Ummm GBoard is Googles app, not Samsung's.

Have you tried the Samsung keyboard?

Hi Dolgogi I have tried the samsung keyboard and both in my phone and watch it doesn't have greek speech to text support and I wonder why do we pay top dollar on these devices instead of Apple to not have this support and intelligence. How difficult is to implement a qwerty keyboard and include greek language at the end of the day ???

There is Greek support for Text to Speech.

Open the Wear app, select Watch Settings, General.

From here, you can select Google or Samsung Text to Speech engine.

You can also tap the cog and see a list of languages, some installed other need to be installed.

Hi again , in regards to the above I did that before and when I try to open the messages app on th watch and press on the Microphine icon and try on the bottom to change the language it doesn't change.

More over when you head up into the application wear on the phone and try to select the greek language from teslxt to speech it doesn't appear selected at all not on the mobile app or the watch settings menu...

Try checking the following as well, Samsung Keyboard and also Keyboard List and Default.

As you can see, I have mine set to English and Korean.

I am able to switch between English & Korean on the watch, no problems.
Just press and hold the space bar icon and slide left or right.
