Please prioritize Android support!

+1

It´s a BIG issue that this watch is only supported by iOS, I really hope that Garmin will prioritize this issue as Android now is bigger (and better...) than iOS

so now the problem is not garmin, but android.
garmin generate a hardware with BLE but the android devices didn't have BLE...only last year some one like S3,S4, N4 and N5 have this type of bluetooth with low energy request. just for this the SO android didn't have any application to use it. Now with kit kat 4.4 android have this possibility...

Android support for anything would be a good start. Oregon series (with are not BTLE, just plain old BT) also has 0 android support as well.

+1 on Android support!!

I'm sorry to tell you this folks, but even if the android devices now have got BTLE support there are issues. No standardized protocols for notifications and BTLE implementation makes it hard for a developer to make it work on all androids with the minimum hardware requirements. The strict policy set by Apple in iOS come in handy for a change.

What's wrong with the API guide published by Android?
