I was very shocked that my watch Samsung Gear SM V -700 does not work with this phone Samsung galaxy S21 5G Ultra. I tried to have them in perfect form for many years. I needed them for my job and now I have to throw them in the trash $ 324.00. I tried to contact the Samsung, but they only gave me a message that there is no more app for my watch since they are of the old model.

I get that but the watch no longer works with my Note 3. Normally an app is frozen at the last supported version and it will still operate with devices it is compatible with. Samsung forces an update to the Gear Manager which works with the Gear watch to the 2021 version of the Wear app and thus breaking the watch.
Hopefully someone will figure out a way around the auto update.
