gmail reply without wear installed?

[daves221]

just curious .. do you guys on a samsung phone without wear installed have the ability to reply to a gmail notification? Since I came from AW, I left the wear app installed on my phone (note 5) and took it for granted that I could reply to gmail emails from my watch as the gmail notification includes a reply option. However I saw in one amazon review that someone added wear to be able to do that.. so before I unisntall Wear on my phone (if I decide to), I'm trying to confirm whether I'd lose the reply capability. (and for those who want it but didn't come from wear, this maybe an interesting trick however it's not clear to me how to get past the step to configure wear without an AW device).

Thanks...
