Trying to read texts on a smart watch - Phone Samsung-SM-J320A

[Papersniper]

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (Samsung-SM-J320A). I have tried a few of the "smart phone" as I need to be remotely notified I received a text and email, and have that message displayed. I do not need to reply; just be able to read it. I been not been able to get any watches to receive notification although some watches did pair and connect successfully.

Does anyone have a smart watch and Samsung phone that will send texts to their watch? I'd think this is a simple thing as my phone now does that to many devices, just not these "smart watches".

Thanks.

Hi @Papersnipper
Have you tried a Samsung watch?

I have a Samsung Gear S3 watch. Texts and emails are displayed on the watch. The watch is currently paired with a Samsung Note 10+ and prior to that a Samsung S8+. The watch has performed flawlessly though both phones. It's the only smartwatch I've owned so I can't speak for other manufactures. The Gear watch has a app that runs on the phone that lets the user decide what notifications are displayed on the watch. Perhaps your communication problem between paired phone and watch needs to be addressed though it's settings. Good luck.
