Hi guys,
I apologise in advance if this is a dappy question but I have been googling etc and cant find a definitive answer. Basically I have an S5. Im looking to buy a Galaxy Gear 1 (VM700) which I may upgrade at a later date but I feeel the original will be a good starter for me. My question is; is the watch compatible with the S5. Does anyone have 1 and can they confirm everything works. Even Samsung doesn't state if its possible.
I may pop down town later to get it but would rather have an answer to save me a wasted trip if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help, Much Appreciated

S5? Yes the at&t for example s5 is fully supported by the gear 1 watch. I use it every day myself for the past year.
I'm guessing the S6 *should* work - will post back an update if I find out.
Yes. I have this.
Yes, I have one and fully support Note 3 and S5.
Yes. S5 works with the Galaxy Gear 1 (tried myself).

I know many of you have been obsessively waiting for it, just like myself, so here it is: http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/25/atts-q1-2012-roadmap-samsung-galaxy-note-rugby-smart-and-att-fusion-launching-feb-18/
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
Richard
For Christmas I received a Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch..the only bad thing is I got rid of my S4 months ago and now have an LG G2 on ATT. Any possible way to use Galaxy Gear with my G2?
Yes...

Awesome! Thank you both! gonna try it tomorrow :fingers-crossed:
Hi i have been searching everywhere for this answer. Do you think the note edge will be compatible with the upcoming gear vr? I know it says only compatible with note 4 but the specs are identical and dimensions are similar... The only reason it mite not work that I can think of is if the gear vr uses the note 4 screen fully ie 100% then the edge part would be an issue.

The Note Edge will not work in Gear VR; period!

Sadly, works only with Note 4.
Resurrecting an old thread. Has anyone else tried?
From this review:
http://gizmodo.com/samsung-gear-vr-review-hell-yes-i-will-strap-this-phon-1670312012
"It's worth noting here that while Samsung has pointedly said that you're not supposed to try and fit the Galaxy Note Edge in here, you totally can. I mean, it doesn't "fit" in the conventional sense, but I've crammed it in a few times without breaking anything (yet). The problem is that the Note Edge doesn't launch the Oculus app when you plug it in. I'm sure there's probably some workaround but it probably involves black magic. Or at least root access."
Read this too when it first came out and was wondering the same thing, such a tease.
I just bought a Galaxy Gear at a really good price on eBay. Just needs a battery replacement (what a surprise for a watch this old, am I right?)
You got any tips for me? Are you running Android or Tizen? I appreciate it.
