Gear S with LG V10

[Marytattoo]

I want to get a V10 tomorrow (11/28). Will my Gear S currently paired with my Note 4 work with the LG V10?

The new LG V10 is a great device choice!  I also want to ensure your devices are compatible for use.  Which model Gear S watch do you currently have?  You can check device models compatibility for the Gear S here: http://vz.to/1TipUt4 in the “Specs” section.

The simple answer is no.  The Gear watches are only compatible with Samsung smartphones.

Your answer is confusing because the specs list Samsung-only phones. I'd heard some ppl were able to use the Gear S with the LG V10. I'm trying to find out who's right

[Marytattoo]

Was referring to the Verizon rep's answer above.

[mama23dogs]

Your Samsung phone has an application for pairing with the Gear that will not work with the LG phone.

I Suggest you do more research  the app has been usable on non Samsung phones.

It's not on the list as being so, but neither was this person's:

Gear s2

Towards the end they offer up on how they got the app on their device.

Mine is not the S2. Just the S.  I've seen some day the S will work and some who say it won't. I'm still paying on the line for the S.

Ohhh. Yeah, the S is Samsung only. You could sell the S, see if someone will take over the line and get the S2 - but even then not a sure deal it will work with the new device either.
