So, I have a GEAR S and of course I want to hear the music or even make phone calls without anyone listening in.
So I thought GEAR Circle is a supper solution and part of the concept. Well, that concept is not money making and what the user needs. What the developers have thought when they have the GEAR HOWTO for GEAR Circle incompatible. I mean, both devices have Blotooth and can theoretically connect to multiple devices. Since you had to make an effort so that both do not match. If you have already made so many efforts, deliberately to separate these two devices (Marketing), hättre you at least need to write Attention: not compatible with GEAR S (which are shown in the advertisement, together with Circle).
Why To Buy a GEAR S or Cricle? Thus one does not have to carry around to jog the mobile phone.
For GEAR S fits a headphone (think of advertising), such as GEAR Circle ... and everything is perfect ... well, everything would be perfect.
Now watch out.
Thus, the independent from Mobile GEAR S, telephone calls can take over the Circle, the Circle must (not GEAR S) remain near the smartphones (WFK ???). Then GEAR S is still the smartphone dependent, or want to listen to the music via the headset you?
On the music (which you have transferred to GEAR S) can be dispensed with, because Circle only transmits music from your smartphone. Calls can lead you through GEAR S, but you have to shout directly at the clock, the others listen with.
That is, instead (plus headphones) to carry one device for jogging, you must now drag the smartphone + GEAR S + Circle.
It is one and the same manufacturer ... In advertising everything looked different.
I'd prefer the developer (marketing department) Circle around his neck, Gear S smack on the hand and push the Smartpfone in A..ch and march jogging and the promotional film so again turn (correct version)
I am considering to give back about both devices.
