Hello, I currently run with my Garmin (GPS) watch, a nano and no phone because the Note 3 is too big. I want to just run with one watch that will be able to track my results and sync to mgt phone when I get back to the car.
A camera should be a huge plus as well.
Thanks in advance.

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.

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.

Another good one is Fat Finger Calculator, fits the small screen very well.

I use the basic Google calendar. The month view works fine for me. The first time I set up my Rom and bluetooth tether it imported everything I needed. Plus the widget works on the Gears favorite apps menu.

Use Modern calculator as the developer as optimized it for our Samsung Gear
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 cant wait to see this list at Christmas time. Cant wait to get my gear

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!

in a similar boat as you as an att owner with an unlimited plan i don't wan to forfeit, so i only bluetooth tether to my phone when on wifi and mobile data is off. i run a tasker activity to turn off data anytime i enable bt tether. works great.

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.
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.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post that. Looks like I sold my gear a bit too soon. Probably would have kept it if I had come across this sooner. Oh well!

IP Camera Viewer
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.

I used it while at work to watch a playoff game! I was able to keep on working because my hands were free..... I would listen to the game and glance over at it when I heard the crowd or announcers speak up, Of course this is not practical for every job type!

Not going to happen unless you can figure out what parts of touchwiz are required, and then port it
(Or maybe sdk if it is ever released)

To be honest I can live without the voice and weather my calls and notifications work and a load of other stuff very happy that it's even working and that samsung deprived us of being able to use other devices with their gear watch.

I have a gear 1 and tmobile flex. i have gear manager 1.2 and tizen installed on the gear (XEO region). I cant get gear manager and phone to connect to each other. the gear is paired to the phone though.
Well after spending on this, I found out that I have to use the newest version of Gear Manager (1.7). Now, my main issue is the phone call automatically routes to the watch and not my LG HBS730 that is paired to my Flex. Also the Email app on the gear manager doesn't sync up with the email app from the phone.

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.
