Sony xperia1 won't pair with smartwatch2

[Yaserx]

Hi there, 

I have got the xperia1 smart phone recently. I do have samrtwatch2 from past. I have tried to pair them together and didn't work, it's required application to run complete pair. The problem is the application is not exist in Google play anymore. I was wondering if there is a patch or something like that. Help please

Thanks

@Yaserx  you could try to sideload SW2 app from here, however full compatibility is not guaranteed as the app has not been updated for years.

Hi Alexodon, 

Thanks for letting me know. I have downloaded and as you mentioned full compatibility won't apply ! I asked Sony customers support and no valid soulation and no  Compensation.

Thanks again

Following on from this, I could not get my SmartWatch 3 to properly sync with my Xperia 1. Although it did work, (with a sideloaded watchfaces APK that is no longer in the Play store) there were a number of apps that would not properly sync. So I could never get Maps to install on the SW3, although it had worked fine with my previous XZ Premium. The main reason seemed to be that in WearOS 2 (current) apps are installed from the Play store on the watch. However the SW3 is stuck on WearOS 1, and there is no way to force certain apps to install on it.

So I bit the bullet and bought a Ticwatch Pro - which is brilliant...
