Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 w/Pixel 2 and Android 10

[bigterp]

Hi all. Wanting to pick up the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, but have been reading a few conflicting reports about the ability of the watch and/or Galaxy's Wear app having issues on Android 10. I'm running Android 10 on a Google Pixel 2. Can anyone confirm/deny the ability of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and the Galaxy Wear apps to work with my setup? Thanks!!

The issue was fixed a week or so after Android 10 was released to Pixels. Everything works now between my Pixel 2 and Gear S3 Frontier.

There was a workaround posted in one of the forums that worked for me. Then the update to the Gear S Plugin came the following day.

Cool. Thanks for the response!! I read about the workaround involving the Galaxy Wear app and uninstalling all Samsung apps, reinstalling them, etc., etc. Was hoping to avoid doing all of that (I have Smartthings). But it sounds like everything should work as intended now with Android 10? No more need for workarounds?

Picked up a Galaxy Watch Active 2 on Friday. Seamless integration with my Pixel 2 running Android 10. Really liking the watch so far.

Did you get the LTE version? I got the Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE version and it works fine just it won't let setup the mobile network (eSIM). Is says not compatiable.
