Missing apps

[Androiduseronetwothree]

got my Gear Sport today, I was initially pretty stoked and I do really like the things that is does well, however there just seem to be some apps outright missing or not available on the Gear Sport.

Speedo Go - The promotion surrounding this app is what made me buy this watch. Yet it is no where to be seen on the store. Majorly disappointing. Installing Speedo Go on your phone just results in a 'cant connect' message.

Gear for Nest - Not on the store, was looking forward to using this.

Uber - Not there either...

Some parts of the store are complete barren, most ironically when you go to the app store and go to the 'Health and Fitness' section it is completely empty... good going for a health and fitness focussed watch...

Yea, it's definitely an issue. I have a Google Pixel XL and I'm missing a huge list of apps. Samsung Connect, Gear Navigator, HERE WeGo, Timer, Stopwatch, Uber, and others I'm sure.

Also, none of the UA apps work at all, they just crash everytime I try to open them.

I believe it's because I have non-Samsung phone, but I can't verify that. Do you have a Samsung phone?

Speedo On finally appeared in the app store. It is currently on my watch and I hope to try it in the pool today.

Negative, mine is a Nexus 6p.

Seriously considering sending mine back TBH. The Speedo partnership is what made me buy the watch, and between that being missing and it telling me I'm doing a great dynamic workout every time I drive somewhere I'm getting a bit fed up.

This is certainly strange. I downloaded Here WeGo the day I bought the Gear Sport (11/9), but can no longer find this app in the store. Not sure if it's related to some setting or software update since that date (Phone is OnePlus 3T). Hopefully the app (and the others) show up in time but I'm a bit concerned if I have to do a reset of the watch.
