How can I download apps (such as a QR Code reader) to this watch? Does it need to be configured somehow before this is possible?

My watch came with an app called "Aptoide" I opened it and went to the search bar. From there you can enter "barcode scanner" or another title. (First you might want to check out some titles on https://play.google.com/store/apps?feature=corpus_selector & type "barcode scanner for android" in the search box to get specific titles.) When you have a title, search it in aptoide. It may not carry it & will direct you to "search other stores". Follow that & you will get a list of apps. Download then install. You might have to download intall a few before finding one that works well on your watch.

IOS is too closed of a system to allow you to pair the watch in such a way as for it to have access to your SMS. Perhaps you could if you jailbroke it, but out of the box, no.

Dear Brooke: super easy! You just connect the watch via cable and USB port to your computer. The program 'MySports' loads your information immediately online. You can also connect to another program called MyFitness. I hope this response is useful. Wiebke

The Cardio is not out yet (as of April 9, 2014) but speaking of the current model. They only have an iPhone app, however, you do not need to use the mobile app to use the watch. All the mobile app does is allow the watch to sync your workout data wirelessly, you can (as I do) just use the included USB cradle to sync your workout data. You need to plug it in to charge it anyways so it's really not a big deal.

The watch will work as a stand alone watch, but it will need an app called "Gear Manager" that is a Samsung exclusive application. The phone app is the only way for it to sync with your phone for calls, texts, email notifications etc. You can also choos from a variety of watch faces and sync your watch camery with the phone gallery.

There has to be an app installed for it to run. I am not sure if one has been written for it or not.

No SIM card was packaged with my watch. I bought a Boost Mobile prepaid SIM card for it.

No. I couldn't get the app that they recommended to use for iPhones to even work with my watch. I was hopeful, but you won't be able to receive notifications on your watch from your phone, ie no text messages on your watch.

I will scan the instructions from the pamphlet I received with my watch and I will attach a file for you to follow. I do not know if Amazon accepts jpeg images/files. rlf &lt;&gt;&lt;

The watch needs to be paired with a phone over bluetooth to work and get data.It doesn't matter what network technology the phone uses, as long as the phone has a data connection to the telecom network and the internet.

Maybe through bluetooth data transfer, just keep in mind that this is an Android powered wrist watch phone, it isn't a Bluetooth wrist watch phone accessory. :)

You can but it requires a third party app downloaded from the pebble App Store.

Yes, Grammy, Macs work fine with a free download of a very nice app called Argus. This tracks most things either due to the watch being on you or other information you give it. Print out the manual and read it carefully to get the best benefit. My wife and I like them better than some other similar efforts, because you've got the current time on you always, and you can see how much you slept last night, distance in miles (or km) traveled today, calories you have burned today, and your total number of steps. All this info is daily shared with Argus on your computer, Ipad, or Iphone, via bluetooth syncing. Playing tennis a lot this summer, I could start the Argus "tennis tracker," keep it in my pocket for three hours, and see just how far I'd traveled and calories burned. It can all be quickly charted. I know of no other device which gives you so much immediate feedback. Good luck in all your movement -- use it or lose it! Do not take it into the water or shower with you, because it's water protection is scant at best, as I saw when I changed my battery this month after having it for 9 months. Enjoy, Kevin Wulff, Cincinnati.

U should have a clamp like looking charger. On the back of the watch there are 4 pin holes. The clamp fits into the 4 pin slots. U can either plug it into a computer or into an electrical outlet.

Take off the back of the watch and you will see the place for you to insert the card. You have to buy a SIM card. It is not included with the watch.
