I think the purchase has to be for $5 or more to register. Also, be cautious about checking the Gear app to view transactions. If it says "Tap here to start using Samsung Pay" - don't. It will reset your cards and you'll have to re-enter them again. I finally learned this trick after reloading...

Don't bother trying to set up Pay on your S3. After the FOURTH time having to reload my cards on the Gear Pay, I just gave up. It's a gimmick that doesn't work and is more trouble than it's worth. I should clarify...it works when the cards aren't spontaneously removed.

I'm sitting at the computer with Activity Other waiting for it to say I've been performing it for 45 minutes. I had a 45 minute workout earlier today but can't for the life of me see where I can go in and add it in the app or on the Gear S3. Is it possible or is it just you don't get to log it...

Just a quick update... I reset my watch, enabled Samsung Pay, and downloaded the black onyx watch face and see only 1-2% loss per hour. I noticed that Wi-Fi was on auto, so I didn't change that. I turned on location services, but didn't download Here We Go yet. Even running sleep as android...

I forgot to answer your original question... it's the BT model.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll try that today to see rather than unloading one at a time. Last night, I set Wi-Fi to only be on when the phone is out of BT range. I had Sleep as Android running even after my last change and it went from 99% just after charging at 11:24 pm to 80% at 8:32...

I bought it off someone that only used it three times, but I did fully charge it as soon as I got it. The first full day it lasted longer. I'm wondering if turning on Wi-Fi or location services is a bad idea now. I'll find out...

Thanks. Immediately after doing that, it went down only 3% in an hour, but then it dropped from 61 to 16 in about 4.3 hours, which is about the same rate as before. Samsung told me i might try disabling Wi-Fi and voice activated s voice and then see if a refresh at best buy works. If it...

I can't find how to restart the watch outside of doing a factory reset.

Yeah, I force stopped it before charging it.

Update: I charged it to 100%. Interestingly enough, the wireless charger never turned green. In a little over an hour it's down 12% with minimal usage. The battery usage according to Samsung gear is the Samsung Health app. I have not been active today. This is one of the reasons I wanted...

I completely missed the battery section. On my gear app it's just a circle with a percentage. It shows stopwatch at 23%. Huh

I bought this watch a couple days ago. It seemed to hold its charge well but some app or function I enabled must be draining it terribly. I charged it to 100% last night at about 11 PM. Nine hours later at 8 AM, it alerted me that it was at 10%. I like the idea of using it for sleep...

I'm in the same boat as you. I ordered through "Worst" Buy on 4/7, picked up and selected the $99 bundle early on 4/21 (earliest "Worst" Buy would allow) and went through two rejections before being approved, but unsure if it's still the $99 bundle or if I got downgraded. I'd be fine with them...

I have pronounced tint on the top, left, and right edges. The bottom is slight, but barely noticeable. It comes in about 1/8" from the left and right edges and 1/16th from the top. The hue on the left is deeper than the top and right. Best Buy told me it's not defective, so I'm waiting on the...
