I guess I should get that since I don't see any bumber cases like I have now that goes over the whole watch face. I'll get my husband one for sure.

I want this forgot I found it the other day but wish others made it cheaper and in different colors. I need it now though. I have silver one now to match my Avtive 2 it covers all over. I asked the company and they said this time around they are making 2 pieces screen protector separate which I didn't really want. But I like Spigen wish it was in stock now. I did find one more but not available for delivery until 9/8 that's sooner than Spigen. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Hybri...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6973605

This looks like the bracelet I bought for my original Galaxy Watch 46mm but then realised the new watch bands were 20mm and not 22mm, a few adjustments later and it fits the new watch, it's a nice bracelet and really looks well on the black GW4 Classic.

Will the watchfaces we had on previous watch work on the new watch since it's wear os? I asked this before also can you just restore from backup of previous watch or do you need to start over fresh?

Will not transfer. I tried. All of my old watch faces from my watch 3 said they were incompatible. Also, messages and settings would not transfer either. It's a tizen to wear os issue.

Thanks! It did say my Samsung Health and settings were restoring. Mine is doing an update now and is slow on 65% so I am waiting for it to finish to so I can finish setting it up.

I can confirm. I spent several hours setting up my Watch4, 46mm, LTE. Every watchface for the Watch 3 was written in a different OS '' TIZEN. Those are not compatible and will not transfer to the Watch 4, running a different OS -- Samsung wear OS.

And here is the real kicker! Many/most of the watchfaces in Google Wear OS will NOT run on the Watch 4, either. I tried about a dozen nice watchfaces from the Galaxy Watch Store and over half would not install on the watch 4. In fact, some even included a notice in their notes that even though tey are Wear OS, these Watchfaces will NOT, repeat NOT run on any Samsung watch of any version.

Samsung developers need to work on tweaking the OS to gain compatibility!

Very true. I tried four different ones and they download to your phone but will not install on the watch 4. I had to wait 5 hours between 4 different Verizon reps just to get LTE actived on my watch. Rough start for sure.

So only watch faces from the actual play store work? And whatever came on the watch already?

Would love the Mickey & Minnie watch face from the Apple watch on the watch 4.

From what I have seen on my watch, yes. All the ones I bought through the galaxy store are not compatible. You have to go the the play store to get faces.

Oh Ok cause I need something soon at least a screen protector if I can't find a whole case. I may have 2 settle on the 2 piece a case and protector but this watch is so much prettier than my old one I may just want a screen protector only. Just have to be careful when I am at work or out wearing it.

Nice. I ordered that spigen cover from them thru amazon on August 19th. Says delivery September 7th - 8th. I did receive my ringke 4 pack screen protector I bought from ringke thru ebay but now Samsung changed my delivery date from October 1 to September 8 for my watch so hope I get the spigen cover at same time lol.

I want this but won't be available for a month. I can't believe their isn't that many on Amazon. I like the ones that cover the whole face not a separate screen protector. But I need something soon. I go back to work Tues and I am tempted to just get a Zagg at Best Buy if they have it and use it for now. They threw in a free one when I got my opened box A2 but then I saw the bumper cases and ended up using it. Ringke makes one too but I think you still need a screen protector but they only have black the clear is sold out.

Yeah, at least samsung health data transferred.

 

[felloffthetruck]

I'm not liking the first review on Amazon for this protector

Anybody here get this protector yet?

 

[Rose4uKY]

I almost ordered a cover I found on Amazon like the Spigen one that won't be available for a while it's like a clear bumper case but of course I never heard of the company and it's new so no reviews but it said I could get by Friday. Than I went to look again and the date changed to the 7th through the 11th. But I need something. I go back to work tomorrow and need to be careful.

 

[felloffthetruck]

Yea, I need a screen protector ASAP and don't know what to order :-\
