On the official website of Sony they say that the Sony smart watch 3 support Android wear 1.5 and Android wear 2.
Is there any chance to have Android wear 2 officially on our beloved watch?

I usually don´t comment on questions like this and I usually don´t advise people to use the search function or read up on a 1000+ page thread. But in this case, as all the information really is easily available via search, google or just reading a couple of posts, I find your question rather annoying.
AW2 is not and will not be officially available for smart watch 3. If at all, there may be a ported version. But the thread for this has been going for months with no clear results so far.
Currently you´re stuck with AW1.5.
Wow, I could acctually bring myself to somewhat answer youre question...

What the Sony website actually says is
*** SmartWatch 3 SWR50 supports up to Android Wear 1.5. Android Wear 2.0 and onwards are not supported.

It's not comming officialy, but unofficialy?
I doubt a decent version will be ported and I've not seen of any development news but feel free to correct me.
I've given up on the Sony watch now due to poor support. I'm waiting for the LG sport watch

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place. I am having issues on my Gear S3 watch when I pair it to Note 10+. Some of the watch faces (especially the purchased watch faces) is not available on the Note 10+ Galaxy Store. When I go to Galaxy App >> My Page >> All, I cannot see the complete list of the watches faces I purchased before. While it can be re-downloaded and installed on my Note 8 Galaxy Store. It is all present on my Note 8 if I pair it again to it.
I also tried backing up everything on my Gear S3 watch from Note 8 then restore when I pair it to Note 10+ but still the some of watch faces are not downloaded afterwards.
The only difference I see is the Galaxy Store version. Not sure if this is the reason.
Need help on this. Thanks!

I had this happen with the Titanium SU Pro watch face where it was available for my Note 9 but not my Note 10+ 5G.
One email to the Dev and all is now good. The dev just needed to update the watch face to support the new device types.

Correct - the app store backend is pretty archaic. You have to tick every combination of phone model with each watch model. There isn't an option to have it automatically support all devices
I have sent email to the developers of the missing watch faces. Only 1 developer replied so far. He said, there is nothing he can do.
Still checking with him if there is a way to add support for the new device. :crying:

They just need to log in to the seller page, click update on the watchface and under devices they need to tick all the new ones. Then submit and it will be approved in about 30 minutes
If I buy the chinese version of Honot Magic 4 Ultimate (Or Honor Magic 4 Pro Plus), will I be able to install Global Rom in it?
I am not sure if Bootloader unlocking/ rooting are possible on this device yet.
The better question:
Can we install play store without the hassle of magic pro 3?
The chinese version already comes with Play store, so that is not an issue.
But I want to be able to install the Global ROM on the Chinese phone, I am not sure if that is possible yet.

Are you sure? Chinese vendors are saying that it doesn't come with it.
i saw a lot of videos where on the magic 4 pro there was google installed on it. i bought the ultimate yesterday, can't wait to have it in my hands. hoping with google, but if not there are some workarounds like on the huawei p50 pro
found this maybe it works on ultimate https://www.techyloud.com/how-to-install-google-play-store-on-honor-magic4-lite/

From what I understand, the problem is this:
Honor phones that are released in China (Chinese variants) don't have GMS pre installed and it's nearly impossible to install them. Why? Because apparently those China models for some reason still use some HUAWEI code in the software!
A reviewer from China - Michael Elsegood, said the following regarding GMS installation on chinese phones:
"Most Chinese brands you are able to install but because of Honors use of Huawei’s code it still doesn’t work here in China unfortunately"
video here
Global variants are different, they come with Google services pre installed.
But what global Honor phones are there? Honor Magic 3/3 Pro? Nope. Magic 3 Pro Plus? Nope. Honor Magic 4 Pro? No, still not out yet in Europe and there's not even an official release date. As of right now, we only have the crappy mid rangers and low end phones such as Honor Magic 4 Lite and Honor 50.
I'm pretty sure the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate will be CHINA EXCLUSIVE, meaning no Google services... Sure the UNOFFICIAL WORKAROUNDS to install google MAY still work, but there's no certainty... It's a big risk to buy such an expensive phone. Just my thoughts.
And yeah, some tech reviewers uploaded hands-on videos on YouTube with the international (non-China) model of the Magic4 Pro, and that's why it had Google apps and Google Play Store visible on the home screen.
I'm by no means an expert on the matter, just sharing my observations from everything I've read.
well, it is like it is, had the p50 pro global, and used only gspace or chinese ourplay. but found a lot of alternatives that work great. my other thing is, i'm scaried that other launchers can't be installed. now i bought the phone already but i had an older honor phone with chinese firmware and i couldn't install an other launcher. that was a big bummer for me

Yes, many Chinese manufacturers make it impossible to change the stock launcher so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case.
According to Honor UK, the Magic 4 Pro and other devices are coming on May 12th. No idea about other countries. And there is no word on the Magic 4 Ultimate, so it's most likely gonna be kept for China only.

Any suggestions on how to do?
Some updates
1. OurPlay : initial installation didn't work, contacted their customer service and they were great. It's working. I can't for some reason install Chrome.
2. Gspace : doesn't work, same error message as i shared earlier, contacted their customer service, zero response.
I have been patiently waiting like everyone else for magic pro 4/ultimate to come out in the UK. I was told that they will be released for pre order tomorrow on the honor website site here in the UK. Only includes the Cyan/black colours. Also something else which kinda pissed me off was that they are only releasing a 256gb and 8GB ram version. Not even a 512gb/12gb ram version at the moment. Im trying to replace my Huawei p30Pro which has the same ram and hard disk space. Seems kinda stupid really, you think if it was a flagship they would release the high ends.
Also I did try to also speak to the guys on ebay selling the 512gb ones in hong kong, they said they cant install as global version ROM on the phone yet. i don't fancy using G space etc, had enough issues with it on my huawei tablet, in the end I sold it
tried gspace and some apps work, like tinder, dazn and gmail, all other apps don't work, but i don't necessary need them. For youtube i use vanced and it works grat. The unique app i can't get to work is netflix. Does someone has a solution?
