Issues with smartwatch 3

boydo1 — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 21:04:08 GMT

Hi,

Smartwatch 3 is a great device, but this is what I have noticed. It won't seem to pair my headphones and hr monitor at the same time. If the headphones are paired the HRM either hangs when pairing or when connecting the headphones are disconnected. I have tried various orders rebooting the watch etc and it just doesn't work. So offline running is out for now with music and hr data. Hopefully Sony and or Google will figure this out with an update.

I was curious to try the same thing, but hadn't gotten to it yet. What offline app were you using that utilizes a bluetooth HRM? I didn't think any of the running or fitness apps worked with an offline smartwatch yet. I know that My Track does work with the watch GPS, but I didn't think it also worked with a bluetooth HRM. Just curious.

I have the same question. I know Endomondo is supposed to support integration with a bluetooth HRM on its vanilla Android version, but not sure about its Android Wear version. I would try it if I could but I don't have a Smartwatch 3 yet; I am considering one for now.
