I called Samsung today and told them what happened. I asked if they can at least give me the promo price for the Watch 6 Classic that was offered when I bought the S24. They are going to email me if that is possible.

I have the same issue with my 2week old Galaxy S24 phone which will not work with my perfectly good Gearfit watch.  I called Samsung to see if they would honour the 50% off Galaxy watches which was offered at the time of purchasing the phone and they said no.

Completely lousy customer service, they take NO responsibility for the **bleep** they put us through! I'm an IT consultant, should i invoice Samsung the time i've  spend on the problem they caused it would be a 4 figure high amount, just for the first week! It's been four weeks now...
They offered me 20% and i would get free Buds, but i don't need buds, i use Bose QC35 & 45, and asked them to credit the buds if i returned them. They Wouldn't...

I posted a solution earlier in this post that might work for you. I refused to get a new watch, too, so I made mine work.

Thanks for the solution.  But, it doesn't always work.  I tried it 5 times and now the Gear S Plugin is not even available in the Store from my phone to install on my phone.

Sorry it didn't work for you. It looks like they removed it from the store, probably because so many people are having issues with the plugin and they don't want to fix it.

If you have your old phone, check the Gear S Plugin version and try finding that version on apkpure. I checked, and they made the plugin incompatible with Android 14 on the Play Store.1708446242517.jpg1708446242535.jpg
