Syncing contacts from Samsung Gear S3 watch to new Galaxy S9

[Android Central Question]

I asked a question about this last week. My old Samsung S7 was dead, all the contacts from it were still on the Gear S3 watch, and I wanted to get the contacts from the watch to the new phone. After hours searching the internet and on with Samsung to no avail, I found the answer here:

It describes an app for the Gear S3 that exports contacts, such that you can transfer them to your PC. I tried it last night to great success! Hope it helps someone else!
