Texting issues

The app is excellent and works really well with my iPhone The only major problem is that you can’t text or answer any kind of message that it is possible when it’s pair with a Samsung phone I hope the developer resolve this problem because it’s a importante an helpful function
S3 Frontier

The Samsung S3 Frontier watch will not work anymore on the new iPhones. Stop trying and stop listening to the developer on how you should reset your watch. It’s not going to work.
Shouldn’t Even Exist
NateX94
With all the limitations, features you lose, functionality that ceases to exist when you don’t have a samsung phone connected.I understand I now have a Galaxy Watch and an iPhone and they won’t play well.But the way this functions the pair shouldn’t even be an option.Please fix or completely remove.
Useless

The Samsung Watch is great! I love the product. However, the app is useless. At first I could tweak a few settings from my phone, but after about two days the app stopped functioning completely. It continues to say that my watch is set on power save, no matter what I reset! This means my app won’t connect to my watch, at all! The best part is that my app will not allow to me use contact or support features. Disappointing that you can’t utilize the phone software to go with the product. Will not purchase another Samsung product based on this experience.
Galaxy 2 watch with iPhone

Great watch with the exception that it doesn’t seem to provide any text information from my phone. Otherwise I like it better than my former I watch.
Watch is good. Connectivity unstable
first time samsung user
I like the watch and all it can do. I also like the 3 day battery life. I feel it does ok at Heath tracking as well. However, I am disappointed by the Bluetooth connection stability. I can get it to connect to my iPhone initially but if you walk away from the phone far enough that Bluetooth is lost the watch will not reconnect with a stable connection. It will reconnect, then drop a few seconds later, then reconnect and repeat continually. There are many others with this issue or similar and there are many options to try to resolve this. I have tried them all such as reset, reboot, reinstall app, and so forth and I have tried all of them on both the watch and the phone. Connection will restore but it’s temporary and you will encounter the same issue after a day or two or maybe the next time you leave your phone and get too far from it again. In my opinion this is related to the iPhone app because if the app is closed the reconnecting loop will stop but it will remain in a standalone state. Based on all the reviews here and on the internet, this is an issue that Samsung should be aware of and have fixed by now. This is why I give it 3 stars. Mostly because I like the watch itself. But app is not so stable.
Works with a iPhone 5

Works well with iPhone 11

I have had a Galaxy phone and the Gear S2 watch. I recently upgraded to an iPhone 11. I am quite pleased, as the app works quite well. There are a number of things not supported, most of which I actually like. The watch faces and notifications work very well, but if you are about controlling your phone from the watch you should probably buy a watch from the same company that made the phone. All in all. If you have a Samsung phone and watch, do not let the nice watch get in the way of switching brands of phone.
Love this watch

I’ve had a few different smart watches, but this one is, by far, my favorite. The look and feel are awesome and the functionality is really good. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of some connectivity issues with my Apple phone in the beginning. I restarted the watch and it’s been fine since, but we will see.
