Samsung Gear S3
I bought a Samsung Gear S3 watch which allows cell phone operation even if you leave your phone at home. As of now, I don't see a way to connect this device to the car's infotainment system. Yesterday, the watch did get discovered by my motorcycle's built in phone system and worked great. I can't figure out why my Benz system is not seeing the watch when many other BT devices I have around the house and the office link to it (or at least they discover it). Anything I might be overlooking??

Within 10 minutes, I answered my own question and did get it to link up. In case you do have a Samsung S3 Gear watch, go to Device Search in the Mercedes and have it looking for your watch. Meanwhile, go to "settings" on the watch, then scroll to "connections", scroll down to "mobile networks", then scroll to "network operators", then click on "find networks". Now the watch will link up to the car. You will have to quickly click on the appropriate icon on the watch ( a check mark) to accept the security passcode given by the car. Hope this helps someone if you have this watch.
