I have been given the galaxy gear, my mate loves the note 3 but didn't want the watch,
I currently have the iPhone 5 and is the gear slightly compatible with it,
the gear is sealed so I don't want to open it, if its of no use,
I have a 5S coming in a weeks time should I be better of getting rid of it and getting a S4 or hold on and wait for the nexus as that will be running the latest version of android so will that be better off,
my last option is swapping the watch for a android watch which looks exactly the same as the omate truesmart, same specs apart from a 3mp camera and 2 screws on the sim slot,
mate bought it back from a trip to china where it cost $150
Would love to keep it but not sure about how it will work with the nexus once release, S4 being my 2nd choice but then thinking will that be a step backwards with buying a phone which has been out for a while now

Won't work with the iPhone. Will work with the Note 3, and S4 and other compatible samsung devices coming soon.
Best bet for the iPhone would be the Pebble, but even it has problems right now with iOS and staying connected to the phone.

I sold my pebble already,
So the gear will only work with samsung devices??
I thought devices with android 4.3 would be compatible,
Looks like I would need to buy a S4 then,
Bought most of the smartwatches now and the gear is the best looking one,

Yes for now until someone possibly hacks things, it only works with Samsung 4.3 phones.
I have a Pebble too and prefer the Gear by a wide margin (mostly due to looks and the SVoice capabilities and apps).

Nope, using the Note 3.
why dont you just get the note 3 or the s4 with snapdragon 800?
Mostly TouchWiz is needed, then 4.3
It will work as a Bluetooth headset with any device

I did see the I9506 / E330,
But don't see any uk sellers for that phone right now,
Note 3 is just too big for me
I have my gear 2 neo working with my phone for the most part. I was just wondering if there is anyway to install tizen apps so my watch can use them. I've come across quite a few good ones but since I don't have access to the samsung store, no joy.
Anyone know if this is possible yet and how?
Hello,
I would like to know if, at this stage, we have possibility to use anothers phones than Samsung in the Gear VR ?
For example, i have a One Plus 3T and i wonder if i could adapt the Gear VR ?
Thanks a lot
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.
Hello,
I am planning to get Gear S smartwatch (sm-r750) and I was wondering will it work with new Galaxy Wear app?
Somebody has this 2 beauties and can confirm?
Best regards to you all in this hard times
