Hey there, I purchased this phone a few months ago and since galaxy gear was launched I was wondering if I could use it as where I live it's common to see phones being stolen when somebody sees you are using the phone while driving. However according to what I found the galaxy great won't be compatible with my phone. So is there another smart watch compatible with our phone? thanks in advance

I don't see why Pebble wouldn't work:

as far as i know it could work with gear and even with sony smartwartches....
Actually my friend said the samsung gear would work on any samsung galaxy phones. But Samsung says its intended just for the Note 3.

Hi all,
Is anyone using a gear watch with a note one (n7000) and if you are have you found a custom rom that works with gear manager (so notifications are received on the watch)?
If not can someone point me in the right direction. Gear manager requires Android 4.3+ and touchwiz to work.
The reason I ask is I have a gear watch but I have lost my note 2 :crying: (no insurance) and cant afford to replace it just yet so I am using a note 1 until I can afford an upgrade to a note 3. I have searched this forum and the gear forum but cant see any mention of a note one and gear being used together.
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks

I just got a gear but for some reason i cant get it to work with my phone i have a galaxy S3 T999 T-mobile i don't have samsung app store so i can get a gear manager from there. I have tried different versions on here but they all seem to close on me when its about to sync with the watch is there anyway for the gear to work with my phone? p.s i'm running cm 11
You need a TW-based ROM.

Hi. I bought A smartwatch from Samsung. Its Gear S3 to use his apps I need to parr with my phone and download Samsung Gear S3 But on google play it says its not compatible with my device. I checked internet and nobody have the same issue. Any clues?
I'm looking to buy a new smart watch. I currently have a rooted Note 8, so I know Samsung Pay won't work on the phone. But if I purchase a Gear S3, and leave it unrooted, will Samsung Pay work on the watch?
I don't think Samsung Pay will work on your Gear S smartwatch as Samsung Pay needs to be linked to your cell first before it can be linked to your Gear S.

I have n stock Note 8 and stock Gear S3.
Both not rooted.
I have Samsung Pay installed on my Note 8,
working fine.
I had to install Samsung Pay app and then Samsung Pay app, updates to install the Samsung Pay framework.
Further
if you got a Gear S3,
it requires a Samsung Pay Gear "plug in" app (dependant) on
Samsung Pay Framework on the Note 8.
On top of that, your Gear S3 firmware must also be
updated for watch to work.
My issue is, that Samsung has not updated my Gear S3
firmware for my Region (CSC).
So my Gear S3 cannot do Samsung Pay.
Hi,
Today I bought the latest samsung smartwatch R800. Apparently this watch is not compatible with my galaxy tab S2 (T819). I called Samsung support but they couldn't help and told me I have to use a phone. Is there a way to make it work on this tab? If not it's going back to the shop because it's no use for me if can't link to the tablet. Strange Samsung even makes products that are not compatible with their own devices!

I'm wondering that too. It's been 2 years for you, and how did it go??? I'm switching to an old Tab S2 8.0 and my watch isn't connecting.
