Few questions about ZW2 - Asus ZenWatch 2

Hey, I just purchased the ZW2 a few days ago and It's a great watch but I have a few questions if anyone can help.
1.) I synced a few songs to my watch via Play Music but I can't figure out how to play them?
2.) If you say " OK Google play whichever song by whichever band" to the watch it will open the music player on the phone and direct you to the song and not begin playing the song. The OK Google command will play the song if directed on the phone but not on the watch. Is there a work around for this to make it play?
3.) Can you also get a notification sound via the watch speaker along with the vibration?
Thanks in advance.

1) Use a Wear player app on the watch like "Wear Media" or other
2) syntax always strange and not good result with title
3) use app like : lightflow, feel the wear, SWM notification

I am also a new owner of ZW2. I really like the watch but also cant figure out some things (altough it is my 4th watch with AW)
1. Can i upload some images to.my watch or watch then from the phone? I mean, is it possible to watch pictures from phones gallery, on this watch?
2. Is it possible to set my own mp3 as a watch ringtone? Or at least, if the watch can play the same mp3 as the phone?
3. Where do I get some free and nice watchfaces?
4. Why I dont have Whatsapp and Viber on my watch? On every previous watch, I had it.
Plus, when I scroll to my contacts, theres option to send them Viber or Whatsapp msg, but not every contact has that option altough everyone is usuing both of those communicators. Weird.
5. Can I uninstall some app from the watch? I dont need two weather forecasts so I would uninstall one of them, or at least, make ot invisible

Awesome, thanks for the info. Wear Media and Feel the wear work great. Is there a way to direct the verbal Google Maps navigation instructions to your watch instead of your phone? That would be very useful. Thanks again.

Did you install the Zenwatch Manager app? It has a lot of free faces, and allows you to enable many of the features you are talking about. You do have to install Android Wear as well, as they interoperate. Yes, it does feel a bit bloaty, but the app does help you to setup the watch easily.
I also installed the Asus Clock app (which upgrades the alarm clock on the watch), Google Fit, and a calculator app for Wear. There *is* a MP3 player, but for some silly reason, it won't play using the onboard speaker. It requires a BT headset.
As for maps, while it doesn't appear to show the map on the watch, the navigation steps will show up if you are using Google Maps. That is a really cool feature.

I use the "WatchMaker Premium" app to create my own watch face. I cannot help with any of the other questions.

@up - i dont like such a watchfaces. I preffer original watchfaces from real watches. But I use Watchmaker Premium.
@jshamlet, yes, I installed Zenwatch manager. It has some functionality, but thereś still some things for me, that can not be changed. For example, I hate the sound from the speaker, when I connect the watch to the charger. I wish I could turn it off. But only this - not other notification sounds.
When it comes to custom sounds, LighFlow does the work.
But I have still one major problem, which really is making me considering switching back to G Watch R, and that is display. I mean, when the watch goes into dimming mode (or whatever it is called) after few seconds, it doesnt look good. It looks like the half of pixels were off - I dont know if it´s to save the battery or the spec of the display, but it doesnt look good. It looks like 80x80 pixels - not 320x320. I am not sure if you know what I mean, but I will post a picture to compare (G watch and ZW2) on the same watchface. But my question is, if thereßs something I cold do about it.

for sync and play music with watch and on watch you can use new update google music.

Yes, ZW2 has a "Low bit mode" for his Dim mode with limited color. No good render for real watch but fine for classic digital face.
Ex with Watchmaker, not bad in dim mode :

I actually set my watch to turn the display entirely off, and use gestures instead. It's actually pretty good about sensing the "I'm looking at my watch" gesture, so I rarely have to repeat it. The battery savings are phenomenal - I usually get home with about 83% battery, and 75% by the time I strap on the charger at night.
The only real issue I have is that the onboard speaker and mic are largely useless unless you are literally talking into like **** Tracy. It's fine for notifications, though I prefer the vibration anyway. It is annoying that my phone constantly throws up an option to redirect phone audio to it, since I never do, but that is a fairly mild irritation.
That said, I didn't buy it for that feature, and for what it does, it's been a great device.

I have the larger ZW2 and just started to listen to music. How do I adjust the music to play through the watch speaker and not only through the phone?
