[Q] Galaxy Gear and Note 3 - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am considering getting a Galaxy Gear for $99 from Canada. Are there any major glitches, bugs, or shortcomings with the device? Can you root the watch so I can use sdk related software with the upcoming Android Watches? Can you use any apps on the Gear? Is it sturdy at all? Thank you.

Root is available for the device.

Does the S pen work on Gear watch like on Note 3?

Questions before buying;
Does the S pen work on the gear watch for the dialer or going through menus and screens like in the Note 3?

It doesn't. Maybe will work an spend from galaxy S3/S4 but not from note series.

Why the Samsung is ......... with us?

I own S4, Note 3 and S4 mini duos ( i9192) and guess what....after an update from 4.2.2. to 4.2.2 ....OMG...my mini got the compatibility with gear....So nice Samsung...why don't you say something like that 3 mounts ago? Why didn't you made S3 and Note 2 and S4 active and S4 mini compatible from the launch day of gear? So many stupid marketing mistakes! Just to force us to get the knox? Stupid stupid stupid

Dont look like they are running tinzen os then?
Evleaks is now saying that these watches are not Galaxy branded. So it seems Samsung is presumably just going to run with the Gear branding.
This is from gsmarena.com
Yep, these are probably the Gear 2 and Gear Neo... later will probably be the Gear Fit. I'm glad it doesn't look too different from my Gear watch... as I'm not ready to shell out more loot yet.
Digging the physical home button and new camera placement though.
Skype, anyone?

I am hoping that I can get a Gear Fit with it still having all the Gear 2 features like the camera.
I need to start saving now to buy this. Got to have it for my Note!
I saw a report saying they are indeed running tizen os.

Tizen on the new gear is a dead nogo imediately for me that is, I can imagine no apps for this thing and since tizen dont have an app store tell me how will we sideload apps from google play to it? The whole point was to make it slimmer and better. It looks the same. Looks thick like the gear and now its running tizen? Hell nah. Ill have to test it out and look more into it for me to buy it. Considering tizen is the os. I think I'll stick with my gear

Note 2 + Gear S?

friends, i am using Note 2 and saw the Gear S watch, i am interested in buying it, so can anyone tell me if its fully cmpatible with note 2 or not.
and if it can work with note 2 then what features i will miss with it
Thanks
I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have the gear neo and it pairs up with my note 2 just fine. You could try it and see. If all else fails just make sure you have your receipt and take it back. Good luck.
