My Fossil Gen 5 running Wear OS 2.26 does not get an internet connection tethered from the Wear OS app on the Android phone. It is always connected to the Wear OS app on the phone via Bluetooth, sync always working and all notifications get routed to the watch but all apps on the watch that require an internet connection (Google Play Store, Assistant, Shazam, Alexa.....etc) do not work unless I enable Wifi on the watch to any Wifi access point.
My old Huawei Watch 2 was always internet connected via the Bluetooth connection to the Wear OS app. Can anyone please help with a fix?

So I am working on making a custom Launcher for my N7 to be installed into my dash of my car. One simple thing I am trying to do is tether the internet from my Galaxy S4 via bluetooth to my N7. It has worked once, though now my N7 will refuse to make the internet option stay connected. Anyone have any ideas why? Maybe my S4 is blocking it?
I have been using an old Nokia for bluetooth tethering and the app BlueVPN on my N7. I haven't had any issues with the connection dropping. Does Samsung provide their own software for bluetooth tethering?
I do know that as of now, there are various apps that do not detect an internet connection when you're only connected through the bluetooth method I use due to a bug, for example the browser works fine but you cannot download apps from the market unless you are also connected to wifi.
Is it possible for Android Wear to obtain internet access through bluetooth tethering? I keep my watch paired with my android device, but I prefer to use my blackberry as my primary phone.
Wear manager flat out doesn't work on bb10, even after removing play services from the app or installing a patched play services. My only other option would be to run apps natively on the watch and let them obtain internet access through my blackberry's bluetooth connection.
I can pair the two devices over bluetooth, but my blackberry reports that Wear isn't using the tether. I have been searching the internet for days looking for any information, but finally gave up. Any help would be appreciated.
Which watch? Why not wifi tether instead?

Can't tether over WiFi when your watch doesn't have WiFi.
Gear 2 Neo w/ Android Wear 5.1.1
i am searching and thinking of a similar solution for iPhones and Gear 2 (-:
After the initial pairing process, how useful is an Android wear watch without a phone attached? Could I sideload an apk and run it without it being connected to the phone? Could the watch still connect to Wi-Fi?
Thanks in advance.
You can download and install standalone apps. The Wi-Fi connection is for connecting to the phone further than range of Bluetooth. So it's not like regular Wi-Fi to connect to the internet. But standalone games etc will work.

I can't figure out where to begin.
I've got a Fossil Q Founder 2.0 w/Android Wear 2.0.0.152767911, connected to an iPhone 7 running iOS 10.2.1 and Android Wear 2.3.19.
Connectivity has always been flaky. Sometimes I need to force-kill the app on the phone and restart. Sometimes the watch says it's disconnected, but it's still getting message and such. Sometimes the watch doesn't want to connect to the house Wifi.
But now, and I think simultaneous with the upgrade to Wear 2.0, the default Weather app doesn't work.
It says it Could Not Determine Location (and this while it says it IS connected to the phone.)
I installed AccuWeather from the Play Store. Same deal.
Where do I start looking?
Everywhere I've thought to look for "allow app to access location info", it's already been yes.
I have the same problem with the weather location.
I'm on Huawei Watch and iPhone 7 Plus.
I cannot keep my watch connected to my 6s Plus for anything...I've tried numerous resets of the phone and the watch, everything is peachy for like an hour, then it disconnects on the watch and the phone. Reconnecting doesn't seem to help
IPhone 7/Huawei Watch. Android Wear 2.0. Wifi and bluetooth stable. Everything seem ok. Weather is working.
Anyone figure this out yet?
When Wear OS connects to my watch how is it doing that? Bluetooth or WiFi? It says to click on watch name but it never shows up so they don't connect. Not sure if I'm doing someting wrong or there is a problem with Wear OS. I have the latest version of Wear OS and i'm trying to connect to a Galaxy S4 Classic watch. Any help woudl be appreciated.
