Galaxy Tab S8 pairing with Galaxy Watch and Gear fit 2 Pro

[K0011]

May I know why I cannot pair any of my Galaxy Wear to Tab S8? Come on Samsung, don't do this to your users who are locked into your ecosystem!

Not cool Samsung! When I can easily paired my Mi watch with Tab S8 and NOT Samsung watches!

Pls Avinash, do some research before you post the suggested steps. Consult your L2 support or engineering and provide feedback to make this works please! There is no excuse or reason for Samsung to neglect this support, it is BT based :-(. Unless Samsung does not care about their ecosystem integrations and pushing loyal customer out of it as no more reason to buy Samsung gears! Android is open vs Apple, that's why we are in this camp. Else we just go to other vendor. Thanks for your kind but not helpful reply.

Samsung even made a video to sell the use case but it does not work! Amazing marketing gimmick https://youtu.be/S_oyrAUvuoQ

this samsung community is small vs the open internet. Let me use the instagram or twitter to get attentions from Samsung rather than this island chat group. the small noise here is a waste of time.

Yes. Why does it says that watches and bands can't be connectedto tablets? I have followed all of the advice above and my active watch 2 still couldnt connect (considering its recent release).

If theres still some software development why wasn't us informed?

Stupid Samsung, don't know why they wanted to exclude samsung watch from connecting with their wear app.
