Hello guys,
Nowadays i want to buy a smartwatch and i search for good one, and i found Huawei Watch.
but i heard that new android wear (marshmallow) have some connection issue and it lost the connection regularly so is this true? and i even took a look in google play and lot's of people had this problem so i got cold feet
another question guys
between Huawei Watch and LG Urbane and Samsung gear s2 which one you choose?
Thanks for your answers :fingers-crossed:
Huawei Watch Classic running stock MM: no bluetooth connection problems here with Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
No contest with the others smartwatches!
It's a beautiful watch and I have no connection issues so far...
I tried several watch faces and one (or two) of them set the watch to vibrate on signal lost. I get some notification but I didnt miss anything because of it. I uninstalled these and the problem is solved. The connection - and the reminders - are flowing to the watch!

Hi Guys,
Proud owner of a lime green sw3 that I got for Father's Day. I am a school technology teacher, so I am always interested in the latest stuff that's out and wanted one because of the built in GPS, as I am a cyclist and would prefer not to have my phone on me all the time when riding or running. I so have a couple of questions though...silly ones, but because I am new to the android wear platform, I would like advice from you guys, the experts. My phone is an unrooted t-mobile sony xperia z and it connected up perfectly. Questions I have are the following:
How do I enable NFC on the watch in order for the watch and phone to be able to communicate but not have to be near each other? I know this is a new feature as of the latest android wear update, but I really want to take advantage of it.
If my work network has a proxy, is there any way for me to change the proxy settings for my work network on the watch so that it can use my work wireless network or am I out of luck?
How do I get the watch to use the built in navigation on it? Or does it do it automatically when I navigate and the phone is not connected? It seems to only navigate when connected to my phone as of right now.
Strava (cycling gps app) always seems to be trying to turn itself on...What's up with that?
Thanks in advance, and I think that is it for now. Everything else is pretty easy and I love android wear so far. Sorry if I missed any answers when I was searching around here!

How is your Huawei watch working with an iPhone following the new update? I presently don't own an iPhone but am jumping ship when the IPhone8 drops. I want to use my Huawei watch with the iPhone. Just curious to hear your pros and cons.

AW 2.0 isnt working with my iPhone 6s. Cant force the update with repeated taps on update screen becuase I cant force the watch to wifi (not an option). Any help from somebody that got it to work with an iPhone would be appreciated.
Am I the only one with an iPhone and a Huawei watch? Comments on other threads got me thinking I am not missing out on much.
same here. how does one get to wifi when using an iphone?
I manually flashed Android Wear 2.0 last night, as far as I can tell, everything is working just as it did on 1.5 with my iPhone 7plus

You can flash AW2.0 using adb
Got a notification that an update was available this afternoon. Going through the instal now. Ill let you guys know if there are any hiccups.
Everything seems to be working pretty well. Any of us iPhone users able to figure out how to respond to text messages directly? Is it supported with ios messaging?
Google maps isnt working. Cant respond to text messages. Not seeing any apps that make me excited. Pretty limited functionality improvement. New watch faces are cool, but the weather, phone battery status etc. complications dont function. I may be missing something but function wise I dont see significant improvement for the iPhone users the way that I was expecting it to. Would love some help or some insight from other users if they have a short review or tips for doing some of the things I think I am missing.

I don't have one yet but thank you for your feedback. Hopefully someone has some insight to help you out.
I'm using the elements watch face and the complications work great in android. Try using elements analog or digital. Long press the watch face and that should get you into settings. Tap on data and pick your complications. Also make sure you've opened the app connected to the complication. Hope this helps

Hello, I can confirm your info i have the same.
I was waiting for the AW2 to switch to my iPhone 6s.
I own multiple devices iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S and a Galaxy S5.
Previously I was on my galaxy S5 with my Huawei watch with AW 1.5.
the only good thinks it's the play store, not all watch face are compatible but some are.
for the weather, I have Pujie Black watch face it works.
hi everyone. i am using my huawei watch with an iphone device for a couple of months now. just have a question about it. is there any way that i can answer or make a call on my watch like andoird?! i really missed that.
Updating to Android Wear 2.0: (Verified by a few users). This is for the Huawei Watch and an iPhone.
Have the watch connected to the charger.
Remove and re-install the IOS Android app.
Unpair the watch and start over.
In Settings go to System/About/System Updates.
Wifi is NOT working yet. Choose Bluetooth in the update process and download the update.
Upon completion of the update you should have the wifi setting . Now you have access to the Play Store and all the new features of Android Wear 2.0.

Weather works fine.
The fitness part on iPhone is non existing. Google fit doesn't sync and Huawei Wear doesn't have Huawei watch as an option... So all things fitness stays on the watch sadly.

Hi Everyone.
Keen to get a cellular version of the galaxy watch (keener for a cellular version of the watch active but apparently its not coming our with a cellular version) but I have a huawei mate 9,
Can anyone tell me...
Will it work with a mate 9?
If not what functions are not active?
Does it matter if the watch is a cellular version? does it being cellular mean it can connect directly to apps and access required information.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have gone looking but cant find any reference ..
Thanks Tony
I have a Samsung phone so I'm not certain that this is 100% the truth, just what I have read from people in here or over the galaxy watch subreddit.
It should not matter what android phone is most things will work fine just like with a Samsung phone, I've only seen people talking about some compatibility issues with iPhone.
Now about the esim..
What I've read about it is that it works as if you have the phone with Bluetooth with you, you will get all the notifications but you don't have apps on the watch.
All of the notifications will be just mirrored from the phone notifications and the apps you can get on the watch right now are really limited.
Well you have Spotify and Samsung mail but for the others you can only do the same as on the phone notifications, read most of them, answer some things but it's going to be limited, on messaging apps you can see the last 10 but once you close the notification you have to wait until you get another etc.
If you often go out to do things like some kind of sport that doesn't allow you to bring the phone or you think you could use it while doing other things, it can be worth it but it's not going to work fully as a secondary smartphone, just as a app notification center + phone.
I'm using a cellular Galaxy Watch with a Huawei P20 Pro and it works perfectly.
Cheers,
Tom.
In all honesty, since they now allow you to download/install the Galaxy Weable app on pretty much any device now, you can use it with whatever device the app will work with.
I mean, there are always limitations and whatnot, but rule of thumb, yeah, it's not locked to Samsung phones only. Hell, they even let i(cough)Phone users use it! (unlike that fruity company with their watches).
Thanks!
Does the Samsung Galaxy Cellular smart watch work with huawei pro20?

You may have to activate LTE on a samsung phone. S7 or newer.
I'm on a p30 pro. Panicked when I tried to activate LTE through the wearable app and it wouldn't work. Borrowed an S10, put in sim card and activated. All good now.
Works a treat with my OnePlus 8 Pro! Cheers
I'm using Galaxy Watch Active 1 and Honor 9 lite, all function on watch work well ( pairing, get whatsapp,email, SMS notification, purchasing app). And I can access galaxy store without phone (using Wifi network).

I have Galaxy Watch R800 (BT, WiFi only) and Huawei P20 PRO and I cannot make a Galaxy Store on the watch to work. Any idea?
Everyone I try to run Galaxy Store on my GW i get error. I can run galaxy store on my phone and it works. I have the same problem with Bixby. Any other app works great.
I get this error even on WiFi connection.
My advice for those who want to perfectly match the smartphone with the watch: If you own a huawei smartphone then buy a huawei watch and if you own a samsung smartphone then buy a samsung watch! Otherwise, after few updates of one or another nobody guarrantee if pair samsung/huawei/xiaomi or whatever will still work without bugs...
Hi everyone, I am at my wits end so any help appreciated.
My wife has the GT2 42mm and it will not install watch faces. Occasionally after reseating the watch and the app it will do one, but then fail every watch face after.
I have tried various versions of the app, modded etc... All the same issue.
My own Honor magic 2 work perfect on the same app and will install watch faces just fine.
On the GT2 42mm I can change the watch faces that are already installed and also upload photos to it. But watch faces are failing.
I almost think there is a memory issue on the watch or some kind of communication issue.
I also thought it might be a region issue but I am based in the uk and that seems to be fine.
PLEASE HELP !
Hi friend smae problem here with my watch

If you find anything to solve the issue please contact me please

Hello, I'm french so sorry for my bad english.
First you must use a phone not Huawei et not Honor.
I have a Redmi to transfer the watchfaces on my GT2-46 and on th GT2-42 of my wife, because I have a Huawei P30 Pro
Then uninstall HMS and Health, install Health Modded and try to transfer a watchface.
Hello,
i just switched to a pixel 7 pro with android 13 and the sync with the Health app is not working (HUAWEI WATCH 3). Not even notifications and phone calls.
Has anyone solved the problem?
I have already tried to install the official versions of Health and HMS, and also the latest ones found on apkmirror but none of them work.
Thank you
Hi, same problem here.
Any solution?
Aa looks I'm not alone, I just spend 6 hours in support on huawei and Google but non of them can't help. I thing they even didn't know there is issue.
Have same problem with watch 3 pro.
But watch gt 3 pro works fine but on that is just rename d liteOs to Harmony Os.
Watch 3 pro has real Harmony OS that I thing will some issue with permission. It's just my guess but I hope someone find solution. I try it last 3 days to play around it.
Looks watch 3 and watch 3 pro (real harmony OS) has this issue.
Ps: more wierd is i gotalso pixel 6 pro and there watch 3 pro works completely fine, no issue at all.
I have the Same Problem no found the Failire at the monent
Same here. Please let us know if there's any info on this.
Mine doesn't get notifications with Pixel 7 Pro either
When do we think we will get a fix? I'd say never.
I have decided to sell off my 3 Pro. I think Google are making sure Huawei Watches don't function fully on Pixel Phones.
I'm facing the same issue with my huawei watch.
Exactly the same here. Pixel Pro 7, Huawei Watch 3 Pro, tried everything multiple times thinking i must be missing something. No notifications to the watch at all- calls, texts, alarms. Continuous heartrate and Sp0 won't work now. And watch won't sync. Sucks. Also have issues with viewing website imbedded video in auto-rotated landscape, and my CCTV cameras in landscape on the Pixel( Reolink and Camhi).
So i assume the watch is 1st issue, and the phone is 2nd issue. How annoying.
Anyone found any solution yet?
I realized my heart rate and spo2 levels also don't sync with my pixel 7 pro. Skin temperature, stress level and sleep records sync without any issues.
I went into watch settings and allowed each and every permission one by one.
No notifications whatsoever! I regret the day I bought this watch. And because of this, I will not be buying any otherr Huawei watch. It's a shame because I really like their watches.

Nah I tried all that too. I'm just assuming Google don't like Huawei anymore due to all the bans and stuff. I've just ordered a Ticwatch Pro 3 ultra instead whilst they're on sale. Hopefully that'll work ok using Wear OS.

I understand google not allowing their softwares on Huawei products but restricting people's choices of hardware is over the top.
I also believe Huawei is extremity slow in updating their softwares. Their watch was working fine with pixel 6 from what I see online. But Pixel 7 uses Android 13 and I believe Huawei Health and HMS Core doesn't yet support Android 13. We are also yet to see Huawei Pay in UK! I've paid good money for the watch not long ago and I can't see myself spending extra to buy another brand! I'll claim my free Pixel Watch soon but reviews doesn't look too good!
Same issue faced here. GT runner on both pixel 7 and oneplus 9R (Android 13 beta). I think Android V13 might not allow apps those are not from PLAY STORE to have the permission. Here's my workaround with a fresh start:
1. Install "Huawei Health" at the PLAY STORE (very old version)
2. Grant the permission in the system settings
3. Install "Huawei Health" at the Huawei website
4. Connect Huawei watch to the phone
Now your sync permission is still there. Btw, I dont know whether you can get the permission back if you cancel it now

This works.
Pixel 7 pro with android 13 cloned from Huawei P20 pro,
Huawei Watch 3 Pro.
Huawei Health app offered me an update and after I agreed it downloaded an .apk file. After the update, I deleted the pairing of my Huawei Watch 3 Pro with my old phone and started a new pairing, the watch generated a QR code. I ran a scan in Huawei Health and the pairing was successful. There is a problem, pairing breaks in watch ultra long battery life mode. This worked with the p20.
I saw Huawei released a new update for the Huawei Health application. Version: 13.0.0.320. Does anyone know if this solves the issue with Android 13? If not, I will wait with updating. Cheers!

This didn twork with pixel 7 pro and watch 3 pro.
Actually there is no issue with permission, watch just not have sync from phone. I can go to contact also use Internet through Bluetooth, but watch didnt have info permissions from app of continuous measurement or update weather or show notifications etc.
Looks like some share info missing or they didn't have.
Unfortunately pixel monthly update didn't fix this. Hope will app update soon to fix this.
Ps: my GT3 pro works completely fine, must be watch 3 series issue real harmony OS.
GT3 series use LiteOS renamed to Harmony OS.
Has there been any updates to the Hauwei health app to fix this problem?
I have the same problem , and i'm still lo0king for a solution.
I have been looking round the net & wondered if the problem was an out of date HMS Core software.
Has anyone updated to the latest HMS Core & then tried and see if notifications come through & phone calls?
on android 13 apps that are not in the latest play store will have limited permissions, just like huawei health ... take a look at this Youtube video
, a solution for that , and it worked on my huawei smart watch,.... for HMS which always crashes on android 13 use this version https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawe...ces/huawei-mobile-services-6-0-0-305-release/
