Not as such.
I think you can get some integration between the two but there isn't anything official.
Got mine today, not had much opportunity to play about with it yet but a few early questions..
I've set up my debit card for Samsung pay but it asks me c for a code everytime I then want to unlock it. I get the need for security but it limits the practicality of the watch. Is there a workaround or do other people only enable the lock screen even they are out shopping for example?
Is anyone using anything for maps? I would like to get directions around a city for example without having to hold my phone in front of me.
What's the best feature you are using the most?
Any tips for a new user?
It's a stunning design, blows away any previous watches I've owned. Initially I'm quite impressed and haven't really set everything up properly yet.
I turned off the need to enter a pin number but in doing so the card was "forgot" and when I turned the pin number option back on again it asked me to enter the card details all over again.
It seems to me that the need for a pin number has to be adhered to,unless I am doing something wrong myself data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Same here, when I apply the lock it requires me to re enter the card details. I guess I could set it up on a day I plan to do alot of shopping but it's hardly a simple and convenient way to replace my debit card. I think using my phone would be much simpler. Not too impressed with that, ill have to see how limited the watch is with a lock on. I suppose I'll be just viewing notifications more than interacting with them. I don't really see myself replying to texts etc via the phone.
As with all this sort of thing, I find myself trying to create a use rather than just solving a problem.
I read that having the watch loose makes it think it's taken off and requires the code. Since tightening it I've not had to enter it so in theory it should only be required in the morning
A few days in and I'm really impressed so far, it really is a lovely watch
Maybe someone can answer me a question?
Sometimes mine goes into "outdoor mode" where the brightness of the display increases automatically.
Is there a way to turn this on and off or is it just completely automatic?
Looked in the settings and cant see anything and if I try to adjust the brightness manually it says you can do that while in outdoor mode,well I didn't put it in outdoor mode so why cant I data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
In settings on my watch it gives the option of
Auto low brightness that is set to off.
I can change my brightness manually , not sure if that will help. Cant see any outdoor mode option either.
I know exactly what he means about the varying brightness, ill have to seek out that setting.
I tried mine overnight to see the sleep pattern data it comes up with. It was charged the night before so went from about 9am yesterday and by lunchtime today it was down to 16%. I have the screen set to always on so don't mind not getting the 3-4 days battery that I had seen quoted, but it would have been useful to last the full day after wearing it in bed, otherwise its fairly pointless.
Perhaps there is a better setting for overnight, or just turn off the alway on screen. Initially I was slightly underwhelmed, but after spending a few days with it, I really love the watch. Its league above the other smart watches I've previously owned. My main gripe, which I knew in advance, is the lack of integration with google for maps and google keep etc. I get why rivals don't work with each other, but all these features are fine on the S8 phone so not sure who benefits by restarting them on the watch?
Just downloaded a paid app called Gear Navigator which allows you to find a location in Google maps, then it automatically sends it to the watch. Ive not been out anywhere to test it but ill be delighted if I've solved the problem for £1.99
