Successfully connected Galaxy Smartwatch to visible 100% working
After a lot of issues and customer support here is how it finally paired.
I have a Galaxy Watch 8 classic. Initially when setting up mobile network it would default to offering the free 2 year Google fi network for texts and data only. I declined and then when it got to the next steps it would give a constant error saying number sharing must be enabled by carrier please contact them etc.
This issue persisted until while on the phone with customer support I had to factory reset the watch through galaxy wearables app. When initially set up I had to accept the free Google fi service, then after watch booted up had to go back into mobile networks (on the app not the watch) and then add the visible network. It will ask you to login to visible once it starts to successfully pair. You login then it will give you more instructions. After it is connected you go in and remove the Google Fi service.
****Long story short, when you first set up watch sign up for free promotional Google Fi service if it is offered, then add the visible and follow instructions. ***
It's working for calls, text, and data now.
