine about returning it tbh.
Like the form factor. Coming from note 20 ultra it's not as slick. Not sure on whether to keep or go back to note.
My Duo 2 all okay. Frustrating no good cases yet. Need ability to lay it flat for note taking. Perhaps the Duo Surface Pen case will have a suitable lip all round?
