I've only tried it with my old rooted note 5 and old Gear VR that they shipped in April and it wouldn't work because of root.

I have absolutely no idea. I would say some devs are probably looking into it but I don't believe it will be anytime soon. But the good news is I believe there is an awesome Tizen update on its way, not sure neither but that's my guess (that they will port Gear S Tizen to other Gears).
Hope that helps.

Galaxy Gear 1

Does anyone know if the Gear 1 works with our Note 4?
Been looking around and it seems it doesn't, but wanted to double check.
I can but one from a friend for $80 right now, but it doesn't do me any good if I can't link the two.
Thanks
Working perfectly here, Bluetooth tethering from my note 4. Running Null 23.

Huh? Can you explain that lol. What's Null 23?
Oh ok, nvm. So your gear is rooted...
And null 23 is the rom. So stock I can't, but rooted I can correct?
Null 23 here too. Works great. Never tried with the stock ROM, sorry. Might ask in the Gear forum too.
Running my Gear 1 (with Tizen) with my Note 4 (stock ROM unrooted). I got my Gear 1 after I had my Note 4. The Gear 1 stock ROM was Android and would not pair with my Note 4. After flashing Tizen, I've had a flawless experience.
My recommendation: if you are willing to flash the Gear 1 with Samsung's Tizen ROM, definitely go for it.
Working perfectly for me and my gear 1 isn't rooted.

So it's working stock for you?
I had null rom 23 on mine and even with stock rom the auto unlock feature doesn't work. So I upgraded to tizen and now everything is working. Also battery last longer on tizen.
Totally stock on both, works fine for me. I never did the Tizen upgrade though but it shouldn't make a difference.

Yes it was working stock. I rooted my note 4 and works as well. No problems here. You can see my watch paired.
I have both, stock, and they connect fine...
Kinda sorta unsatisfied with some of the options, though. The lack of app variety (paid and otherwise, there are a metric ton of clock faces and, apparantly, not much else that I could work with), is leaning me heavily towards Android Wear at the moment. (Especially considering Tockle, which can interact with Tasker, doesn't seem to have an equivalent on the Gear's ecosystem. With the Gear, I'd likely have to use LaunchGear or Wearable Widgets for a similar effect.)
Still doing research on that, though.

I screwed up. I bought the Gear 2 Neo & thought it would work with Nexus 5 Lollipop

There is no option to return it because I bought it from another country.
Do I have any recourse or way to use the device? Even with limited functionality?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Are there are foreseeable plans of a Samsung update to allow pairing with Nexus 5 Lollipop?
Thank you.

I tried 1.2 but it didn't seem to connect to the Neo. BT connected, but the manager timed out.

Wait for Gear Manager Lollipop edition. Starting this month, it will come to S5, so automaticaly will update Gear Manager. Be patient, it will work soon. Worth a try...

How likely is it? Is using Gear Manager a compromise compared to Android Wear?
Would it be better to just sell the watch and get one that is more compatible?

I tried it on a very early alpha version of lollipop on my Samsung device and it worked. But I hate to burst your bubble, it will be at least another couple of months until it is stable and more generally available. It relies heavy on gear manager which relies on the touchwiz environment. Why, for Pete's sake, this route was chosen is maybe one of Samsung's downfalls. Within two years they will be out of the market if they keep going with their business model, this consumer market does not care, but like you, will remember. Examples of such electronic giants reduced to rubble? Nokia, Nortel, Blackberry
Consumers want stuff to work, simple without all these prerequisites that are in fine print.
Tbh you are best of selling or donate it to a family member with a Samsung phone that has to be running Jellybean 4.3 or KitKat. Preferably a galaxy phone so S4, Note3, ß5 or Note4. Others.... Will not work without breaking their OS
Sad but true
Anyone tried Gear 2 Neo to see if it works with the newly pushed Android 5.0.1 on i9500 and i9506?
I'm curious if it will work from day 1 on i9505 when 5.0.1 will be pushed to these devices.
Thanks!
I have i9506, nordic edition and gear 2 neo, and they work together. Even better than on Kitkat, as s health was not receiving the Gear data for pedometer and such.
Now even that works. My s4 on the otherhand is laggy as hell with 5.0.1 , but that is not the issue here
I've installed i9505 5.0.1 and Samsung Gear doesn't work anymore. When started, it blinks a 1-2 times and crashes silently. I cannot connect to the watch with anything else (Android Wear for ex.) either.
Any ideas?
Later edit: I enabled bluetooth debug in Android Wear and tried several more times to connect through S-Gear and now it seems it connected and is trying to install additional software... hope it works out.
Haha, phone did a factory reset on the watch and now I'm trying again to connect to it .
Later edit: after managing to soft brick my phone, I reinstalled the 5.0.1 and this time, amazingly enough, Samsung Gear worked as it was supposed to so my watch is back to normal functions again.

Hello,
I tried every possible thing I found on the internet. Even went to change the name of the phone and model in /system files, without any success. I did manage, after downgrading to 4.4.4 to connect to the gear 2 neo, but I couldn't use any of it's features except answering the phone via the watch. I'm thinking maybe I can change the ROM of the watch to tizen and then make a connection with android wear. I searched but didn't find anyone who did this on gear 2 neo. Theoretically, it should work. I will post if I manage to do something.
Cheers,
Alex

Answering calls work with Lollipop too,just pair watch in Bluetooth settings. Second... You should install Android rom on watch,not Tizen. There is also Android Wear mod possibility... Roms for Gear 2 should also work on Neo (except camera)

Gear Manager finally doesn't require Touchwiz!!!

Hi all,
Samsung have finally released a version of Gear Manager that doesn't require Touchwiz to be installed.
Version is 2.2.15100741N is out and even shows up on the Google Play Store. Installs fine on a Nexus 6 with 6.0 and a Oneplus One running 5.1.1
At the moment it only works with the Gear S2, but i wonder if Samsung will release a version compatible with our watch??
If not, do you think this version could be modified to work with our old watch???
Not showing on my google play.

The same here, Galaxy Gear 1
I see it on my play store but that's for the new S2 watch. I would update to it to see if it works with my Gear 1 but it was already a pain in the ass getting it to work correctly with my LG G3, and I don't wanna screw it up lol
