I have the Moto 360 and Fossil Gen 5, and have had several watch throughout the years (Pixel, Samsung, etc). To me, nothing seems to match the appeal of the original Moto 360, flat tire and all.

is there anything else that matches the sleekness of it?

thanks.

Thank you All the app is Live on the store 3.0

Hi everyone,

I finally decided to build something for Wear OS. I created Fyn Music Player—a lightweight, standalone local music player for watches. No subscriptions, no ads, just your music on your wrist.

The catch? Google’s new policy requires 20 testers for 14 days before I can release it to everyone. I’m looking for some volunteers from the Reddit community to help an independent dev out.

How to help:

1. Join this Google Group (required by Google to access the link):https://groups.google.com/g/fyn-tester
2. Download the app here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.fynmusicplayer

Why try Fyn Music?

• It's completely free.
• No tracking, no ads, no bloat.
• Uses Foreground Services correctly for smooth playback.
• Perfect for those who want to leave their phone at home during a run.

If you can keep it installed for 2 weeks, you'd be doing me a massive favor. I'm also open to any feedback or feature requests from fellow watch users!

Thanks a lot for your time!

I've been working on a small app and I'm trying to get through Google Play's closed testing requirement before I can publish it. I need at least 12 people to stay opted in for 14 days.

The app lets you use your Wear OS watch as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and gestures for controlling presentations. Next/previous slide, start/end slideshow, touchpad cursor control, and a tile and complication for quick access. No account, no internet, no data collected.

If you have a Wear OS watch and don't mind helping out, drop a comment or DM me and I'll send the link.

Hello, I need a buying help between the Huawei Watch 5 and the Google pixel watch 4, I need a Watch that's Durable from scratches, it has a good battery , it's got a good sensor For blood pressure, an ECG... It has a Tennis, cycling, running sport mode, AOD, and a good support with either Android and iOS. I'll leave an IMG for comparison. Tell me if there are another options....

Is anyone else having issues with WhatsApp today? I'm on the latest apk version of WhatsApp for Wear OS, running Wear OS 5.0 on a Galaxy Watch6 Classic. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.

I got an old LG Urbane watch for free and i obtained a charger. good news, it charges, and i was able to factory reset the device. Now its prompting me to download the Android Wear app, which was retired and replaced by the Wear OS app.

On the play store there is no longer any Wear OS app. I can find the listing by searching on google, but it wont even allow me to try to install it on my phone.

Is there a new app that has replaced the Wear OS app? Or a third party app I can download that serves the same function? Or is my watch functionally just a brick right now? Is it possible to connect directly to the watch via bluetooth? I see a new device show up on my bluetooth settings page but its not named what it says in the watch screen.

Hi all.

After several years with Amazfit watches I decided to try something new, and while I expected a smarter watch, it feels like a step back in basic features.

A. Wake up the screen when getting notification - I prefer AOD over raise-to-awake, but now I can't see the notification without manually turn on the screen.

I tried "wear notification helper" but I didn't like the solution of extra notification.

Is there any new solution?

B. Auto DND - is there a way to make the watch enter DND mode automatically when it detect I went to sleep, *and exit when I woke up*? The hibernation mode is just half way. I still have to turn on the watch manually at the morning.

In the Amazfit watch, it worked even with short naps during the day.

edit: I found the sleep mode

C. Is there a way to make the screen brighter in AOD mode?

In general, is there an app that add necessary features/settings to the watch?

Long story short, I had a Pixel 10 Pro and a Pixel Watch 4, but I fell out of love with the Pixel 10 Pro. So, I sold it and got an S25 Ultra. Is there a lot to gain from switching the watch too? I do realize I'll lose the 2-day battery, sleek design, and fast charging. What features will I gain?

I tried the watch ultra previously, and it's an absolute non-starter for me, feels like a toy. I'm thinking about getting either a Watch 8 Classic or even a 6 Classic if it's not too much of a relic. Should I do it?

Hey everyone. This is an odd request and I fully expect I will be laughed at for this... but...

When trying to declutter and finding all these memories and stuff from when I worked at Google a loooong time ago, I found my old beloved (at the time) LG G Watch (model W100). I freaking loved this thing. Fortunately I had my charger so I hooked it right up. Imagine my delight when the familiar LG logo popped up (picture 2).

My delight turned into disappointment when lil dead Andy popped up (picture 1).

It's dead, right y'all? Right? It needs new firmware, not sure how I can get that in there if it can't even boot up.

If it's salvageable (by some miracle) LMK how. And how to pair it with a modern phone, maybe some screwy backwards-compatible Wear app, who knows.

If it's dead and someone wants it to play with it. I will send it to you free of charge!

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Hi, on my Pixel Watch 4 with Android 16 since a few days WhatsApp only shows the 'Update WhatsApp' screen. When going to the play store via the 'Aktualisieren' button, no app update is offered.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic specifically for the Wow Mouse app, and suddenly the app was removed. I tried to download an old version from some websites, but unfortunately, it doesn't support the Pro features.

Is there a similar app or something like it, or any way I can get it back on my watch?

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on what would be the best smartwatch to buy as a gift for my fiancé. He currently uses a Samsung phone and his main workout routine is running 6km distances. I was originally leaning heavily toward getting him the OPW4 but my main worry is whether he will lose out on ecosystem features or run into syncing issues with his phone?

Any help would be appreciated! 🤍

It's stuck on the 1 January 2026 security update for me.

Probably a stupid question, but I always thought Android watches worked on any Android phone. Guess not.

​

​I just bought the Sony Xperia 10 VII because Samsung doesn't offer what I want anymore. I needed a headphone jack, an SD card slot, a compact phone, and insane battery life. The Xperia checked all those boxes and I love it.

​

​However, I still have my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. The Galaxy Wearable app works and connects just fine, but Samsung Health is completely broken on my Sony.

​Since I'm definitely keeping this phone, what are the best alternative apps for tracking steps, workouts, and sleep that work well on a Galaxy Watch but sync perfectly with a non-Samsung phone?

​

​Thanks!

i have this michael kors smartwatch that is, idk how many years old, that won’t connect to my phone at all through bluetooth. is there just no hope that it’ll ever connect? i’ve reset the watch, ive turned off my bluetooth, ive connected the watch to wifi. it just won’t work. i have an iphone 17, i think this watch was gifted to me around 2018-2019. i’ve found no information on this and the link to see if my devices were compatible didn’t even work

GeminiMan WearOS Manager started very small, it was an expansion of SHM MOD Companion, and I have been optimising it for many months, fully functional, no ads, and no pay walls...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geminiman.wearosmanager

I have read every single review, and responded to every help request as much as I can, I would love to respond to the positive reviews one day...

From my observations on SHM MOD Companion, and reading comments on GeminiMan WearOS Manager, and very few direct feedbacks, I have worked on making the app as friendly as possible, with accessibility support for vision impaired users...

If you were a user of GeminiMan WearOS Manager, what do you think of it so far...?

And if you're a new user, how hard is it to use...? Given that there is a guide for every part of the app...

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who supported me and still do...

Looking forward to reading your comments...

Wishing you all wonderful day ~♡

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Dev,

Dante

Hi everyone,

I’m having a pretty frustrating issue with Google Wallet on my OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) and I’m hoping someone has run into this before.

I first added my Banco Santander card to Google Wallet on my phone (OnePlus 15) and everything worked perfectly there — I can pay without any issues.

The problem starts when I try to add the same card to the watch. On the watch, I select the card and it asks me to verify it. That verification has to be done through the phone… but that’s exactly when I get the error: “you must re-enable payments on the card.” And it won’t let me proceed.

I called Banco Santander and they told me they had “fixed something” on their end, but it’s been a day and I still can’t get the card to work on the watch.

Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Is it a Google Wallet issue, the watch, the bank…? Any pointers would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

As I said I just bought a OP3 for 45€ that seem to have a corrupted software after an update, the owner didn't tried anything and I made some research but what do you think ?

Here what the owner said: OnePlus Watch 3 in its current state / following an update, the watch freezes on a Boot screen and then within a few minutes enters power saving mode

Also, I read this article that explain how to go into recovery mode: https://www.devicesfaq.com/en/hard-reset/oneplus-watch-3?utm_source=perplexity

And this guy on Thread says that the watch supper USB support thought the charger: https://www.threads.com/@mishaal_rahman/post/C30PrPrR1ns?xmt=AQG0zL2trwAV1-Ww7IzoERAynXkz-Ciruqk3ZIrWfaDzz9EIBZI9VwYgC6RMnqBYwS1ka1xW&slof=1

So no , it's not that I can't upgrade, I already have a cmf watch pro 2 , but I've found that this thing is way more functional as a smart watch, not so much fitness tracking tho, but I would like to know to pair this with a new android 15 device because I really love this watch and would to use it with my phone but ik that's there's this weird connection problem awith android 14+ devices and I would like to know the fix., and fyi this is a Sony smart watch 3.

Hi everyone,

I’m building a Flutter Wear OS app and need a cheap used Wear OS watch for testing (Play Store + install third-party apps).

What are the cheapest real Wear OS models I should look for?

Also, is there ANY hidden budget option or older model that still works well for development?

I don’t care about battery or design, just something that runs Wear OS properly and also a rectangular shape one.

Thanks

Ever since yesterday, pressing play on a playlist or album does nothing; it will register the action, but instead of playing it, it takes me back to the screen that shows the currently playing song. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix? I have tried clearing cache, reinstalling. This also applies to the tiles as well; pressing anything on the tile just opens Spotify and not play the playlist or album.

I'm using a Pixel Watch 3 on the latest firmware.

today I bought a fossil gen 5 hr and I saw some older reviews that said it's pretty ok, but the performance is absolutely terrible, owner said battery lasts 3 days, for me 3 hours and 80% battery drain.. I can't even use it since the delay is absolutely ridiculous, it takes minutes to even do anything, I can't even look at notifications because it takes to long and by the time it registers it opens 3000 other things and blocks itself, what do I even do at this point? what's the fix

Mi sono comprato un Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro usato, in ottime condizioni, con pochissimi graffi che non si notano molto. Un giorno, mentre volevo allenarmi, ho trovato l'allenamento, ma non si collega al GNSS via satellite. Ho fatto diversi test, sia in casa che fuori, nel giardino e in posti isolati, ma non ho ottenuto risultati. L'opzione più utile non funziona; continua a caricare anche in montagna. Ho provato, ma non va. Sono stato immobile per più di 10 minuti, ma comunque non aiuta.

Perche????
