I just about always remote start my truck.
Me, too. Whether I'm doing it @ the office to let it warm up before I head home or if I'm out with the wife and she wants me to warm up the truck before we leave a restaurant, it's a no brainer. Now with the FordPass app on my new Galaxy Watch, it will be even easier than digging out the key fob or phone.

The only downside to fordpass on your watch is your now required to have a screen lock on your watch. With a screen lock enabled you can no longer see notifications from texts calls or emails without unlocking your screen. I got the watch for easy access to notifications instead of digging for my phone while at work. I ended up disabling the app from my watch because of this.

Not accurate. You can adjust permissions settings to show app messages on watch (and phone) while locked.

I only have to unlock it when I put it on first thing in the AM. After that, everything works without any need to enter the lock code.

I haven't unlocked the watch in hours (when I put it on). I just opened the FordPass app on the watch and started (and stopped) the truck.

I couldn't remember so I Googled it...Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone, navigate to Watch Settings, and ensure the toggle for Show notifications on lock screen is turned on.
