Hey,

I got Huawei Watch GT (was bought for me) and the person getting it didn't know it doesn't run Wear OS.

Not that I really want Wear OS, but this "Lite OS" that Huawei released feels like a bad joke. The few notifications that show are pushed to the watch as "messages" and nothing is actually compatible.

For example:

- When I play a song on my phone it shows on the watch that I have "a message with content "Alicia Keys"", which is ridiculous.

- Messenger texts show without actually showing who's writing just a black screen with the text and no options or anything.

- When someone calls you just see hang up without even seeing who calls.

This all feels like a bad joke and looks extremely bad.

Is there anything I can do to install Wear OS on that watch or is my only option selling it? :(

I'm sure he didn't. You can't just port Wear OS to a non supported watch with only 128 MB storage and 16 MB RAM. It's more of a fitness tracker with some smartwatch features.
