I am looking for an Android smart watch (or other wearable) that works with the Oticon Real 1. Does anybody have any experience here? Apple is not an option for several reasons.

Sorry, it is my understanding that the watch 
app is an apple exclusive offering.

Excuse my naïveté … I can’t just run the phone (Android) app on an Android watch? Does the app know which device it’s being run on?

My understanding is that android phones watches don’t work with Oticon, that is the reasonthat is the reason I hadwhich is why I had to get an iPhone.

Hot Springs Village, ArkansasThe android smart watchs don’t connect to the Oticon aids. I wear the Samsung watch and have Oticon INTENT1 aids.

The watchOS app is specifically designed for a watch. It is effectively just a remote control. It doesn’t include all the features of the mobile app.

Thanks for that information. Interestingly, Oticon lists the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 as compatible - but compatible in which respect? Hearing aids compatibility | Oticon10

I don’t know I have the Galaxy watch 5 and my wife the 6 and my aids don’t recognize either. Abs neither does the app.

Wives always have the one level up tech, don’t they? Same with us.
So, according to the website I linked, as I understand it, you can connect to the watch using the Connect Clip. But why would I want to stream from my watch using the connect clip when I can stream from my phone directly? I don’t understand this. What I do understand is that this watch (and anything other than the Apple Watch) won’t do what I would like it to do. And since Apple is not an option for various reasons, I will just live with it.

If you were out exercising without your phone, it might be nice to stream to the from the watch.
My main wish with be program and other similar controls i get in my app.

Same here. My non-assisted hearing is sufficient to listen to music without the while I’m exercising, so I can use anything from a 1980s walkman to a little MP3 player with earbuds or whatever. I don’t need anything special and I try to keep the HAs as dry and away from sweat and rain as possible.
Hope somebody from @oticon reads this forum!

I think you read the page too fast. It does say that, but it also says you need a Connect Clip. The web page is correct.

He found out that he would need the ConnectClip.

The issue isn’t Oticon the issue is the smart watch design.

Probably from remote control by the watch, not playing media or calls without an assistive intermediary device. I think I recall @cvkemp mentioning he used a watch in some regard like that at one point.

I have the Samsung watch 5 and the only way my INTENT aids will connect is with the connect clip. And no remote control accept by the way of the connect clip.

I don’t have enough of a technical background to confirm this, but since no manufacturer seems to support non-Apple smart watches there might be an issue with the protocol.

This issue is the neither apple or android has the needed protocol s to stream from their matches to the Oticon aids, but atleast the apple watch can control the aids.and the companion app works on the apple watch as long as the phone is connected to the aids.
