What's the point of having android on a watch? When you get no Facebook messenger or Signal notifications? No Gmail app, no WhatsApp app (at least you get notifications for both) No Google assistant, No browser... 

This watch offers you no more than 50 EUR Chinese fitness band. Totally disappointed I am bringing it back to the store. This is not what you expect when you buy an ANDROID smart watch. This is not a smartwatch it is a fitness band. However the marketing suggests you like it was a smart watch, like Apple watch however it is not, it is just an overpriced fitness band.

I get FB, messenger and Gmail notifications. Why do you need a browser on your watch? I actually don't even use mine for fitness.

@userv7msOqdtX9 I have a Gear S3, a Galaxy Watch 3 and now a Galaxy Watch 4. I still get the same notifications and same capabilities that I had with the previous watches.

I am sending mine back as it doesn't work with the Note 20 Ultra and is a huge disappointment, no gmail app, not Facebook, no Instagram can't receive any notifications of any kind not even messages! Very limited apps in the store as well.
Will stick with my Galaxy Active 2 with Tizen!

@user1TfutVARn0 "I am sending mine back as it doesn't work with the Note 20 Ultra..."

That is incorrect.

Installed my Galaxy Watch 4 with my Note 20 Ultra unlocked on AT&T and everything is working fine.
