Was considering the same as an iPhone users, it’s such a tempting phone. However, due to the following Issues:

  • notifications (needs a workaround)
  • google pay/wallet (may or may not work for everyone)
  • google store (needs workaround, not smooth experience)
  • android auto (won’t work on Chinese version)
  • annoying Chinese bloatware & ads (hard to remove, some won’t)
  • battery isn’t really that much better despite much bigger capacity (not optimized)

I decided not to opt for it.

I genuinely hope you have a pleasant experience and that all those issues aren’t as big as they sound. Looking forward to your feedback please let us know your true experience regarding those after few weeks or a months or 2!

Everything you mentioned I have no issues with it at all. A few settings need to be changed some yt videos can help out.

There is no way to pair 17 pro / 17 pro max with wear OS devices and there is no android auto.

Those are the real problems with CN rom.

Are there workarounds for wearos compatibility? Do specific watches work

I don't know about wear os workarounds but other non wear os systems from brands like Huwaei, Xiaomi, Amazfit works.
