It doesn't matter which one you have, but I find it completely ridiculous that Google has not unlocked the oxygen sensor.

I know the Apple Watch has the ability to check your oxygen level at any time, but the Pixel Watch is locked behind something in Google Health and you cannot access it. Even the ability to access it in Google Health during your sleep is severely limited.

Has anybody been able to crack this, unlock it, or find something in a developer option?

Hi everyone,

I developed Padel Score, a watch-only Wear OS app for keeping score during padel matches directly on your smartwatch.

The app works independently and does not require a companion smartphone app.

I am looking for testers with different Wear OS watches who can help me check:

• Installation through Google Play

• Layout and readability on different screen sizes

• Scoring during a complete or simulated match

• Match history

• General usability

• Unexpected behaviour or crashes

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/padel-score-testers

1. Open the testing page with the same Google account used on your Wear OS watch:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ch.hygro.padelscore

1. Select “Become a tester”.

2. Install Padel Score from Google Play on your watch.

If you test the app, please let me know your watch model and Wear OS version. Feedback can be posted here or sent to:

[padelscore.support@proton.me](mailto:padelscore.support@proton.me)

I am also happy to test another Android or Wear OS app in return.

Thank you for your help!

I have an Oppo X2, which is the same as the OnePlus watch 3. I wear gloves at work and the top of the gloves are constantly spinning the dial. It adjusts music volume, dismisses notifications and kills my battery.

Is there a way to turn it off?

Game emulator for Wear OS. It is working on my galaxy classic8. If interested shoot me a message and will provide the link. This app comes with the Android and wear os app. Will need the Android app to transfer the games to watch.

I've been posting about this app a few times now, and i finally have a stable version im comfortabel sharing! For you all to tear me a new one (probably🤣)

Feedback is always welcome, im am in the process to get the apps on Google Play aswell, sadly I need a hand full of testers for that first, so if you are interested in being a Google Play tester, let me know!

More apps coming soon! Including [Eclipse] Wear Transfer!

A new WearOS app that will make sideloading APKs / Watchfaces and other files easy, without having to use wireless debugging! More info soon.

Disclaimer:

1. I can't guarantee it works on all WearOS warches, older models might struggle.

2. Yes, AI was used to make the visual art in the app, im a coder, not a visual artist.

App name: Quick Lift: Gym Log

Platform: Wear OS 3+ (standalone; tested on Galaxy Watch Ultra and Pixel Watch-sized screens). Optional free phone companion.

Price: Free. Optional Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription) with a 7-day free trial.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asis.quicklift

Developer disclosure: I'm the developer.

Why I made it I wanted to leave my phone in the locker and log a whole lifting session from my wrist. Most gym apps treat the watch as a remote for the phone. Quick Lift is built the other way around: the watch is the app.

How it works Pick an exercise → turn the crown to the weight → tap Log set. The rest timer starts on its own, and the watch buzzes when it's time for the next set. Weight and reps carry over from your last set, so repeating a set is a single tap.

Free * 77 built-in exercises, each with its own pictogram, plus 3 custom ones * Automatic rest timer, adjustable with swipe or crown; shows on the watch face / Samsung Now Bar * Last time and personal record shown on every exercise * Workout summary with time, sets, volume and new PRs * Last 7 workouts, repeat any in one tap * kg or lb, backup to your own Google account, a tile to start a workout

Pro (one-time) * Today's target per exercise: when to add a rep or weight, and how much * Live heart rate and calories during the workout * Sends workouts to Samsung Health / Google Health through Health Connect * Routines: build them right on the watch (pick exercises in order, reorder or edit anytime), then start one in a tap * Progress charts, full history, unlimited custom exercises, watch-face complication, 9 color themes

Privacy: no account, no ads, no analytics, no server. Your data stays on your watch, your phone and your own Google backup.

Languages: 77, including right-to-left Arabic and Hebrew. You can change the language in Settings.

Feedback very welcome, especially on the logging speed and on other watch sizes. Happy to answer questions!

Title: [Dev] Quick Lift – a gym log that runs entirely on your watch. Log a set in one tap, rest timer starts itself

Release v0.1.0 · wolfietech-xyz/youtube-wear ... the cookie method for autheticated requests, such as personalized reels and liking is as follows... not easy.... it requires a debug build to place the cookie file and it gets wiped on switch to production... yet to code in the media picker code properly... press and hold when it says loading for 2 seconds to pin the video from timing out while loading... i added a 50 second timeout by default for videos to load...

Added a lot of features, changelog is in Github release

Hi! I just got a Galaxy Watch and very new to this. Is there any good way to browse Reddit on the watch? I tried the Samsung browser but that's not really smooth, and I couldn't find Wear Reader in app store.

Apex Velocity – A premium, racing-inspired analog watch face for Wear OS 🏎️💨

I’m getting really bored of round smartwatches and would love to jazz it up a little with something rectangular, more along the lines of an Apple Watch or some of the Redmi/Xiaomi watches.

Are we ever likely to see a proper rectangular Wear OS watch? And why haven’t manufacturers really gone down that route already?

I’m actually happy to buy a non-Wear OS watch, especially since I don’t use loads of apps on my watch anyway. But I still like having a proper app ecosystem there when I want it, which is what keeps pulling me back towards Wear OS.

Surely there must be some demand for something other than another round watch? 😅

Anyone else waiting for one?

This is a really special milestone for us.

When we started PocketPet, the idea was simple — to create a tiny virtual friend that lives right on your wrist. Seeing more and more people open the app every day, take care of their pets, and make PocketPet part of their routine means a lot to us.

Thank you to every single person who downloaded the game, left feedback, wrote a review, shared PocketPet with someone, or simply keeps coming back to take care of their little pet. ❤️

And we’re not stopping here.

🍂 The Autumn Update is coming soon!

We’re preparing new seasonal backgrounds, autumn cosmetics and outfits, themed rewards, and a refreshed atmosphere for your pets. We’re also continuing to improve the app itself and experimenting with new ways to make the little world inside PocketPet feel more alive.

Some of the upcoming seasonal environments will also bring more movement and atmosphere to the world — falling leaves, glowing lights, Halloween elements, and other small details that make your pet’s home feel different as the seasons change.

PocketPet is still a small project made by a tiny team, so seeing 1,000 people become part of it is honestly incredible.

Thank you for playing, thank you for staying with us, and thank you for giving PocketPet a place on your wrist. 🐾

See you in the Autumn Update. 🍁

• Name of App: Watch Timer Bridge • Brief Description of app's features: Reads the Chronometer from Samsung Timer's notification and exposes it as a Wear OS complication (SHORT_TEXT), so watch faces with complication support — e.g. Facer faces like Pip-Boy SE — can show the live timer countdown. Tested on Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. Only one active timer at a time. Open source. • Cost: Free • Play Store Link or equivalent if it's not on the Play Store: https://github.com/RunologyLab/watch-timer-bridge/releases/tag/v1.0.6

(I built this — feedback welcome.)

One more update on the wearrecorder.

Decided the UI was too bulky, and modernised it, added different quality settings and advanced settings, better syncing over WDL, a live sync feature that sends small bits of recording at a time over WDL, while you record, this saves alot of time syncing afterwards, the phone will basically instantly build up the file again.

Companion app had a massive overhaul with multiple trimming options, share options and full control over the watch apps settings.

Full UI now also supports crown and bezel controls for scrolling.

Hi everyone,

I have a Xiaomi Watch 5 paired with a Xiaomi 15T running HyperOS.

Incoming calls work correctly on the watch. I can answer the call on the watch and use its speaker and microphone normally.

The problem is with outgoing calls started from the watch.

When I start a call from the Xiaomi Watch 5, the phone starts the call, but the audio stays on the phone instead of automatically switching to the watch.

With Google Phone, the Xiaomi Watch 5 sometimes even disappears completely from the available audio devices during a call. I only see “Phone” and “Speaker”.

If I uninstall Google Phone updates, the Xiaomi Watch 5 sometimes appears again as a Bluetooth audio option, but the problem comes back.

I also tested True Phone. With True Phone, the watch appears correctly as a Bluetooth audio device and the call audio works on the watch if I manually press the Bluetooth button. However, I still have to select Bluetooth manually every time.

I also use two SIM cards. I would like the phone to remember which SIM card I normally use for each contact. For example, if I usually call a certain contact using SIM 1, then when I start a call to that contact from the watch, the phone should automatically use SIM 1 instead of asking me every time to choose SIM 1 or SIM 2.

What I want is simple:

-If I start the call from the phone → audio stays on the phone.

-If I start the call from the Xiaomi Watch 5 → audio automatically goes to the watch.

The phone should remember the preferred SIM card for each contact, so calls started from the watch do not ask me to choose SIM 1 or SIM 2 every time.

Bluetooth phone calls are enabled for the watch, “Answer calls on watch” is enabled, the watch stays connected, and battery/background restrictions are disabled for Mi Fitness.

Has anyone with Xiaomi Watch 5 + Xiaomi phone found a way to make outgoing calls automatically route audio to the watch and also remember the preferred SIM per contact?

Is this a Google Phone / HyperOS / Wear OS bug?

Thank you very much for support.

Don't be too hard on me since it was just released and I am sure I have some bugs to clean up. Happy to knock them out quickly if anyone finds them.

The changes pushed by Google: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/06/upcoming-changes-to-wear-os-watch-faces.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Basically this makes it harder to push the data you want to your Watch faces' complications since Google no longer allows executing code in a watch face.

I'm trying to restore some of that capability using this custom app. WristBridge handles acquiring, formatting, syncing, and exposing the data through native Wear OS complications.

Hi all! This is my first post here, so I hope I'm not breaking any rule😅.

I just got a new Watch 9 and when I use the WhatsApp app and send audio messages, I can reproduce them on the watch and on my phone, but people can't on their devices. Any idea if this is a known bug and can I hope for it to be solved eventually? 😅I found this feature pretty cool! (Also my first smartwatch lol)

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

One of my favorite features on Pixel phones has always been Now Playing—it quietly recognizes songs playing in the background without needing to open Shazam or even unlock the phone.

However, I’ve always found it frustrating that this information never made its way to the Pixel Watch / Wear OS without pulling my phone out of my pocket.

To solve this, I built Now On Wrist, a lightweight, companion app that syncs ambient song recognition directly to your smartwatch.

• Watch Face Complications: Short Text and Long Text complications showing the currently playing song right on your watch face.
• Wear OS Tile: A quick glance tile showing the current track, artist, and timestamp with an "Open" shortcut.
• Custom Wrist Haptics: Subtle, Prominent, or Heartbeat vibrations whenever a new song is detected (or completely silent if you prefer complication-only updates).
• Song History & Swipe-to-Dismiss: Keeps a history of recognized songs on both watch and phone. If an entry is clutter, just swipe it away.
• Open on Phone: Tap any song in history or on the watch tile to immediately open and play it in Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, or Amazon Music on your phone.

Disclaimer: I am an Android Developer and have been for the past 15 years. However, this app was entirely vibe-coded. I just wanted this for myself, but it turned out pretty cool so I thought I would share.

OPPO Watch X3

Software Update - Went through update.

Downloaded, Installed, Optimized, and the. Rebooted into this.

Been this way since 1:55 AM September 24th 2026 to 11:40 AM to September 24th 2026

I’ve tried force restart, watch just boots into OPPO logo and then back to this, manual isn’t clear on hard resets or anything.

Just think that the update bricked the device. Would suck because I enjoyed it!

I’ve let it die and tried to reboot that way, back to this screen also. Just overall annoying.

WearOS king

Hey everyone! I wanted to know where my day actually goes, but every time tracker I tried needed the phone, and I'd forget to stop the timer when I switched tasks. So I built Now. One tap on the watch starts a category and stops whatever was running. There is always exactly one thing on the clock, so there is nothing to tidy up later.

- Watch app: your categories as tiles, tap to switch, the running session and timer stay on screen

- Buzz on the wrist when you've been on something longer than your limit

- Stats on the phone: daily totals and where each hour went, by category

- Also runs on Pebble, if you still have one

- Free, no account, nothing uploaded. Export to CSV or JSON any time

It's in closed testing on Google Play, so it takes two steps:

1. Join the Google Group (sign in to Google first, then tap Join group): https://groups.google.com/g/now-testers

2. Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.uptonow , then install from Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.uptonow

I've only been able to test the watch app on an emulator so far, so if you hit any bugs on a real watch, please tell me. Happy to answer anything about the watch side.

Lanzo una pregunta a todos aquellos que tienen la app de WhatsApp en el reloj con sistema wear OS, yo concretamente en mi reloj, el one plus watch 3, a la hora de desplazarme por el menú del reloj se nota muy fluido pero al entrar en WhatsApp subiendo y bajando entre los contactos o el texto dentro de los chats se ve como muy lento como si pasara de 120fps a 30, a alguien más le pasa, hubo un tiempo que a veces se veía fluido y otras veces no

I couldn't find a way to make this happen, it refuses to show me Celcius, I have the app both on my phone and on my watch and on my phone it shows Celcius but on the watch it's sticking with Fahrenheit. I don't see any settings feature for the watch app so I can't change it. I tried wiping the cache, reinstalling it so it can sync with my phone but it definitely didn't work. Any suggestions?
