I can't connect my Google wallet to my Xiaomi watch 2 after disconnect and reset my watch, any solution please 🥺
Fossil gen 5. Like most I have intermittent charging ring issues and just now noticed this on the side. Looks like a mini USB c but can't find anything online about it..
Hey guys,
When I used my exercise bike I often zone out and start slowing down my cycling and obviously in turn that slows down my heart rate.
I'd love an app that can be used as some sort of HIIT / tabata timer but also while in the work phase ensures that I am staying in a high heart rate zone, by vibrating whilst I am under the heart rate zone until I speed up to the point that my heart rate reaches the specified higher range.
I have a Galaxy Watch 4 but would likely buy a new watch if this exists elsewhere
Thanks in advance for any help!
For my case with every tracking on with Xiaomi Watch 2 pro i have got like 2days or 1.5days of battery life, it's good for me. (aod off and turn wrist off)
Does it same with watch 7 44mm?
Also took it for 229€
I've had an Oppo Watch X for a few weeks now and I love it. I like Wear OS and it's perfect for my needs.
I recently started running again and am currently tracking my activities with the Oppo and everything is fine, there are some details however that made me look around for other models. So I came across the Huawei GT5 Pro and I have been using it for two days. It is very nice aesthetically however I miss Oppo and Wear OS a bit even if I don't disdain Huawei :)
Aesthetically I love both.
The pros for me of Oppo are:
The cons are:
The advantages of Huawei are:
The disadvantages are:
I develop software for work so I'm a bit of a nerd and deep down I know I should stick with Wear OS, I kindly ask you to convince me to return Huawei and keep Oppo 🙂
I have my PW3 configured with ring and notifications disabled (Settings > Sound > Mute ring and notifications: Enabled) and vibration enabled (Settings > Vibration > Vibration and haptics: Enabled) so that my watch vibrates for calls/notifications but without any sounds.
For as long as I can remember, calls randomly stop vibrating the watch. If I'm looking at the watch, I'll see the call coming through, but without any vibration. If I toggle the 'Mute ring and notifications' setting then send through a test call, vibration works again. It stays like this for...a while, then will randomly stop working again.
Is anyone having the same problem? I'm at a loss!
So, I have an old Oppo Watch I bought my mom a few years ago. Since then she switched to an Iphone and got herself an Apple Watch, so I took the watch and used it a couple of times and it all worked great. A few days ago I had to pair it again to my Pixel 7 (as I formatted the phone around two months ago) so I did, reset the watch, paired it, it worked for a couple of days, but then my phonestarted bombarding me with notifications, saying that the watch is not connected and for my security I should re pair it. So, I did. Reset the watch again, went through the pairing process, updated the watch downloaded yhe necessary apps, and it worked again, but now I'm receiving these same notifications again. But the thing is- the watch is still connected, WearOS app says it's connected and i get Whatsapp notifications on my watch. The only "issue" is these notification that I can't even disable as these are system notifications. Is it Google's way to make me buy a new watch? Because I barely use it, only when I go for a run from time to time. Really hope someone will have an idea on how to fix this.
I have two honor watches and i want one of them to my little brother so can i link them in one account and what will happen?
Hey all! I need a few more testers for Play Store approval to publish my first Wear OS app. (Requires Wear OS 3)

WearOS smartwatches are not equipped with a browser and require the user to go to the trouble of installing a dedicated application just to check the weather or stock prices.
Therefore, we developed this application to make it easy to check the same information from a smartwatch with the same layout as the website you normally use.
By adding tiles to the smartwatch and setting the URL and other information from the smartphone, the website can be checked.
Images captured on the smartphone side are displayed on the smartwatch, and although they cannot be manipulated, they are automatically updated at 15-minute to 2-day intervals, which should not be a problem for many applications.
Since the smartwatch does not access the Internet or other resources, it should operate with a reasonable amount of power savings.
It is an early version, so not everything will work reliably, but for the time being I have the bare minimum of functions.
I usually use tenki.jp, which displays rain cloud radar and weather forecasts on a tile. This is the same layout as the website version seen on the smartphone (yay).
Title. Thanks.
cant find it anywhere on my watch ultra. would love to use it too
So, an app that I used to use a lot on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic recently got updated, and the new update is awful. I have a Galaxy Watch 4 that hasn't been turned on in a while, and I think it might have that app installed from before the update. I cannot find an earlier version of the APK file anywhere online, so my only hope to return to the old version of the app is to somehow extract the old APK from the old watch without connecting it to the internet and allowing it to update, modify the APK file to break its connection to Google Play and prevent it from auto updating in the future, and sideload it back onto my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. I think I have a couple ideas on how I can break the Google Play connection, but I'm scared to even charge the old watch without having a plan to extract the APK before it can connect to the internet and update it. Does anyone have any ideas how I can extract this APK without risking it being updated and being lost forever?
I am trying to extract the System APKs from the Galaxy Watch. I have been using ADB, but it won't let you extract the System APKs. It will let you extract the base programs. Is there anyway to do the system Apks?
So, I sideloaded an app that requires logging in with Google or Apple, and I’m having trouble getting it to work. I do have Samsung Internet installed, and when I tap "Continue with Google," in the app it correctly redirects me to the browser for login. However, after signing in, the browser doesn’t seem to return the login info to the app.
Instead, it either hangs indefinitely or fails, asking me to repeat the process. Ideally, I want it to return to the app with the login info so I can actually use it, but so far, I haven’t found a way.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I tried searching, but no solid leads. If there’s a known solution or a thread that covers this, I’d really appreciate a link.
Thanks!
I need a pomodoro app for my watch, anybody any suggestions???
I have a Samsung Galaxy watch 4, and it has a dual time zone digital clock watch face which I find extremely handy when traveling for work.
Unfortunately, the only way to set the second time zone on it is to use Samsung's world clock app on your phone. But I recently switched phones to a pixel from a Samsung. And Samsung's world Clock app does not appear to be available unless you have a Samsung phone.
Any suggestions for a similar watch face? Or a way to set the time zone on the existing dual time zone watch face without a Samsung phone?
GWU when I try to go to power menú tobturb off watch nothing happens.
Tried holding the home button and that doesn't work either.
odd browser for wear os, as some of us already know it got removed from play store.
So my question is is there any working link for it download or can directly share it with me if someone have it.
i have already tried "mini web browser (wear os)" and "WristWeb: Web Browser Wear OS". and they are not working great for me.
Thanks

I want to use my watch to take a photo on my phone. I have a Pixel Watch but the Pixel camera app won't work because my watch is paired to a Samsung phone. So I decided to write my own app, and it's freely available to anyone else who might find it useful. Here's a video that shows how it works. The app isn't on the Play Store since it uses accessibility features, but you can get it here.
Yeah. Play Spotify then launch YouTube and play something.
Now, media control on phone shows you both options to continue playing.
Watch however only plays last source.
Can we switch between recent sources from the watch now?
I'm considering buying a Xiaomi Watch 2, found a shop with a great price (~100 euros), so it seems like a no brainer as it has all the functions I'd want. However, reviews seem to be inconsistent about battery life, some real-life experience would be greatly appreciated.
How long does it typically last in your experience ? I'd have AOD on, but GPS off and health tracking dialed back, as I'd be using it mainly to track notifications and control music, use the NFC, etc. I'd be okay with getting 2 days out of it, but daily charging sounds like a chore.
Smartwatches like the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch have the ability to prevent accidental touches while swimming in a pool and to drain water that enters the speaker afterwards.
Pure Wear OS smartwatches such as the Pixel Watch, however, have no such drainage feature and the only solution was to self-play music.
Since this is obviously a waste of time, I developed a simple app for WearOS that accomplishes drainage.
The main “key points” are listed below.
- Easy to drain. One-tap draining from complications and tiles.
- After drainage is completed, the app will close automatically. We wanted to reduce unnecessary operations.
- Customization. Noise patterns for various speaker arrays, duration of operation, and (I don't know if this makes sense) vibrate the main unit at the same time to prevent water from remaining around the speakers.
I hope this app will be useful to you.
Also, bug reports!
