The article considers the messaging technology by means of Bluetooth-channel using Bluetooth-sockets. The practical significance of the Bluetooth technology is contingent on low power consumption of the adapter and its easy handling as well as the current wide-spread use of this communication type. Having analyzed the technology we developed an algorithm for message exchange between two particular devices (smart watch SamsungGear S2). It is shown that this algorithm is reliable with regard to ensuring the delivery of information and allows reaching the point of synchronization sufficient for most modern applications. The signals transmission delay between the devices is approximately 50 ms, which is in most cases a good factor.
