Question Hands on the physical watch vs in the watch app - Google Pixel Watch

The time in terms of hour/minute/seconds don't match. Is this supposed to happen? Thanks. For example, watch is telling me 12:45pm, but the watch app still says 10:12am. Thanks

Hi, you probably have your watch set wrong or your watch's batteries are already dead or you have the wrong time set on your phone.

I reset the watch again, but the watch app still says May 24 10:09. Unsure if it's pm or am

Check in which region your time is set

I mean the time zone, I have Central European Standard Time

Yes. The physical watch set it at Beijing time zone, but there is no way to set it on the Watch app on the phone.

I don't believe that view within the Watch app is supposed to be the correct time and date. It is just a representation of the watch face/setup you are using.
Mine always says 10:09 on 24th May.
It also says I have done 1,123 steps and sunset is at 18:32
You will notice that most watches (particularly ones with traditional hands) show the time as 10:10 with second hand near 37 seconds as a time, as it's a visually attractive symmetry. Go check out pictures of watches on watch stores.

Thanks, then I don't know why Jan had different experience. The symmetry argument doesn't seem to apply when I have the "utility" and "everyday" watch face on.

It shows 10:09 (and 37 seconds) on all the available watch faces for me. Including Utility and everyday.

I found an exception. This luxurious watch by Van Cleef & Arpels doesn't use 10:10 or 10:09, but still it's the V shape instead of the downer. I guess the case can be closed now.

Any running apps that work with the heart rate sensor?

I can't find a single running app that will take heart rate while running with android wear. Am I missing something here? Anyone recommend any apps? On my Apple watch, I can run and have a constant heart rate displayed. Looking for something similar for android.
Thanks.

I just got an update to RunGPS which says that the update has a setting for continuous hr monitoring for android wear. When I go into settings sure enough there is new check box. I haven't been able to try it yet. Will let you know if it works.
---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------
Well, RunGPS didn't improve things. Not that I really thought it would, it's a problem with the watch. It did read continuously, for 5 minutes, then if froze and just stayed there.
yeah, I actually called Huawei and asked them about this, and they said that if I was linking to an android phone instead of an iphone it would be able to do continuous. Apparently not. I joined this site hoping to find instructions for hacking it to be able to get continuous HR monitoring. I like having one device for all this, and since I pedal to work, use Strava and My Fitness Pal to track my fitness, I would like to have an HR monitor I don't have to fuss with. I can barely even get it to read my HR at all, since it never seems to have a good read, even pressed tight against my wrist.

I tried Heartrate OS but it stopped working and I tossed it for Cinch. (It's called Cinch Weight Loss and Fitness.) You can get Cinch to give you every five minutes but not continuous. To be honest, the battery on the Huatch can't handle continuous anyway. Drains it too fast.

One if the big problems with the readings is to get it tight enough. Mine which came with the leather band couldn't get really tight, but then I got a rubber band for workout and it's great ?

[leak] AW2.0 (somewhat) confirmed

Look at what I found yesterday on amazon.de (Germany):
https://plus.google.com/+Ralfranfyy/posts/Zv2X1c3K1rP
Nice find. Fingers crossed!
Nice find, it's probably some kind of mistake but still, very nice find.
It's pretty much already confirmed Smartwatch 3 will get this update, hardware is compatible, the watch is still fast and pretty fresh, hence, in my opinion, AW 2.0 will be released to our watches
I don't care if intentional or by accident. But someone at Sony was paid to make this video.
I'm more excited about the price, I paid 175 €...or was it the Amazon Prime Day?

Do they not just mean android wear itself is still in development, which it is. I wouldn't look too much into this just yet.

please guys, this dudes knows nothing real about updates and all those things, this happened a lot of times in the Xperia SP era, one support guys said there will get kitkat, some other said no and other said that can't say anything "and stay tuned to software update page" (and all u know how that ended, with rage in part because us costumers), so stop doing that, they REALLY know nothing and u can't blame them, they are just low level employes, just wait for an official statment
Look: a SW3 in the upper left corner. Does that mean anything? I have no idea.

Sony smartwatch 3 is EOL
The website itself says the watch is not compatible with wear 2.0, only thing is just wait for the development of a custom rom I mean devs ported Wear 2.0 to the Zenwatch 2 so let's wait to happen with the SW3
Its a mistake of Sony and Amazon. I called sony Germany and Amazon Germany. The both will delete this Video. Sorry

Are the HR monitor and sleep monitor accurate ?
I think there was a technical problem
nunorfa got an electrical shock instead and died

I hope you are kidding.
I am using this smartband since 2 weeks. I am not able to say if distances, steps or calories are accurate. Battery lasts 6 days more or less.
I would like to ask a question to others that uses the app iWOWNfit (iphone) : there is a goal setting section in the app, where you can insert the sport activities you'll probably perform during the week, this activities never complete themselves, even if I start the activity manually by the band Training section. If someone uses it please give me some hint.
Bye.
Hello
In the description of the product was the information about the remote control camera. Does anyone know where is this option?

Hi,
didn't find that too. Also didn't find an option to turn off heart rate monitor to save power.
Maybe in one of the next firmware versions...

Hi everyone,
Juste ordered mine and and I'm guessing if it is possible to change the wrist band.
Anyone tried that ?

It is no official way for that. But I had no reports about need to change it.
order one and can't wait to try it out.
i can read the arabic message
Recently got the band, overall it's good, measures everything correctly. Unfortunately the app is horrible, drains the battery and is nearly useless. Even though the band itself records the sleep, steps and heart rate 24/7, the app has no way to show the previous day's recordings on the sleep and heart rate. Calories target on the app seems useless, if the band goes out of range - it doesn't reconnect to the app.
try the english mod of the latest Chinese app (zeroner health 4.0)...It's a lot better...
http://www.mediafire.com/?qcejvc1pw4cq3gp
Yes, translated Zeroner 4 and IwOwnfit 4 much better, but chinese software sucks at all I'm waiting for full support of this band by this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.wilix.device.geekbracelet
For now it lacks some functionality but works much better: only controller sending data to GoogleFit, not duplicating GF features.
I cannot make it work...It scans for the device (i6 pro) but cannot find it....

Maybe Iwown for Geek is not implemented for I6 pro?

Maybe, your band is already connected to other app like zeroner?

Is there anyway to get my phone to display my HR readings from watch in real time?

So I used to have Xiaomi Mi Band 3 that could do that with an app you download from Play. Is there anyway that makes this possible on GW? It was very convenient being able to see your HR reading in real time while rowing/using eliptical so that effort could be adjusted in order to remain in the aerobic area. And if there isn't such a way to do that currently, is it possible to make such an app? In other words, does Tizen allow apps on Android to access HR readings in realtime? I have an okey experience with programming and would gladly spend my free time to make that possible if no one already did.
Thanks in advance.
tried any hr watchface yet?

I haven't been able to find a way. Here's a thread that's been out there for a bit longer with more replies. Half the people who reply are confused on what is meant, and no one else seems to have an answer. https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/displaying-heart-rate-phone-t3555867
Fitbit handles this natively right on their dashboard in the phone app, it's disappointing that Samsung can't have this same functionality.
I would love to see an app that does it. Would be great if it also had a short term history graph of the heart rate too.

I am on it. As far as I read in Samsung developers' website it should be possible, but I havn't yet gone into the details and made sure of it 100%.

I found a way to do this from my Galaxy Watch Active using "Heart Rate and Speed Transmitter for Zwift and Arcade Fitness" from the Galaxy Store https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/org.bipr.hrspeedtransmitter which broadcasts your heart rate over BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). Once you have that running and your device paired in Bluetooth, you can use "Heart Rate Monitor" from the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bmi.hr_monitor

You can also do this to a PC by using "Heart Beat Monitor" from the Microsoft Store https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/heart-beat-monitor/9wzdncrdkw2v?activetab=pivot:overviewtab This one seems a little buggy on getting it to work, but it does the trick once you get it running.

Galaxy Watch 2 Active - night SpO2 tracking

Hi folks, recently I saw that my sleep tracker in the Samsung Health app got a new section called "blood oxygen during sleep". Screenshots attached.
I'm just wondering if it's just another Samsung bug(or troll ), or something is coming.
Any thoughts? Sorry if it was already mentioned somewhere, but I might've missed it.
I'm on Android SHealth 6.18.6.015, watch R820XXU1DUE3/R820OXA1DUE3. Eu version, Poland.
Edit phone is Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512, unbranded, Samsung distr.
