Please read this comment below onwards for steps to connect the app from your iPhone to the Gear S2. One of the fine readers of this post shared what seems to be a leaked (non-final) version of Samsung Gear Manager for iOS. Update April 14, 2016: Gear Manager iOS leak Thanks for all readers who have been following and contributing to this post. Samsung’s official Gear S for iOS has been officially released and can be downloaded here. Update January 7, 2017: Samsung Gear S on App Store At least until Samsung fulfills its promise and get Gear Manager app available in the App Store. The bad news is you cannot actually interact with it. You’ll get almost every single notification, including when you are getting an incoming call, from your iPhone on the Gear S2 screen. The default apps are very limited and you cannot add new watch faces. What’s working and what’s notĪs mentioned above, do not expect anything fancy out of your Gear S2 in standalone mode. There, you have successfully connected Samsung Gear S2 with your iPhone. Next step is to connect the watch with your iPhone via Bluetooth like you normally do with other accessories. Viola, it will open the home screen and you can start using the watch.A message will pop up and ask you do a long press, follow the instructions.When prompted to connect to Gear Manager app, tap on the small yellow icon on the top of the screen multiple times.Turns out you can bypass this process and use it as standalone mode and only running with its default apps and watch faces. Otherwise you will not be able to use it at all. Same case with Samsung Gear S2, when you turn it on the very first time it will guide you to connect it through its Gear Manager companion app. Like most smartwatches, you need to connect the device as you unbox it with a smartphone running its supporting app. Activate Samsung Gear S2 in standalone mode – bypass the activation You will not be able to use it optimally, but in my opinion better than not connecting at all with your primary phone. So the best chance to use Samsung Gear S2 with iPhone is not to connect it to the Gear Manager app (on Android) at all. Don’t ask me why the developers took this one step back. Based on reports from passionate users on XDA Developers Forums, updating to later firmware version will break this functionality. Surprisingly, the earlier version of Gear S2’s firmware allows the device to connect and communicate with iPhone out of the box. Samsung Gear S2 could connect with iPhone… before the firmware update Apple also plays a big role whether the app is going to pass on the app approval process.ĭoes this mean iPhone users are completely out of options to use the Gear S2? Not really. It is known to be less committed to deliver when it comes to software products. However, I am trying not to put too much hope regarding when Samsung is actually going to get its Gear Manager iOS app available. Apple Watch was released sooner which means it might already close to its end of life and the next generation coming soon.Gear S2 Classic is also compatible with any strap that has a standard 20mm pin.More affordable – Gear S2 Classic ($350) finishing is equivalent to Apple Watch edition (not Sport) 38mm with leather band ($650).Gear S2 uses rotating bezel for navigation vs Apple Watch’s digital crown, personally it feels more natural.Rounded bezel makes it more like you are wearing a watch instead of a gadget.There are a number of reasons why you should consider to pick this over Apple Watch: Smart move, considering this is a fine piece of device. Samsung is planning to release its Gear Manager app on iOS App Store which will officially make its latest smartwatch, Samsung Gear S2, compatible with iPhone.
