I'm thinking of picking up a GT2 or MagicWatch2 to use primarily with my iPhone. However, I would like to be able to install custom faces using the guides posted here and to do that I know that I will need to use my spare Android phone. My question is this: if I initially pair the GT2 with my Android phone and download watch faces to the device, will those faces still be there if I later unpair from the Android phone and pair with the iPhone.
I know that with Android Wear and Tizen, pairing with a new device wipes the watch clean. But I'm unsure if this is the same with Huawei's Lite OS.
Once you uploaded the watch faces to your GT2 watch they will stay there even if your watch is not connected to a smartphone. You can switch the watch faces directly from your watch.

I am interested in using the Smartwatch for running as it has GPS and can play music.
What I would like to know is if you can connect a Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor to the watch?
Has anybody tested this yet?
Thanks
At the moment that's not possible.
The only app that works without the phone in "offline" mode for sports is My Tracks from Google. So there is no app to use any Hear Rate Monitor.
The big thing, and I hope it's coming soon is new versions of Runtastic/Runkeeper etc with the same offline mode. Then, may be they let us use chest BT heart rate monitors.
We have to wait.
Question: is it possible to connect HR monitor and Smartwatch (so 2 BTLE devices) to the phone at the same time?
Example: go running, have the phone handle GPS and get heart rate data from a Bluetooth chest strap, and show it on the Smartwatch?

Yes. Perfectly possible. Runtastic would show all the info in the watch.
I really hope they add support for untethered mode with SW3. Their wear app is more flexible and better visually than runkeeper.

Cool! Thanks! Will buy it and use it like that with Endomondo until it will be possible to use a Heart rate strap directly with the watch. Don't really need music.
I see Strava has a Android Wear app. Is it possoble to connect i.e. Zephyr HxM Bluetooth Heart Rate belt to this watch?
Bump
I'm using a Polar H7 Bluetooth Smart HR strap together with this watch. Using ghostracer app. Works pretty well now.

I am also hoping that it will be possible to connect a chest worn heart rate monitor directly to the watch... I would be lining up to buy the SW3 if that were the case. But without that feature, what function does the watch serve if you still have to lug your phone around?
Second question, people were talking about off line mode above... Does Google Fit work in the so called off line mode??

Ya I saw that... But I'm want to be able to use it with Endomondo or Google Fit to track all sports and activities, not just running and biking. This is a good sign though.
Does the watch track Google Fit activity when not tethered to a phone?

I only know that it tracks steps... Haven't really tried to go for a run without turning on Ghostracer...
Looks to me though that you are looking more for something like a Polar M400 or V800... Perfect sport watches and the next update will bring smartphone notifications...

I've been trying for a few days to get my Polar H7 to connect with my SW3 and I"ve had no success. If I go to Bluetooth devices in Settings, I see it available and sometimes I can get it to pair. However, I've never been able to get it to connect, it's always stuck at Connecting.... I know the HRM works fine, I use it daily. I tried turning the phone off, resetting the watch but no luck. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
There's no need to pait Bluetooth LowEnergy (BLE) devices. Enable on the phone in settings/AndroidWear/BetaHeartReate. Then simply start Ghostracer and watch the heart symbol turning from grey to white when it is connected to your heart rate strap. That's all. To monitor your HRM frequency use "customise screens" (you need to buy the full version) and add the HRM from data field "sensors".
How did you managed to get the HxM working with GhostRacer or Endomondo on the watch? I'm not sure I get it...
Do you connect the HxM with the Phone or the Watch?
Do you run the app on the phone or on the watch?
So far I tried connecting with the phone, setting it up with endomondo but I don't get the BPM on the watch (altough I do have it on the phone)
I tried pluging it on the phone directly, but Endomondo still doesn't show it...
I tried opening GhostRacer but I don't even get a pace/GPS reading...
I don't have any options to "enable heartrate monitor" under Wearable neither...
If someone would guide me on this, it would be greatly apreciated!
I factory reset the watch and try to pair from Android wear. The pass code is shown on the phone but when I click to pair I immediately get an error saying that the phone can not communicate with the Moto 360. I've deleted cache on phone, Android wear and Google play services but nothing seems to make a difference. I have two Motos and I get the same issue on both. The phone is also paired to a Bose Soundlink III without issues so it is not a general Bluetooth problem.
Hi there,
I am using the elephone p8000 and would like to use a notification watch.
Right now I have the mi band which is good, but a bit ugly and not able to show the time.
That's why I was looking for a watch that would vibrate when a call was incoming.
My first try was the cogito watch classic but apparently the Bluetooth didn't work good together.
Now I am about to order the Elephone w2.
Does anyone have any experience with that combo or has another idea for a rather simple notification watch that is working with this phone?
Thanks in advance
I have a martian smart watch this seems to work fine with the p8000

Thx for the feedback. I hope that there is no problem with watches I'm general then and that the w2 will work.
No loudspeaked
Hi,
Due to one bug you will not be able to use BT loud speaket, call's will not be transfered when two bloutooth device connected same time.

Oh wtf?
Hi,
I have that watch now and am more or less happy with it. More because it seems to be working, less because it really lacks the vibration on new notifications for me.
That is all I'd need from a "smart" / notification watch, but I don't get it in the w2.
And as the bluetooth apparently is really bad and my last other watch wasn't working, I won't check other watches on the P8000 anymore and wait unitl I have another phone.

I use a Huawei watch with P8000 and it works perfectly.
Oh, would you mind telling which one exactly?

There is only 1 Huawei watch. Different cases/straps but internal hardware is same throughout. Had a LG Watch R before and this also worked. No problems using watch for notifications and car Bluetooth for calls simultaneously.
Ok thx
I've been using a Huawei Honor Band Zero for months. In the beginning it didn't work with the P8000 but did ok with other phones. It was solved after Huawei released the first firmware upgrade (there have been around 6 more updates after the first one). No problems with calls, since the Honor Band Zero doesn't have a microphone and only allows you to reject calls, and not answer them. It's more like a Mi Band but with wristwatch functions and appearance
Can you tell something about that watch? Is it good with vibrations when receiving also WhatsApp and so on?
Hi, right more I have a Moto 360 2nd gen and it works like a charm. Just for reference if somebody is looking into that thread
So I gave smart things a try, to watch a Samsung TV on my phone, and listen to the TV sound through Bluetooth via my phone (dual sound so I can watch with another person). It took ages to connect, neither device saw the other, and when it did connect it was buggy, and there was real lag. Looks like Samsung has some work to do here.
Question is for Huawei GT2 and Honor Magic Watch 2.
Question on AOD - I tried to search but see no definitive solution. Appreciate any link or guide.
Question on bluetooth really bothers me as I dont want my watch to be constantly listening me and being connected to my phone.
Thank you so much for help.
Apparently nobody knows how to how to shut the Bluetooth on gt2. Bluetooth bothers me a lot! Not because it's listening to me but because of the unnecessary radiations.
