Smartwatch Thread (news/apps/updates)

I wouldn't call that gap large. Looks perfectly normal to me.

Well as i said its a personal thing, it looks and i say looks a larger gap than previous watches lol.

Can anyone confirm if the Galaxy Watch will work on non-Samsung phones without having to sign into a Samsung account? And if so, do you lose any functionality for not signing into a Samsung account?

 

[steve5424]

You need a Samsung account to set the watch up. So it can't be used with out one.

I wonder if the fact that the GW4 didn't launch with Google Assistant is because it's been broken for months and it wouldn't go down well with reviewers ?

It states in T&Cs that it can't be used for hardware or certain subscriptions.

That's a hell of a lot of apps for £50.

I want to use my £75 against a 1 year disney+ sub, but not sure if its possible.

Yeah I know, I was just being a little sarcastic toward Samsung.
Google play credit is not going to be any use to me, now a £75 Samsung store voucher would be a different story. I'm probably going to use the voucher to buy books for the Mrs lol.

You can use your Google Pay balance for contactless, in-app, or online payments anywhere Google Pay is accepted.

Turds didn't check that

I'm holding out for it coming to the UK in due time as I have about £100 in rewards as well as the £50 voucher. Not really got anything to spend it on otherwise.

Just for information - the voucher code when it arrives has a 30 day expiry. So if your plan is to try and offload it, you've got a limited window to do so.
It also says, on redemption, that the credit will expire after 12 months. However, on checking my Google account (redeemed two £75 vouchers yesterday) my credit will expire 1/9/2023.

Where do you go to check that?

I went into Play Store>Payments & Subscriptions>Payment Methods.
Says: Google Pay balance £150 - Expiring on 01/09/2023.

Although strangely, below that it says:

Expiring within 1 year: £150.00

 

[here2018]

Thanks.

Very naughty put an expiry date on the amount. I'll never spend £100 on apps in a year.

 

[steve5424]

Anyone know if its possible to add personal notifications and ringtones to the watch?
