Been using a galaxy watch active for a while, and the lack of google apps have been a bit infuriating, so I'm glad there's a lot more available here because of wear os! Still a bit of a bummer, they try to force you into using samsungs own apps, by hard coding them to the buttons.

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

What app do I need please to pair Galaxy watch 4 with Pixel 6 phone?

I think you can choose what buttons are mapped to now, at least I can choose what happens for each button short- and long-press on Galaxy watch 5 pro

[@CHRISINCOGNITO]

I'm not sure if you check comments from videos this old but I wanted to let you know how useful this was for me. I'm thinking of switching from my z-fold to a pixel fold and even though this video is a year-old I'm sure that it still applies. Anyway, this is exactly the information I needed and I thank you.

[@Ch4osWe4veR]

I really like the look and price of this thing, but there's just too much fiddling and compromise for me and my Pixel 5a. I think I've narrowed it down to the Fossil Gen 6 and Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra for currently available Wear OS watching that will eventually receive the Wear 3 update. Or I might wait to see what the ton of sub-brands of Fossil come up with based on the Gen 6 platform. I would love a Skagen Falster 3, or a Diesel On Fadelite 2.

[@sethmedley5117]

I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to stay away from Fossil. I bought a Fossil Gen 5 which I had for a month. The charging rings fell off and the microphone is practically useless due to its staggering low quality. I contacted support and they said they couldn't send me a replacement but that I would have to send my watch off for at least two months while the factory decided what was wrong with it then they would call me and let me know if they were going to charge me or not. If I declined the charge then they would just send my watch back but I'd have to wait at least another month for it to arrive. So let me summarize.. I spent $200 on a $300 watch from the official Fossil web page then the watch malfunctioned and the company told me that my only option was to send it off for three months. I have to pay for shipping and repairs. I feel really slided by Fossil and won't be doing anymore business with them. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4: $114 Fossil Gen 5: $300

[@greeny5155]

Google is going to come out with a Pixel Watch soon (or at least the watch has been leaked by a phone carrier so not sure how soon it's going to come out but I'd guess pretty soon), so if you're ok with waiting then that might be the best move.

[@PeterLiuIsBeast]

Samsung apps are usually coded to use some sort of internal Samsung specific APIs. That why they can't be properly used on other devices. They need API calls that are bundled into Samsung's One UI version of Android.

[@dark5un]

Very useful since im planning on getting a Watch 4 40mm (i think thats the size you were mainly wearing and showing in the video) and use it with my OnePlus 7T (ive been using a Galaxy Watch without much issue all this time). Thanks for the super clear vid!

[@kpatt2006]

I'm ordering the watch 4 classic through verizon with a trade-in for $200 (bought a 1st gen watch active for $50) and then an extra $180 off for buying an android phone, the pixel 6 pro. I'm paying around $100 for the watch 4 classic 46mm version if you count the money spent on the used watch Active. I hate that Google didn't hit us with the double whammy of a new Pixel phone and watch. I read their newly acquired Fitbit group is working hard on a real Wear OS watch. Then I might have to sell the galaxy watch 4.

[@gnshkini]

Remote connections - calling feature on samsung phone is powerful. You can make calls from watch and receive if your phone and watch are connected to wifi ( not necessarily same ) . It's a shame that feature is not available on one plus 7. Deal-breaker for me but already bought the watch

[@pjharii]

[@christianaviles2199]

Great video. I'm currently on a Samsung phone, but I'm thinking about getting a Pixel 6, so I was very curious about this. Seems like the only critical thing really missing is the EKG and Blood Pressure monitoring which would be nice for Samsung just to add to Samsung Health App for non Samsung phones. The other features would be nice but kinda have work arounds that aren't too bad.

[@ryanjabell]

I'm in the same boat, except I AM getting the pixel 6, so I was hoping to find pretty much this exact video.

[@christianaviles2199]

@@ryanjabell I'm most likely getting a Pixel 6 Pro, on the waitlist now. Nice to see Google finally upping their hardware game. Too bad they decided to hold back on doing their own watch though. I really wish this Galaxy Watch was a no compromise Wear OS 3 device but seems close enough and still ahead of what other companies like Fossil or even Mobvoi are offering. Maybe I'm being impatient but I don't want to wait a year to have your watch start realizing it's potential.

[@ryanjabell]

@@christianaviles2199 I luckily was able to order my pixel 6 pro. I got my galaxy watch 4 classic a few weeks ago for my Samsung note 10, and am hopeful it's not gonna be too dysfunctional with the pixel. It's gonna be fine I think after this video. Was hoping for a pixel watch though, ngl lol

[@ADJ1229]

Sounds familiar. Had a Galaxy watch with my Note 9 and I just bought a pixel 6 pro. I am able to see my texts come in on my watch but I can't access them after they've been received and stored in my phone. I was hunting for what happened to my messaging app and found this video. Thanks!👍🏽

Overall it works really well would say go for it it's a really nice watch and not that limited being paired with the pixel as its only those 2 features you can't use. I'm not bothered by no ecg or blood pressure reading if I'm honest so that's no big deal for me!
