Using Bluetooth LE between Galaxy Watch 7 and smartphone

Hello,

I am developper and I’d like to create an application for Galaxy Watch 6 or 7 and an Android application for an Android 13 smartphone, to exchange data between the watch and the phone.

I’d like to use Bluetooth LE or Bluetooth classic to send/receive data between the 2 devices because I want to avoid :

  • using google play API to exchange data between my watch app and my phone app
  • pairing the device using Wear OS app instead of bluetooth pairing using the devices Bluetooth settings

Could you tell me please if this way to exchange data is still possible on Galaxy Watch 6/7 or if have no choice and have to use google play API in my developpment?

Thanks for your help

Hi Mithrandir,
#Currently the only way to send data from Galaxy Watches is using Data Link Layer API.
