Is the watch an Android Fit device?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
From my understanding, yes. It has a pedometer to measure steps, and a heartrate sensor to measure your heart rate which is all Google Fit shareable.

This is correct. I got the the Gear Live at Google IO and can confirm it does have Fit.
Yes it does.

I've been using Runkeeper on my Gear Live for a few days now, works great.

I had a quick try of Runtastic and Runkeeper but I couldn't see a way to use the heart rate monitor while running. I had to connect my Polar H7 for that which seems a shame as would be great to just use the monitor on the watch.

Waiting for heart rate integration too during running and cycling. It's a shame it hasn't been integrated yet. What is the use of a on demand heart rate monitor. Kind of useless now.
not convinced on how useful it will be to be honest. the pedometer is showing me having had around 3000 steps for both yesterday and monday, each. I'm pretty sure i've not walked around that much since i'm working from home at the moment and have rarely left the house.
does it not pick up just any old movement of the arm and say that you are "walking"?

So, I have my Gear unlocked and all with Null_ (and have had for some time) but now that the coolness factor has worn off a little, I'm kind of wondering what exactly to do with it. I am on US AT&T so I don't have bluetooth tethering (and I'm not sure my plan would support it anyway) so I'm wondering what apps others have put on their Gear that do not require internet, are not games and are worth having?
I've got a disc golf scoring app and a few live backgrounds. Really the scoring app makes it all worth it, but what else is there? Thanks for the suggestions!
I installed a calculator, calendar and to do list.... None require the internet but make the watch much more functional.

Other apps i use is Office Suite v7 and view some word docs as notes and Focus Trainr
Digital clock disc widget works well for a simple clock.

I would love to know more! I am assuming this done with a rooted customer ROM? How exactly are you setup?
What I want is to run Endo on a watch. I don't mind tethering the GPS, as my phone will be in my FuelBelt. If the Gear can make that happen. I will get that!

Either way, phone or antenna. I just want a watch that will run Endo and use GPS. It seems the Gear just might do that. Seeing as how I have a Note 2, I will have to give the Gear a serious look.

I've lost my bt gps antenna somewhere in my house. If i will find it I could try it for you.
Is it still just run keeper and golfcaddie? This is a huge feature that should have support by everything from fitness apps and heart rate monitors to navigation and augmenting games.

I use Endomondo, but it does not yet support Pebble.
So when i go running, i first start Runkeeper without any notifications. Then start Endomondo with notifications.
Also works like a charm

Possibly doesn't help but like elot10 said, an app with notifications?
Notification Center can forward any notifications you get from any apps. If your favourite app can "alert" at thresholds perhaps that will do the trick?

Speak of the devil:
blog.endomondo.com/2014/07/01/endomondo-delivers-dedicated-pebble-app/
Endomondo can get my heart rate from my ANT+ HRM, and now it finally supports Pebble. Unfortunately, for now the Pebble integration is only for the IOS app so I can't use it, but hopefully the Android version will come soon ("later this year", according to the CEO).
Anyone else install SlingPlayer out of curiosity? It installs and works well w/ BT tethering. The one thing I cannot seem to change is the app auto-rotates the image 90 degrees, so you have to take the watch off to watch it. Is there an Xposed mod or another way of rotating the image back?

You can set orientation with app settings (xposed module).
Would have never guessed this works well? Which slingbox do you have? I'm very doubtful that the stream would be good enough via BT tethering?
I am also running slingbox..... It will take a minute to adjust to the speed but after that it works great! Only negative is battery..... but really That's a given!

Worked great. Thanks! And thanks for the great ROM also!
This surprisingly works really well. Is anybody else unable to change the channel using the keybpard though? The right column is practically gone, you can't use the "3, 8, and enter."
Is anyone able to post a picture of sling player running in their gear? I don't doubt that it works just want to see the scale of it. I think it is pretty freaking awesome to have TV on your watch.

Not a very clear picture, but this was one of the playoff games from this weekend.

Since it's a similar idea, I figure I would just add this to the Slingbox post. I also set up IP Camera Viewer with success on the Gear. Now I can view my home cams from my watch as well.

A camera should be a huge plus as well.

Dude your only options are the MotoACTV (discontinued) and the Adidas miCoach smartwatch.
Unfortunately the original gear, gear 2, gear fit, and gear neo require another device for gps to work. So they won't be able to map your runs. They will count your steps though. Rumor has it that the upcoming gear 3 can be a standalone device. We'll have to wait and see.
Hello,

I have runtatstic pro and I have installed it in samsung apps store.
when I go to open runtastic pro on Neo it opens splash screen and opens runtastic on phone but does not advance any farther.
I have contacted runtastic support and its pretty much a dead end.
Can anyone help on this or can confirm its working on the gear 2 neo?

Do you have runtastic or runtastic pro on your phone?
I've successfully logged runs with it in a g2 neo, doesn't use the inbuilt heart rate though so I had to use the in built running app in the background as well but you can start that and then switch to runtastic and it keeps track in the background

Not sure why it wouldn't work then, the only difference between your setup and mine is the phone. Maybe something to do with a non stock rom? But seems strange that it's only one app.
