Galaxy Watch 7

[Pontus]

Tjena, tänkte fråga om det är någon som provat appen Drive Electric för Galaxy Watch?
Eller om någon har något annat förslag på hur man bäst använder klockan med bilen.

I have the app on a Watch 5 Pro. At least in my case, do not expect the same flawless functionality you have with the phone. Sometimes you need to manually launch it to have the "key" function working properly. Also, but that's me not wanting to spend too much time troubleshooting, a lot of commands are not working even if I followed the setup instructions multiple times.

In my view, it's a nice backup device to have, but a really niche one.

When it works does work as the phone?

Sorry for the late reply, some vacation

Yes, when it's working, it's like the phone.

So you could use it as the main key. And rely on it? As you can with the phone today. I wonder when tesla will release there own. It can't be far away.

I would say you can rely 99% on it. Anyway, even with the phone, in the last 5 years I always had the key card in my pocket as backup.

I bought the app Drive electric and I got it to work fine with just BLE and no other connections. Just tried to see that the car open and closes when walking to and from it yesterday.
Today it's time to see what other features there are and how reliable it is

BLE is working, but I notice that often, even if the app is running on the watch (car with a key at 6), I need to open it at full screen to unlock the car. Lock when leaving no problem.

If the BLE would stop working. Is there a way to remote start/open the car? As you can with the phone app.

You can add NFC key and I guess all commands can be sent via internet if you have esim in the watch. But so far I have not tried any of those.
The BLE can be a bit slow I noticed today. But I will try more before I say too much.

Yep, adding NFC is the way to have some redundancy. Anyway, despite the app being really good, it would be nice to see an official one from Tesla, super smooth like the phone app.

Yes I totally agree.

I have tested a bit now and it works fine, the app Drive Electric, some things to know:

- It is a bit slopw if you have your phone with you. For the function "on approach" it needs more time then just opening a door and then release the charging cable. It takes about 15 seconds. Some times faster.
- In the beginning I had some problems with the watch/app not being connected to the car and had to manually reconnect it.

Mer uppdateringar.
Tycker det fungerar bra nu 8 av 10 gånger. Har nu dragit slutsatsen att det är uppkopplingen mot bilen som bråkar när det inte fungerar. Tror inte det är bilens fel utan antingen klockan eller appen. Det brukar behöva lösas genom att starta appen på klockan och koppla klockan igen genom reconnect eller som en gång då jag behövde lägga in den virtuella nyckeln på nytt.
På det stora hela är jag nöjd.
