I can't figure out for the life of me how to disable the wrist activation feature, I don't want to mute the watch, I just want to disable any movement from waking it. So only touch input would wake it, rather than movement. Any suggestions?

You think there would be an option to double tap to wake! When I wear a T-shirt and cross my arms my watch vibrates every 5 seconds!
So annoying...
Hopefully, some customization features would make android wear perfect
Commenting for future updates. I would really like this. Especially since most of the time when I actually want it to come on it doesn't.
My lg g watch doesn't turn on when I move my wrist. Have constant display turned off. Have to double tap to wake or wait for incoming notifications

The main reason I got the smartband was to use it as an alarm clock. So far it hasn't been able to wake me up even once.
Either the vibration is just too damn weak, or I'm a very heavy sleeper.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is it possible to increase the vibration somehow?

does it vibrate well when you get txt message or phone rings? have you enabled alarm in smardband settings?
Not possible to increase, but from my experience the vibration wakes me up well.

Same vibration all around, so doesn't seem to be something wrong with the alarm. Also tested the alarm during the day to make sure it works, which it does, so it looks like this is about me sleeping too heavy or something.
Bummer.
I'm a heavy sleeper, my wife can attest to that, but it has woken me up every day!

Checkout the "Smart wake up" option; see if you have that option turned on.
I don't claim to understand how the feature works; but it says "SMart wake-up wakes you up when you are sleeping lightly". I'm assuming this feature prevents the watch to wake you up through the alarm feature, if you're in a deep sleep?
Do you have the SmartBand tight enough on your wrist?
As far as detecting light/deep sleep I'm not sure how advanced that feature really is.. beyond making an educated guess based on movement patterns that is.
I did try making it tighter, and today it actually woke me up. Downside is it leaves a nice imprint on my wrist. But I can live with that.

It does, but the smartband isn't very reliable when detecting sleep at all from my experience, so I don't really trust it detecting light vs. heavy sleep either.
However, the smart wakeup feature will always vibrate when set up. If you have looked at the description you may have noticed that it's not a set time point, but an interval. It basically should check for light sleep, and wake you up as soon as detected, but at the latest at the determined end of the interval regardless of sleep.

Well I use my smartband as an alarm and it has never failed to wake me up. I use the small band with the last slot left open (the end slot), you must be a very heavy sleeper (I thought I was a heavy sleeper, reaching the record of 13 hours of sleep)

So you sleep with your watch on? Just curious. I have no answer to you problem though, sorry.

I'm assuming he/she meant mute / DND the watch by pulling down from the 'home screen'. If so, yes. It will help with the gesture activation.
When I do it, the screen doesn't light up when at 45º.
Like so: link
Thank you for the solution but I use the watch to wake me up by vibration at the morning. So mute it not help me . It would be better if we have an option in the firmware to switch on or off the movement wrist detection.
I have the opposite problem, I can't get my lg watch to wake up by moving it, I've tried different movements and nothing, the screen is set to be always on but the only way to wake it up from its dimmed state is to tap the screen.

If really nothing works and the watch is not muted you probably have a defect. Especially if this was the case from the moment on when you got it. Request a replacement from where you bought it.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procoit.wearmylauncher and activate the shower mode. It still vibrates but the screen is dimmed and won't turn on if you accidently touch it or move your wrist.
Godd idea, i will try.
Is there currently a way to set the watch to NOT turn the screen on when I get a notification?
Doesn't "muting" the watch do that?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah it does, but I think he wants it to show up normally when you activate the watch. I wouldn't mind that
Yeah. I'd like to receive the notification without the screen turning on. Just a vibration.
I would totally love this as a mod. I'd pay for it too. Just vibrate when it comes and let me double tap to wake it when I'm ready. That way strangers can't see it

Have you played with Facer at all? You can tell Facer not to display notification cards at all. I haven't played with that, so I don't know if it still vibrates (assume so).
and if you blocks msg app
and using only wear mesenger app?
i think it should work
This is a standard setting on android wear on your phone. My G watch only vibrates when i get notifications and dont light up until i look at it or touch it.
Under android wear you can also select which apps notifications to block from going to your phone.
My phone screen doesn't turn on when I get a notification, it only powers on if I touch it.
In fact I would like it to turn on automatically if a notification arrives, what you don't want lol.
Any idea how to make the screen turn on when notifications appear? It used to before I updated to 5.0

It's really unacceptable how all those lovely watch designs in the store have the same ugly digital always-on face. Only the first 3 built in watch faces have a corresponding analog always-on watch face. I find this to be a huge limitation of the device and has kept me only using those 3 watch faces.

I'm wondering if this is a limitation to the developer from Samsung in order to make us use those three only or if it's possible to somehow code them in order to have a "quick glance" version of those third party watch faces Anyone?
Oh yes a HUGE limitation and UNACCEPTABLE!!! <sarcasm intended>
Are you serious? Do you have even the slightest understanding of the amazing technology being used in this device, or it's incredible capabilities? And you are stressing over something so incredibly trivial.
Staggering!

Might be trivial to you. The always-on watch face is huge to me. Being a d*ck about it doesn't change anything.
And its unacceptable, because its already implemented and therefore its not a hardware limitation. Samsung are just being retarded in dealing with their watch face developers.

@ozaghloul has a point... Samsung has been "lacking" with the watch face devs, I dont believe they have released the watch face sdk and I dont know if they ever will. The always on feature tends to be useful, I know my watch hasnt always responded to the on "motion" at times.

In fact I find that switching off the motion and using the always-on screen actually saves a bit of battery. Also the always-on screen just looks so good especially at night. Not to mention how much quicker it is to glance at the watch and not have to wait for the motion to wake it up (sometimes unsuccessfully).
All that talk is about the nice analog always on screens of the first 3 faces (also number 6 has a nice analog). Its not about that Fugly nasty tiny little digital clock you get with all the other faces.
It should be fixed already long time ago! I'm not going to buy any watchface until they won't have different "Clock Always On" option.
Just wanna say that i agree that there should be more faces for always on..i use always on and no motion

I totally agree with this. I honestly thought owing a Gear S with my Note 4 would be a much better experience. In reality it's not all it's cracked up to be. Even more so since Watchstyler has stopped working...Lame.
I don't understand how the developers are just accepting this. This directly affects their revenues too, because I am certain many more people will buy watch faces if they become fully functional.

Totally agree with you! I've been patient but now it's just pathetic... Device these days is nothing without proper software and proper updates to its software... I would totally buy some new watchfaces but it's missing it's point without new "Always ON watch face".
There are some really great 3rd party watchfaces but they are missing this crucial factor!
And still, the other thing is that. There should be an option to deactivate "touch to wake" when "Clock Always" is ON. Now, when taking the shower it's going CraaaaAzy! And the same while running with a long sleeve (moisture inside of the sleeve)
1. Hopefully the new sdk wich come days agoo fix this?!
2. Why dont any devps respond?
Hi,
There is only one watch face which has an option to Turn on "Always On". Its name is "Desk Clock". Its free
It is not a "real" Samsung mode Always ON. If we select Always ON on Gear setting we have the classic digital clock and not this. It is just a clock wich avoid the dim mode and force the Gear to not sleep.
Hello everyone, I did the following, there is only one thing you must get used to and you can have your favourite watch face available with the wake-up gesture on, here is what I did in the gear s "settings--> display--> wake-up screen--> select "Last screen". The only down side to this is you must remember to hit the home button to your home screen before going into sleep. When the screen is off and you glance the watch face will appear and not the digital clock from the other non samsung default watch faces.
Remember by doing so more battery will be used unless you select a similar watch face as the digital one. It will show for the same 10 seconds as the digital face.
A bonus to this is that you do not have to tap the screen to wake from the digital clock, you go directly to the home screen, that is one less tap per glance.
Do not forget to hit the home button, you will get used to that or swipe down till you get the home screen.
Enjoy!!!
Whilst I do sympathise with the OP (and if it is a big deal for him then that's for good reason) I do think this watch looks amazing with some of the clocks that are available in the store and to not show them off when you flick your wrist is a bit of a waste really. Also there are a couple of clock faces on the Samsung Store that you can enable always on, they seem to work OK.
I keep the brightness and volume down a bit and limit the notifications to essentials and the battery easily lasts 1-2 days. But I love to see a proper clock face when I look at the watch so for me this isn't a huge issue.
Great

U r brilliant really, great idea and it never came to my mind
Man, coming up on a year... still stuck with the same crappy digital "Always On" watch faces. Anyway around this with root? I just want one of the stock analog "always on" black and white faces with a different watch face from galaxy store.
The crazy acting during shower can be fixed if you turn on not disturb mode
Idont get why there is still No fix for the always on watch Faces!!!
I even tested the always Screen on app , it works but battery last about 6-7 Hours. thow its Cool to have any face You like always Oh

This seemingly small embellishment is just so darn useful it would be great if Xioami got around to incorporating it. I was using my old LG phone the other day to keep track of time while working on a dirty project, and the ability to double-tap to wake the screen with whatever portion of my fingers/knuckles which were clean at the moment was a real lifesaver. I forgot how truly useful it is, and I definitely miss it on the RN2!

Thanks, socolino, for the suggestion about the Knockr app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tecnology.angs.knockr). I've taken a look, and, of course, while this app does its best to mimic DT2W, it is pretty much a kludge. It basically just turns the screen black to simulate it being shut off, but it actually keeps the phone awake. So this means a massive hit on battery life. And there is other collateral, too, because the phone doesn't actually go to sleep. For example, the notification LED does not get activated because the phone is not actually sleeping. And supposedly the power button doesn't turn the screen on as expected (i.e. get rid of the black mask).
Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion.
this feature is disabled in kernel, unless we will have source codes or xiaomi will anable this feature, there will be no dt2w

As a workaround, I use the WakeUp Touch L Free app. With the correct settings, it wakes the screen virtually every time by double tapping the proximity sensor. I haven't noticed any battery drain using it. Here are screenshots of the WakeUp Touch settings I use. Another couple of settings that are useful to modify: long press on WakeUp Touch in Notifications & assign it High Priority; lock WakeUp Touch in Recent Apps by dragging it down.
To turn the screen off via double tap, I use the Screen Off and Lock app in conjunction with Apex Launcher's double tap gesture [Nova & other launchers also have this gesture].
