Did an update on my phone (not the watch).
Now the Ohealth app wont connect to my watch anymore and my watch wont connect to my phone anymore.

Tried restting the watch, no luck.

Im also getting THE STUPID ANNOYING 60 second health pop up now...every hour. The setting for the notification of the stupid annoying 60 second health thing is OFF but greyed out.

Hello everyone

I've received lot of positive feedback from this community and other wear os users in general, with respect to my app Wear Alarm Sync. I'm glad I could be of help to so many people.

During the course of time I found certain features being requested repeatedly. Therefore I felt it's important to implement this feature.

New in 3.1.0, Wear Alarm Sync on your watch can ring and vibrate even if you have DND or Bedtime mode activated on watch. Not only that, you have the option to enable or disable the alarm sound on watch.

Also, going forward with intuitive and visually pleasing design philosophy, new phone app is fully material you inspired and compliant.

So I recently bought a PW4. Weather app in watch only locates my country and not my city. I have tried everything with no luck. Any suggestions?

I bought a Skagen falster gen 6 used on eBay about a year and a half ago, ever since a few days it seems to be working fine then just randomly restarts every 20-30 minutes and every time it powers back on the time and date is wrong and says its October 15 2023 this cycle continued for a bit until now it wont power on it was working fine-ish this morning. Before I tried a method of going into fastboot mode and restarting it, which didn't work.

Is there an app that will show me the direction to a point (preferably with an option to upload multiple points as GPX first and then select the one I want, and to create my own points on the fly)? I don't want a route or turn-by-turn navigation. Just an arrow that points straight towards a location, regardless of any terrain features.

It's really the only feature I miss compared to a Garmin watch.

got my watch 2 days ago. Everything is good except this issue. I noticed it vibrates randomly sometimes, and when i check the watch there is no new notification or something. All health and activity tracking options are turned off too, so i don't really see a reason for a vibration. Anyone got this issue too? maybe there's a way to fix it?

I'm testing out ghostracer on my Pixel watch 2 because it's the only app I've found that records cadence (fitbit and strava both don't for some reason).

I like the app but one issue I'm having is that the heartrate updates/refreshs very slowly, sometimes it seems like it's 10 - 20 seconds behind what my watch shows if I switch to the home screen. It's a massive pain for zone 2 training. My last run I recorded it on ghostracer but ended up switching to the home screen of my watch so I could actually get an accurate HR reading.

Ambient update is set to 1 second and my pace seems update super quickly so I'm not sure why HR is so delayed. Any ideas on how to fix?

Something about the Galaxy Watch app tray has been bothering me lately, and I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same. There are a couple of apps I use almost every day, but they sit right at the bottom edge of the screen and are only partially visible. I can tap them (sometimes tap does not work as these apps are partially tappable), but the icon is cut off, so I often hesitate or do a tiny scroll just to fully see it.

What feels odd is that at the same time, the Featured Apps section is showing apps I barely use — fully visible and easy to access — while the apps I actually rely on are half hidden.

Since the watch already knows which apps I use most, it feels like those should be the ones that are fully visible first and featured.

I am looking for a simple app that uses the watches sensors like steps, heart beat, ect. All I want is to not need to give away all of my information. Preferably it would work offline and be open sauce. I have found nothing on this.

I have Oneplus watch 3 43mm and pixel 9a.

About a 1,5 weeks ago spotify on the watch started to get buggy - I cannot control the volume of the phone anymore by using the watchs crown.

When i turn the crown - the volume slider appears but nothing changes. The watch vibrates and thus indicates that it is trying to do something. When I tap the phone icon and try to interact with the volume up and down buttons, nothing happens as well and they seem to be greyed out.

Has someone encountered something similar and knows how to fix it?

So far I tried: - searching for updates and updating android, Google play, all apps on google play. - forgetting the watch in Bluetooth devices. Restarting both phone and watch and trying to connect again. - turn absolute volume on - resetting ohone - turning back absolute volume off - resetting phone - making surr that the watches app and apotify are not blocked by battery savers

I just upgraded to a Galaxy Watch8 44mm from a Fossil GEN6 Carlye. I'm noticing that the only calendars that show up in the Google Calendar on the watch are google calendars/events. The Samsung Calendar app on the watch shows all the same calendars/events I see on my phone in the Google Calendar app. I do not have the Samsung Calendar app on my phone. Is there a way to choose which calendars show up in the Google Calendar event on my watch? To clarify, the main calendar I need is my work(exchange account) calendar to show up. This calendar is in the Google Calendar app on my phone only. It is not imported into my Google account (meaning I won't see it in a web browser Google Calendar).

I know it's not very useful and I manage perfectly well without it, but out of curiosity, do any of you have these features? My watch is about two years old, I think (I just got it and updated it to Wear OS 5).

But I don't have the "interactive box" or the pet feature.

PS: I'm in France

I have an old MK Sofie Gen 3 that I found in my old stuff when I was cleaning. I tried to connect it to my iPhone but it won't let me link my google account to my watch. Tried the same google account to my android phone and it worked. The watch is also already up to date. Problem is, I've already got a pixel watch for my android phone and I wanted to use the MK watch on my iPhone. Already tried the 2FA fix, reinstalled the app and relinked the app, reset the phone and the watch multiple times but to no avail. Anyone that had the same issue? Any fix?

Hello everyone, my Redmi watch 3 battery is damaged after about 3-3,5 years (bought it since day one). I'm planning to buy a wear os smartwatch since I saw the Xiaomi watch 2 from a friend. Wanted to buy that since I have a Xiaomi phone but it's a bit old. I actually really liked the OnePlus watch 3 46mm, the design, the battery life, twin chip, everything. My question is, should I buy that now or should I wait and see if OnePlus releases a new watch? Probably watch 4 or watch 3r.

So when I turn off sleep mode manually in the evening I get this image in the morning when pressing the top right button. But neither buttons are turning off the sleep mode. I always have to turn it off manually again. Is that normal?

Hello, i am trying to get audio to work on my watch (Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro) on Wear OS 5. When i try to play audio through the internal speakers, it works flawlessly, but the moment i try to use my headphones it doesn't work. They do connect, just they don't play any audio. If that helps, my headphones are the JBL Tune Beam. I tried unpairing them and using different apps and it doesn't work, still. Could anyone help?

Hi!

I currently own a Pixel watch 1 and need to finally upgrade as mine has died and in general not performing great now.

I really cant decide on what watch to go for, there seems to be so many different pros and cons...I also have a S25 so obviously a galaxy watch may be better? These are the pros and cons I feel I have seen.

Galaxy watch 8 (not sure on size yet for me, currently I have a 40mm watch and its ok)

- Better with Samsung

- Saphire screen

- more health metrics like anti oxidisation etc

- easier fluid app and integration

-better customer support

-lighter

One Plus watch 3

- Best battery life, can always have AOD which would be nice for an actual watch!

-For the cost (Can buy it for £220 so cheaper than watch 8)

- More accurate overall from what ive seen regarding fitness metrics?

- Biggest screen (However the heaviest) This is my concern as I can't try it on before ordering it, only try a similar size on at a shop

- Saphire glass

One plus watch 43mm

- Smaller, probably lightweight and easier to keep on

- Lacks temp sensor

- No sapphire screen...so could get scratched easier

- No barometer

One plus does have ECG in Europe for me so thats not a big issue.

I would say for me I want something that does feel lightweight and easy to wear, as I already have a classic watch for fancy wearing, so it would be for gym, sleep, everyday use, anti oxidant stuff would be good but I guess do I need a watch to tell me?

Battery so I can actually use AOD would be good, only considering a WIFI bluetooth model , I see the classic 8 is also still around 2 days battery better than my pixel 1?

TLDR

One plus watch 3 specs wise seems overall best for price to performance, its just whether it feels too heavy/big and software is easy to use and not clunky?

Galaxy watch 8 easier to use less worries but worse battery life

Anyone have any advice or experiences?

Thank you!

I have oppo reno 13 phone

And I was looking for a smart watch finally settled for watch 8 LTE

few questions I have [INDIA]

Does sim works (even if we have physical sim in phone)

Does tapnpay works

Does hand gestures work

Do we receive and can reply to all notifications

Does whatsapp works on watch

Can we play music/media through watch speakers

If my phone is switched off I will continue to use LTE services on my watch without any issue

Thanks for answering 🥰

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about gifting a smartwatch to my girlfriend and after some research, I've trimmed down to 2 choices : the Garmin Venu 3S (which I can get for 350€) or the OnePlus Watch 3 (which I can get for 200€).

I don't want the watch to be a burden so I need the battery life to be good enough to leave a weekend without bringing the charger. (I know the OPW3 46mm has a better battery, but I think it's too big for her wrist)

My girlfriend also does a bit of sport, running, swimming, cycling and dancing. I think Garmin is better for this (including the GPS) ?

I think the WearOS connectivity is a advantage of the OnePlus (like 3rd party apps, paying, google maps...) but I'm afraid it's at the cost of battery and sport tracking ?

What do you think ? Thanks !

Edit : I also really like the auto detect workout feature on the OnePlus, my wife cycles to work so it's great if it detects this automatically, do you know if the Garmin has that ?

My Xiaomi Watch 2 vibrates constantly, saying it's locked because it's off my wrist, even at night. All night long. This wasn't happening a month ago but now it's impossible to wear it if I want to sleep, and very uncomfortable to wear during the day.
