Sort of.
I bought my gear fit yesterday and messaging notification, including 3rd party apps, like whatsapp, work. I need to install Google calendar to get calendar notifications. All you need to do is download gear fit manager apk and pair. I can also use the media controller to skip tracks and control volume.
The watch can sense your wrist motion, and screen will switch on when you raise and turn your wrist to your face. Screen is super nice. Built is plastic but don't feel cheap at all. You can change wall paper. There are different home screens that allow you to customize to show the time together wirh different information, such as next calendar activity (which I use), or pedometer data, or weather.... Etc.
S health doesn't work. But I used to use pebble, and can say gear fit is much better as it can show emotions, , or whatever they are called. I can still use the heartbeat sensor, pedometers, exercise measures, but data just can't be sync to phone without s health.
Since Samsung released the sdk, I am hopeful that the exercise data will be supported by 3rd party apps eventually.
Let me know if you have any question. Oh yeah, the control is smooth, and based on my experience, the battery should last around 4 days.
Great watch... Anyone wants my pebble?

Great good to know thanks for the info!
Shame they designed it 90 degrees off...

I'll take it :fingers-crossed:
Is a usb cable or something to connect with a pc included to the deilvery contents?
This is really good news to read! Thanks for the info.
Scrib'd on my OG2
The usb cable came with it. It has a normal micro USB charger that connects to a small adapter which connects to the watch.

Are you sure weather can work on lg g2
Yes, except all the health functions. The other thing is though you need to install the latest gear fit manager with the gear fit being updated with the latest firmware. You can do that if you have another Samsung gs4 or 5.... If not, then go to your local electronic store to connect your gear fit too update firmware. Then disconnect it and leave.
I am still using both g2 and gear fit.

No there was an update this morning that brought the version number to 1.55.0428 along with that upgrade came a firmware upgrade. It was an OTA upgrade I got opening up Gear Fit Manager. I am in the USA. Gear Fit software is R350XXU0BNDC

Yes, could you notice any changes?
I got the update this morning, but I am also stuck at 1.50.0415 and not the new 1.55.0428. I am on an S4 if that matters.
I now have 1.55.0428 and R350XXU0BNDC.
I can hardly wait for more details about changes it brings (especially if it finally allows Endomondo connection). Did you get the latest S5 update (released around yesterday) when you were offered the Fit Manager and FW update?
I have an S4, restarted my phone in order to install another system app and then Gear Manager told me automatically after the restart if I'd like to update, then my Gear Fit showed some download on the screen and then the update was done.
I didn't see much new with this update. The only difference I have noticed so far is that if your phone isn't connect to the Fit Manager it shows a ! through the gear manager icon on the top. Oh and the scrolling seems to be much slower when scrolling through an email

When connected to my Fit and getting a phone call it is now appearing different on my S4, like a small preview pop-up.
Is this new?
hi, i tried to install manually the new gear fit manager apk from GamingWiidesire. Now i understand.. This morning, when i received the ota, i accepted it, the gear fit manager was updated, but after the app was restarted, it downgraded automatically to previous version. Thats why i was confused with version number.
Now, when i install the last version from GamingWiidesire, its the same, in can install it, but when i launch gear fit manager, it download the previous version and install, so roll back... Strange

same for me seems the update is just for US devices. Maybe the rollout is later in Europe
I'm from Germany (Europe) with an German Gear Fit and I got the update.
However now I was asked to delete my fit data and make some update and when I did it it also downgraded again. That's why I applied a backup to get the new version again and now I just always decline the pop up so I stay at the newest version.

i just flashed the new firmware with odin after that the new manager is working without a flaw now xD
one thing i noticed so far, except working clock designs, is that the screen is now turning on less often when you don't want it to. so that's a progress:good:

hey all,
so Im after the APK file for Sleep Genius for Gear Fit.
Ive searched my sweet a$$ for it, all possible downloads of it re-direct to the Play store, but Play wont let me download it
so far ive not found any APK for direct download, figured Id try here seeing as ive scored many great APKs from this site in the past....
so, anyone have this?? pretty please?
Use Bluestack on PC to get the apk.
I'm searching for this apk, too. Hope someone can upload it. Regards

umm, doesnt that Bluestack go off apps you already have???
this is an app that the store wont allow me to download, so I want the APK to sideload
No, Bluestack has the normal Play Store, so you can download the app and then you can export the apk with es file manager to your documents.
Just use Google there are 100000 tutorials for that.
Did it like GamingWiidesire mentioned. Thanx for the solution [emoji6]

ahhh I see, I had Bluestacks on my pc some time ago,but didnt really use it much & uninstalled it.
since I posted, Ive managed to get this APK from a friend. Seems the APP is available for Galaxy S5 owners, so was able to get it via an S5 emulator.
So I have the app installed & its working perfectly on my Note 2 + GearFit so far

Just like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949, point about Get Fit Apps Working (Optional). But for me to get it work o set name and device to SM-N900S (no "N" in description).
Requires root, you can find build.prop editors in Play Store. Can be undone, I guess it can has some consequences I'm not aware of right now.

Well yes, the phone has to be connected to Bluetooth to use any app. That's how it works.
There is no option for Gear fit in the app itself. That's just how it is, but it works.
You just start the app on your phone and it'll pop up instantly on the Gear Fit. You can set the app to do what you want it to on the phone
Or
On the Gear Fit, go into 'app connect', and sleep genius is there and will star & you can set it to what you want.
But again, if Bluetooth is off - it won't work. That goes for all apps made for it to use via the phone.
I leave my phone charging overnight with Bluetooth on each night to use Sleep Genius, that way it's still fully charged in the Morninglike usual.

Well this app's apk is the exact one from the play store - made for Samsung/GearFit. its not modified in any way to work with other phones.
if people with non-samsung phones get this to work - thats good luck
I have a samsung, Note II & it works perfect.
If you want it to work on some other phone, thats on you to figure out. I simply shared the std apk file, good luck.
no work link for apk, please any mirror
Anyone not using a Samsung phone with the Gear S? What certain limitations have you encountered and what phone do you have?
I have an HTC M8 so I'm hoping I won't be too limited to anything.
Someone posted about that on g+. He was able to get it to work with his moto X but said it was a pain to do. The setup process seems to be a big challenge.

If you are up to the challenge just follow the same method used to get the Gear Manager for the Gear 2 onto your M8. Then take it from there and see what happens.

So I went and picked up a new black Samsung Gear S today at the local ATT store. they only had one in stock and ordering through best buy produced a shipping date of March 2015.... I know its off subject but I havent kept up on the release and was wondering if it is fully released yet?
But anyway... Back to the topic.....
So like I said I just got it today and havent had much time to mess with it but I havent been able to get any of the paired functions to work with my M8. I also have a Gear 2 and a Gear Live. The Gear 2 I have working with a Gear Manager APK and like most with non Samsung devices, everything pretty much works with the exception of the S-Voice, weather. and any third party apps as I have no access to a samsung phone whatsoever..... Last night though through alot of reading I was able to successfully start installing new watch faces and some third party apps through the Tizen Wearables SDK using .wgt files... This is on the Gear 2 however and I was able to pair that one using the Gear Manager. The Gear S.. even though I am doing the same process to try to pair it I cant for the life of me get it to pair. The bluetooth connects and then it says connecting in the GManager app and just gets stuck there.. Something else that struck me as odd, after the first time you connect to gear manager we know of course it will automaticallys start asling to install something like 10 - 15 apps , I guess they are plug ins of some sort. Well when I connected the gear 2 it installed one called "Gear 2 plugin".... Now today when I tried to connect the Gear S. it installs the Gear 1 plugin. Anyone know if that sounds right?
So I too am constantly looking for info to get more functionality out of the Gear watches without going to a touchwiz POS phone, if you or anyone else has anything to share it would be greatly appreciated. I am also now looking for some sort of dump or repo so to speak, just an archive really of .wgt files so that i can have a bigger collection of standalone apps that I am able to install because that is the only way I know how to be able to add any appps to the Tizen watches so far. If anyone knows a better way to get to customize more please let me know. I have to be missingsomething..... or alot of things.... I read somewhere today that Samsung was claiming that the Gear S would have one thousand third party apps available at the time of launch.... I have yet to find one....

Well it definitely doesn't have what's app pre installed on it. There really isn't much on it for apps. Only new ones from gear 2 I think is that Nike health app like on the iPods a few years ago (not sure if they still have that on iPod) and some thing called"milk", I believe it's something for digital music like Pandora perhaps, email app and a messaging app... Oh and nav app. So did you want the wgt files so you could side load the faces and the few apps igot? They have to be installed via sdb unfortunately.... Unless you know aa better way?

Are you leaving your phone at home when using the Nike app? Does the gps (on watch)work after the initial launch while by your phone? I'm trying to understand how this works

OK, here goes. 95% of my running is on a treadmill so initially I had an issue where the app would prematurely stop collecting data even though I was still running. It would usually stop around 20~40 minutes into my 60~70 minute run. After trying a bunch of things I realized you have turn off, un-select the gps feature when your on a treadmill. The other trick i use is the do not disturb option since I really am not concerned about notices when I am running. Now, I have usually do have my note 4 close by but I did try once using the gear w/o my note 4 and it recorded my run & synced with no issues. I love my gear s.
