Does the Gear S3 alert me when it can't connect to the phone?
If so, can you stop it doing this overnight, or when the watch is not being worn?
Can you make the alarms louder or more persistent if the watch is outside a certain perimiter?
I'm getting old, and occasionally find I've not taken my phone with me. It's only going to get worse.
I have a app on my phone which can be programmed to do various things when certain conditions apply. So sounding an alarm when I went more than 20 metres from my house would do the trick, if I hadn't just left my phone behind.
The author of the app solicited for enhancements. I requested two:
1. A reminder of what you were about to do when you suddenly found yourself in a different room.
2. A warning that you'd just gone out the front door, to go shopping, but you'd left your wallet behind.
Their response? "It will be in the next release sir!". Don't you just love developers with a sense of humour?
Solved! Go to Solution.

What is the name of the app or does this come std on the S3? I am an iPhone guy now but considering switching teams. I to am getting older and I put my phone down sometimes. I need something that will remind me to go back and get it BEFORE I get to far away. Thanks, GG

Hi Swifty,
My s3 vibrates twice when i get out of bluetooth range, a watch then appears at the top of the S3. This watch is to tell me that there is no connection and my watch is just a watch. That reminds me if i have left my phone at home.
To turn this on: - Go to 'Setting' on your S3 > 'Connections' > then turn on 'Alerts Recieve BT disconnection alerts.'
Let me know if you need anymore help.

It's not an app, it's an inbuilt feature...

I wish there is option for extended alarm. The current alert is so short where I didn't notice most of the time . It would be nice to have this alert like timer alarm, which I never missed.
