Yeah that's odd, have you tried calling Samsung support? My phone updated the Gear app and it connected in seconds. It was a little confusing figuring out the calling piece, because they try to get you to activate it to be able to physically make calls from the phone I guess. Like they gave me a dial in to activate from the phone and every time I boot it up it asks if I want to do it again. But once you connect to Bluetooth it reads texts, emails etc. It also ports over all of your saved wifi connections, so it instantly connected to our home network when I turned off Bluetooth. The S-voice activation is just as good as it is on the S7 which is pretty incredible...you can talk to text back from the phone. Heart rate and steps monitor with a flick of your finger...I will say that I'm always skeptical of technology convergence because so many companies do it wrong, but this device imo was pretty clearly thought out and seamless.
