Does the Gear S smartwatch work with LG v10 smartphone?
I have a Note 4, but I am switching from AT&T to Verizon and have to get a new phone.
I'm liking the LG v10, but not sure if it will work with my Samsung Gear S.
As long as I can get text messages/vibration via Bluetooth, I'll be happy.

Supposedly the Gear S2 will work with non Samsung phones but I've not read any success stories with the og Gear S.

That method pushes text messages?
Good to know if so.
