Is this that common? I just had to do it again last night. Apparently all you have to do to trigger this is let either the watch or phone battery go below 5%. If this is a normal thing that everyone on AW and Apple is trying to fix at the same time, I'll live with it. My question comes from...

After this weekend, I've now done 3 soft resets on my watch in 4 months because it stops remotely connecting. This in not acceptable.

It will turn on NFC when you use Samsung Pay. There are a lot of options they could add but haven't.

I don't recall being long press to change watch faces on the Gear Fit.

How did you link it to your phone the first time?

I had a Gear Fit and the options are available on that. Not sure why they didn't continue that.

I believe the way it can work is that you can connect to your phone remotely via a wi-fi connection. For instance, leave the phone at home, connect to wi-fi somewhere else and receive your notifications via the interwebs.

I don't know if you can fully disable NFC so it never comes on, but you can turn it off after using Samsung Pay and it won't turn on outside of your doing until the next time you activate Samsung Pay.

I use the watch's MST for Samsung Pay, so yes.

I've never seen that on an interstate trip, but I have had it happen while driving a forklift.

I had to restart my phone to get mine to work. I've also heard of people resetting their phone, but before you do that I've also seen where someone sideloaded a 3rd party version of the Play Store. Hopefully one of those works.

Finally . . .

It's now been 2 weeks from "completed", has anyone anywhere seen the update?

And the adventure continues. After a few days, notifications stopped showing up on the watch while it was remotely connected. After a restart, notifications came back, but 2 days later it won't remotely connect again.

You can get notifications from most apps, you just can't fully interact with the app. I get notifications from the MS Outlook app including a full email although multiple e-mails blend together. I can't send anything in Outlook from the watch.
