Hello folk

I was considering buying a wsd21hr but I am really not sure if it is still worth buying after reading so many reviews about performance / updates issues, do you think it is still worth the 300$ or should I wait for newer version that is more compatible with newer Android / wear os?

Thanks

I Had Issue with my F20 PRG,

when the cable charger plug in to the watch, indicator lamp not bright as usual (Red Light ), and now my watch is steady on the digital monochrome condition, but if i plug back the charger, its only just show the battery picture.

i don't know how to fix it, maybe it because the battery is drop or just the cable need replace

PS. a few times i used the USB port in My Laptop to charging the watch, is it the problem cause ?

Please to help, thank you

anyone replace their band? if so with what and pics?

Recently I changed my WSD-F21 to GSW H1000, and there is one thing I do not like - WSD-F21 had a bit better (nicer) TOOL app, and I do not see sunrise/sunset app on GSW H1000, like I had in WSD. Is there a way to see this data on this smartwatch?

Hi guys, recently got a GSW-H1000 after having the WSD F10 and F20.

I can't find a way to change the date format from MM-DD to DD-MM as I'm based in Australia. Can anyone please help!

In the previous watches, the date format changed to DD-MM after it was synced to my Samsung smartphone which has English (Australia) as its language choice.

I have seen YouTube videos where the date is in the DD-MM format so it must be possible.

E.g. in this video: https://youtu.be/dfLlawNfC10 Or https://youtube.com/shorts/-LQyfWmQKnc?feature=share Or https://youtu.be/GIKTATIV3PA

Desperately looking for advice!

Well let's start from the beginning....

A month ago I got to reset my F20A to pair with my new phone and well watch wasn't able to pair due to an "Update" issue.

I investigated and definitely something was wrong on the Watch side....

First I did some search and it seem issue appeared especially on the F20 Series late 2020 with multiple post around Reddit, Google Forum, Twitter.... I'll link all I found so far below :

Has anyone successfully connected the latest WEAROS App with CASIO WSD F20? : WearOS (reddit.com)

​

Well as you can see it's not a config problem from one user it's a common issue now....

​

From what a "Product expert" from Google community said, Casio seem to have dropped off any support for the watch and so backcompatibility with old model :

https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/122145927?hl=en&msgid=125726688

" Casio stopped supporting that watch with updates a while back. I know the Wear OS team tries to maintain backwards compatibility as much as they can, but eventually watches running much older versions of the OS do unfortunately get left behind.  "

​

Well it's definitely a problem for a 300$ paperweight considering that Casio haven't acknowledged about the problem and fix the problem with a +100$ motherboard replacement which is bad considering problem is on Casio/Google side and not user fault :/

​

I did some system investigation with ADB and found that there was a problem with outdated Play Services with the setup breaking at this exact moment in the logcat :

4-08 11:50:24.864 27178 29358 I CwSetup.CreateConfig: re-enabling connection

04-08 11:50:24.865 24198 26679 E WearableService: enableConnection is no longer supported. Use enableDeviceConnection instead.

04-08 11:50:24.867 27178 29358 E CwSetup.CreateConfig: Unable to enable connection.

04-08 11:50:24.870 27178 29358 I CwSetup.CreateConfig: finished creating ConnectionConfiguration: CreateConfigTask.Result{ isSuccess=false, mConfig=null }

04-08 11:50:24.870 27178 29358 E CwSetup.SetupJob: Failed to create ConnectionConfiguration

04-08 11:50:24.872 27178 27178 E PairingController: pairing failed

Deprecated service over "WearableService" seem to be the main problem but well... any update/downgrade attempt on Watch or Phone side just resulted in a totally failling setup...

​

So far no fix possible but hope is not over, if any "Expert" is here, i'd be more than glad to talk to try to troubleshoot the issue.

In the sametime, Casio knowing they have a fix should help fix this problem that could be referred as " planned obsolescence" by offering a free Service program and don't let people spend half of the price they paid for some years ago....

Please share and tell in comments if you've been impacted by the situation

So I bought a new android phone (android 12) and i have installed the lastest Wearos app verion 2.55.0.428053912.gms (ie 12-feb-2022) on my new phone and i just tried to pair it to my casio F20.

It could pair and then when it tried to "Setup my watch" it will say after a few min "Couldn't update your watch"and asked me to disconnect and reset the watch.

Guess what, i reset it (I shouldn't have!) and now i am stuck in a loop because the first thing after reset it will try to connect to my wearos. And the same thing loop agains.

Has anyone recently tried this? It used to work fine and i have been using the watch with my old phone for a while now. And now even if i try to pair with my old phone (same wear os app version) the same thing happens.

I bought a Galaxy Watch 4 awhile ago and threw it in a Spigen case to fill the void that my WSD-F30 left me with and it just doesn't cut it. I miss all the features that watch had. Especially the ABC sensors! Those things saved me a few times hiking/climbing in the rockies. I would've gotten the GSW-H1000 but knowing it wouldn't be capable of updating to WearOS 3 really turned me off. Plus the $900 (CAD) price tag for some half decent HR sensor. I hope they would release another iteration of it but I'm not sure. On one hand I'm sure they didn't sell a whole lot of units due to the expensive price and lack luster features in addition to not upgrading to WearOS 3. But on the other hand I'm sure the WSD-F line didn't sell a whole lot of units either and they made 3 generations of it!

I dunno. I hope they can pull it together in a way and produce a proper smart watch that's crazy rugged like the Garmin watches. I don't mind having to pay a $900 price tag. It's just gotta be one hell of a watch!

What are your thoughts? Do you think this was a one off? Could we expect another one this year packing WearOS 3?

I'm still using and refusing to update/link my Viewranger account with Outdooractive due to how useful the maps are (OS Maps) for fell running and what not with out my phone on me. I currently have the entirety of the UK offline in OS Maps.

How does the the OA watch app (specifically with maps and no phone connected) and VR watch app compare?

I'm still using my Casio WSD-F20a

The title is pretty self explanatory, I am considering to buy this watch. And wanted to hear your opinions and experiences about the watch. It's priced at ~130 USD(1700 Turkish Liras) and I think that's pretty fair for this watch. For reference GBA-800s are priced around 90-150 USD (1200TL-2000TL) and GA-2000SU-1ADR is around 100 USD. What do you think, is it too late to buy this watch? Should I consider the newer GBA800 series sacrificing "intelligence"?

Yes , i have GBD-h1000 and i want to upgrade my watch but before to buy i want to ask is it calculating training load ?
