LG G Watch W100 won't connect to the internet on set up

I am having issues with set up process of an unused LG G Watch W100 that looks like that has not left the box (even tho the ebay listing says it is used), after the successful process of connecting to my Android phone threw bluetooth after few minutes of the "Just a sec" screen it says it can't connect to the internet.

The watch connects to my Wear OS app perfectly threw bluetooth and can even connect threw bluetooth to my phone without the app with no problem too.

I tried using multiple WiFi connects that have WPA/WPA2-Personal and WPA2/WPA3-Personal, doesn't work. I tried connecting the watch from Mobile data on my phone, which doesn't block any connections if my router might have blocking anything, still doesn't work.

Is there a way to fix this or at least bypass this, because I just want to unlock Developer mode so I can install AsteroidOS on it?

Whats a cheap smartwatch than can control Spotify or YTM from my phone?

I am allowed to listen to music at work, but not use my phone once in the facility. I usually leave it in a hoodie pocket but I'd rather just have a smart watch that lets me skip ahead, skip track, select from a playlist, and do so from my PHONE not from the watch if possible (modded app + I don't want to pay for a watch to have data too)

I don't need it to be particularly rugged but a good dust proofing is required, or a case that blocks dust. My job gets a LOT of kief in the air and it sticks to EVERYTHING so being cleanable with an alcohol wipe is nice too.

Price range is more or less anything under like $500 but I'd rather spend under $150.

Phone is a galaxy a54 into JBL wireless buds through mint mobile, mainly bc I hate spending a lot on mobile devices (why does my phone need to be stronger than most people's PC? Why pay $80/m for slightly faster speeds than $15/m?)

I'd only use the watch at work, tbh.

I looked at some deals and read some stuff but I'm worried the cheapos in results will break quick, I've also never owned a wearable as until this phone I mainly just bought whatever phone had a good dac (rip v60) threw on a big sd card and listened through cans, bc I didn't work somewhere with rules about phones specifically and I hate in-ears lmao

Pixel Watch 2 or 3?

Did a lot of research and narrowed it down to these. I'm a beginner hoping to be more intermediate in my fitness journey. I already own a Chromebook and pixel 7a. According to what I've read the main difference between the two comes down to software?

Country: USA

New to Smartwatches - looking for a cheap watch to pair with Galaxy S8

Hi,

I'm new to the whole Smartwatch thing, but here's my situation:

  1. My job won't let me keep my phone at my desk for security reasons (ie - no devices with cameras allowed at desk)
  2. The #1 reason I need a watch is so I can keep it connected to my Galaxy S8 (Android 9) phone remotely, either via network or bluetooth or whatever, so I can get notifications from my phone delivered to my watch. This way, I'm not completely disconnected from my phone during work and if any emergencies pop up, I can go check my phone away form my desk.
  3. My desk is close to where we keep our phones stored at my job, so I might be able to just use a BT connection if that's all that's available.

Other stuff like fitness tracking or whatnot is not required, but if it's included and doesn't hike up the price, that's fine. But it's not my priority. My #1 priority is getting notifications from phone sent to my wrist watch so I don't miss anything during my work day. I don't even need to be able to talk through the watch either. I basically just want a watch that my phone can send whatever notifications it gets to.

What are my options AROUND $50 with those parameters? Are there no cheap options? Thanks ahead of time.

Help please

I checked something on watch in set features, and it keeps counting floors. What can I do? Please don't tell me to reset everything! (it is only on the watch, but it sure syncs with the Samsung health app).

Any good watch faces with a anisotropic, 3D effect?

Kind of like the new Apple Watch 10 face, Reflections. Been trying to look for something that is implemented nicely for a year now with no luck. Something that shows off the reflections of the watchface as you rotate your wrist to simulate a real sunburst watch face.

Kospet T3 Ultra - Athlete’s Opinion?

I am wondering if there are any runners and swimmers out thete who have used the T3U (or M3U) sufficiently enough to comment on the accuracy of the GPS and Heart Rate functions?

My experience with cheaper products tends to be that they show well but under stress they are not has good. Has anybody ever swam lengths in a pool and does the watch track laps and the heart rate well? What about intense running? Does the watch output heart rate responses that are accurate?

I appreciate athlete’s view and experience on this.

Problems after app update

I have Cardiogram app on my watch 7 ultra, it worked fine until yesterday. It had an update both on the watch and on the phone and, since, it closes a few seconds after I open it on the watch and the little heart showing it runs in the background doesn't show on the watch face anymore. The same permissions are allowed, nothing changed. But it does that. I mean it doesn't. (work). Anyone who has it can help me put it back on track?

How do you know if a watch allows voice record? Unfortunately the watch descriptions on Aliexpress don't say it. Thanks in advance!

Kospet T3 Tank Ultra / Samsung S10 5G - Only get notifications on the watch from some people?

Anyone seen anything like this. I'm mighty confused. The Kospet app has permissions and so does the phone. Obviously something needs tweaking. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

TY in advance.

Will it still work?

Hello people 👋🏻

I had the idea to offer a connected watch to my grandma. It a KSIX core amoled (picture). She liked this one because of its design and all. But here’s my problem : she can’t download apps on her smartphone.

So I don’t know if it will worth to put money into it, especially because I’m on budget.

My question is: Will it still work? Like I know she’ll not be able to use all the advantages a connected watch has but will she still be able to use it to tell the time? (bare minimum)

Thanks 🙏🏻😊

Any good budget android compatible smart watch suggestions i can text and maybe listen to music (the latter one is not that important)

I need a smartwatch for school to just look at my texts since they made a law banning phones from schools. I just need it to look at my texts and i would appreciate it not being that expensive. And some longer battery life
