User Reviews for Wear OS by Google - Smartwatch

Love the watch, hate the app.

I’m an iPhone user who received the Venture HR Gen 4 as a birthday gift and really loved the watch until I had to download this app. The watch is only connected with the phone when the Wear OS app is running in the background. Tracking my workouts and being able to see details of each workout is important to me. This app does not give detailed, individual workout info but groups an entire day’s activities together making it hard to distinguish what I only accomplished during the workout. Instead I have to log on to google fit on a computer to see more in depth. I also do not understand the concept of “heart points” and “move minutes”. Seems like an attempt to make the app and watch sound more complex than it actually is. There’s no new or interesting information that the app tells me which makes this app’s only use to be a gateway between my phone and watch.

Not comparable

I bought a fossil smart watch (Garrett HR) because I’m a little bit of a watch collector and wanted a smart watch for my collection and the fossil is more affordable than the Apple Watch ( which I will also add to the collection). Downloaded the app in the fossil store everything seemed to be ok. I was told I had to update the watch over WiFi (must be able to input WiFi ssid and password). I was on vacation and wound up using a iPhone hotspot, everything was fine. Updated the watch downloaded some apps, all was well until the watch disconnected from the app and would not reconnect. Check that WiFi and Bluetooth were still connected to the phone they were. I came to the conclusion the the app is garbage it won’t stay connected to the watch. Got home from vacation re-connected to my home WiFi again the Wear Os app disconnected from the watch. This app needs a major rework. Gave it one star couldn’t give a half star.

Terrible Application

I got this watch thinking that it was an alternative to the Apple Watch. I’ve now had this watch for 3 months and I couldn’t be more disappointed in a product. I’d like to think that the main issue is this “wear os by google” application and not the actually watch, but I could be mistaken. My watch is connected to my phone roughly 3 minutes of the entire day, it is continuously trying to download a systems update, it always shows that I’ve walked 0 steps during the day, and despite having Bluetooth and WiFi turned on “automatic”, I NEVER have access to internet. The app tells you to “tap the reconnect icon on your watch”....which gets you nowhere. The help page says to go to “wear os by google > connectivity > WiFi > add network”. It’s interesting advice considering my app is up to date and there is no such option as “connectivity”. I absolutely hate leaving poor reviews like this, but I feel like others should know what they are getting themselves into if they opt for this product. I wouldn’t waste my money on any product that requires this application to operate, until the developers give this application a 360 degree upgrade.

Doesn’t work with iPhone… I can’t download my workouts…

I want this app to work so bad, I love my Suunto itself, but I’m getting so frustrated with the app not working with my iPhone that I am thinking of selling the watch and getting the Apple watch (which is way less cool, and are so ugly, and don’t have the durability and sports options so I’m so sad I’m getting to that point. I recently damaged my iPhone so I have a replacement until the new one comes out and I can’t connect my watch to it at all. It says my phone isn’t available or discoverable and keeps telling me that I need to use the wear OS app to use the Suunto app. Then say I need to hit the Bluetooth icon to reconnect and then doesn’t connect. I ended up repairing my phone and lost my bike ride for the day that I was really looking forward to tracking. I don’t know. I wish it could just Bluetooth connect to the Suunto app, I would warn most of my friends with iPhones to not even bother getting the watch at this point.

Do better for us!

I have a Diesel Axial (comparable to Fossil Gen 5) and it took some trial & error to get things to be ok for my day to day use. A lot of users don’t know that iOS users have to keep Wear OS open in the background at all times while watch is in use. If I allow my watch to receive calls through the speaker, my watch will disconnect after an hour or 2, so I didn’t connect that feature and my watch stays connected. iPhone users can’t respond to messages and atm there’s no work around for our normal text messages. But, for what I need this watch for: important news alerts, text message notifications, weather, counting steps and remote control for music on my phone... my watch has been working as great as Wear Os allows it. Looking forward to future improvements for us non-iwatch fans!

Developer Please Listen to Everyone & Fix!!

Just got the Bradshaw MK Rose Gold watch, and I Loved it!! I was told it was compatible with the iPhone which I have an iPhone 7Plus. I had invested hours of my time to try to figure out how to get notifications at the least! I have been unsuccessful! I think false advertising that it’s compatible with an iPhone is so wrong on Googles part. They have to given false hope to people so they can pay all this money for a watch that will not work on an iPhone. Like y’all don’t get enough money?! I have to mention that I do have an Apple Watch which works wonderfully, but I wanted a variety as I love watches, and this new age digital watch has been intriguing to me. I sat here reading everyone’s reviews, and I think I only read one review that you all replied to, and that in it of itself should show the companies character, and credibility. Listen & Fix the issues y’all have promised or just reimburse everyone for their products, time, frustration, and stress etc. This isn’t worth it! Had I known I would have gotten a basic watch. Thanks!

Great app. People need to learn how to use an app before reviewing it.

This app is great. If you want a smart watch but don’t want to spend the money on an Apple Watch, there are plenty of cheaper ones running Google’s Wear OS and this app allows you use them with no problems. Of course you can’t do as much as you can with an Apple Watch because Apple blocks certain features that Google can’t control such as text replies, camera usage, etc. but the basics such as notifications, calendars, etc. work with out any problems. When people say they're watches are randomly disconnecting, it’s because they close the app. The one downside about the app that Google has zero control of is the app has to be open at all times in order for the watch to stay connected to the phone.

App doesn’t work, interferes with watch

This app is completely ridiculous, my watch won’t stay connected if I leave my phone 10 ft away from me. It is excruciatingly slow and has really no features in the app that aren’t features within the watch settings. The funny part about it is, I had to reinstall Wear OS because I thought maybe that would help. But I noticed that once I had uninstalled the app, al of a sudden the watch sped up, and was functioning much more quickly. But of course you have to have the app for the watch to work. This is definitely a problem from google wear OS, and not my watch. You guys need to scrap it and rebuild from the ground up. I usually set google to a high standard with anything. This app is a joke. Since the app is so slow and nonfunctional, I had to reset to factory setting five times for it to finish setup without a crash. It spent me the whole day. And I believe that is ridiculous- it should’ve been able to set up and get working at an hour TOPS. Can we know if this is getting resolved ever so we can get functions watches, or should we all just say enough is enough and get a watch that has an actually functional OS?

Disconnected phone problem

The disconnected phone problem is if you close out of the app it will disconnect your watch. I have had the same problem as most people but I went to the fossil store today and they even replaced my watch. I walked out of the store and it disconnected again. I have a habit of closing out all my apps when I put my phone away and when it tells you to check your notification to reconnect your phone you just scroll to look at your notifications on the watch, open the app on your phone, hit the notification on the watch and then hit reconnect. It will reconnect your phone. I have an iPhone 8 Plus and i was starting to get really irritated with the watch for that disconnect reason. So if you leave the app open on your phone and just keep it running in the background you shouldn’t have any more problems. I called the store and let them know. They need to make this issue more known and how to fix it. Now I just got to get used to leaving it open on my phone.

iPhone X max

I just bought a Movado conect 2.0 In Rose gold and downloaded the wear OS app. At first, I was a little disappointed when I read the reviews that you couldn’t get messages or calls if you had an iPhone but I love Movado watches and I wasn’t going to return it. At first, I wasn’t able to get text or calls but after syncing my email account I was able to get all my contacts, text messages on my watch as well as calls. I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this; but I’m able to read all texts on my watch as well as take the calls on my watch. I can talk and they can hear me but I can’t hear them on my watch but I didn’t buy the watch to talk to people for that I have my phone. I’m happy with just been able to read the texts on my watch and been able to see who’s calling me before I pick up my phone. I have no problems with connectivity so far, my watch has stayed connected the whole time and I get all my emails and calendars appointments. I can track my heart rate and steps as well as calories. I love this watch. So far no problems.
