Ever since I got the most software update earlier July 2017 on my Zenwatch 2, my Zenwatch 2's battery is horrible, it barely last 10 hours with a little usage with brightness set to lowest. I did factory reset hope to fix the issue, after I did factory reset I was trying to download my watch face back to my watch, I noticed it is not showing up at all so I try download any other watch faces and none of it are showing on the Android Wear app. Currently I am stuck using only stock watch faces. Anyone else having similar issue?
You have to add the custom watch faces in face designer on the watch. Swipe left and tap add more watch faces at the right hand end of the list of watch faces. You need to also have the custom watch face app or apps installed on both your phone and watch.
You will need to go into your play store on the watch and add the custom face apps to the watch. You should see any app that is on your phone and which has a complimentary watch app in the list at the bottom of the scroll called apps on your phone.

I did do that, before the new update any watch faces I download show up in the Android Wear app, right now none of the custom watch faces I download are showing in Android Wear.
They won't. It works a bit different now. You have to use the app that comes with each one to manage them and then add them to your watch as I detailed.

I noticed only the watch faces I download directly from the Watch's Play store showed up on my watch and my Android Wear app, but any watch faces I download from Play store on my phone is not showing up on neither my watch or Android Wear, so base on what I found out is that if any of my previous purchase of watch faces didn't found on the app store on my watch that basically mean it is not supported in the latest version of Android Wear.
That could bead well. Just like anything the app developer has to update his or her app to work with aw 2.0

You must go on the "PlayStore" app on YOUR watch and look at the section "app from phone" to install faces/apps wich is yet on your phone. With Wear 2, phone faces/apps are not automatically installed on the watch. Users must install all or only the one they want.

If that the case then I will say I HATE this update, it used to be so easier if I want to download watch face on my watch I can download on my phone Play Store then it will automatically add to my watch. Also I quite sure new update rendered my Zenwatch's battery unusable, my battery drop 100% to 5% within 10 hours, I used to get to able through almost 2 full days without charging it.
Have you performed a factory reset on the watch?

Yes, twin already. Didn't helped for now I am force to turned off ambient mode and set brightness to lowest just get watch with usable battery life again though still no luck getting back the watch face "LED Time" I purchased download to my watch. I am currently addressing this issue to the developer who made that face watch so hopefully that issue can be fixed from the developer who design the watch face. I am extremely irritated with new update that screw up my watch. By the way trying find watch face on my watch by typing in name with small tiny screen was fun! (sarcasm). I wish someone would make those developers who released the latest Android Wear update to type on their Smartwatch with their life depend on it.
Turn off automatic wifi as that uses lots of power and likely you did not have that turned on with 1.5
My battery life was pretty bad for a few days after the update, but once I let it run down completely and die, then charge to 100% it was back to normal.

I hope that is the case, I charge my watch to 100% took it off the charger around 1pm by 11pm my battery life down to 5%. Since I turn ambient mode off battery seen to getting better even though I previously had ambient turn on the entire time before the update and my watch managed to last almost 2 full days.

Actually I did have my wifi turn on as well as ambient turn on before 2.0 update. that was my setting and it lasts me almost 2 days. I don't use my watch to make call or send text message, I mainly use it just to check a few notification though out the day and obviously to tell time so I don't have heavy usage on it.
The latest update to the Android Wear app on your phone.should allow watch face modding and changes once again from the app.

So I downloaded Google Fit a week ago thinking it synced with my watch because it shows my activity. However the G Watch does not show up anywhere under connected apps in Google Fit. And to further prove that it does nothing I just did a bunch of activity with just my watch on and my phone sitting still. My watch says I have 1 minute of activity and 50 steps.
This entire time I thought Google Fit was taking info from my watch turns out its just displaying the activity it detects from my phone onto my watch. Thats crap :/. Does anybody know how to have Google Fit use your watch and ignore your phone altogether?
I actually want to know the same thing.
How the F, do you sync the steps etc with other apps (e.g. MS Healtvault which I use to track weight).
Mine didn't appear to be syncing either. It looked like the phone always overrid the watch. To see if it would help, I rebooted my watch. I hadn't rebooted it since updating to the latest version of the Android Wear app and installing Google Fit on my phone (LG G3). Then I tried a little test. At the time, both my the Fit app on my phone and the watch said 1099 steps. I went for a walk, leaving my phone behind, and went far enough that the watch disconnected. When I returned, my watch said 1324 steps. I made sure my phone had a data connection (as far as I can tell, need a data/internet connection for it to sync properly), and waited. A minute or so after the watch reconnected to the phone, both devices displayed 1099 again. Then about another minute later, they both updated to 1325 steps. In my case, it appears to take a little while for the sync to occur.
The watch must keep track of steps and fitness information that it then syncs with the phone. I don't even have Google Fit (or any other fitness app) installed on my phone, yet the watch does keep track of my steps and I get Google notification cards on the watch with my daily totals. This information can only come from the watch.

Yup. Now please do tell how to get this info reliably into other services?
I do a lot of running/cycling, and i still can't find a way to sync the results from my watch to my phone.
Also, neither my lg g watch, nor the apps i use show in attached Devices and apps in fit, even though runtastic (for example) supports it.
Anyone ever figure out anything?
After taking update I got excited. Loved the theater mode and different watch faces. However two days in I'm having issues.
X1 remote will no longer work.
Gmail, hangouts, etc notifications are no longer working, rarely will get notified.
Also android wear app has issue forgetting and reconnecting to watch. Have to reboot watch to get it synced. Watch will not display the cloud with slash symbol and will act like it's connected to my phone even tho it's not online. Then after launching voice search it will finally say off-line.
So what should I do? Reset? Roll back to kitkat?
I have read some people with phones running lollipop that they aren't used to priority notifications. But my lg g3 is on kit kat so that's not my issue here.

Uninstall android wear app, reset android watch. Re-download android wear app from play store, re-pair watch with app. Start fresh...

Another bug is the voltage between pins on lollipop (we lost the lg fix), that causes deterioration; and while theater mode is activated, the alarms will not vibrate.
I didn´t have any problems with gmail, hangouts, or disconnections.
Today no issues after following reset and reinstall instructions. I have been able to receive vibrations with theater mode.
Will research this deterioration thing. Haven't heard of it.

We´re researching about this, maybe it´s not a bug really.
Wish I could stop this battery use from Google fit. It's disabled.
I obviously can't complain about battery life. I get 3 or 4 days easily with it turned off at bedtime, always on screen disabled,and brightness at 1.
LG G Watch:
Stock 5.0.2
Google Play services 7.0.95
Nexus 6:
Stock 5.1
Google Play Services 7.0.99.
Android wear: 1.0.5.1724356
The only change on the LG G watch is the addition of minuum keyboard. In any case, at random times over the past weeks I've noticed a massive battery drain where my watch will go from 80% to 20% in less then a hour with out me using it. With no indication on the android wear app as to what is causing it. I downloaded Wear Battery Stats but that has not told me anything in terms of a app that is causing it. I've tried resetting the watch and the phone but the problem continues, which makes me wonder A) if it's a rogue app B) has something to do with either Google Play Services/5.0.2 that is causing it to go crazy. My best guess after reading through the forums is that it's caused by the watch disconnecting temporarily on 5.0.2 thus making it go crazy. I am getting random "Unfortunately Android Wear has stopped" notifications at times, which I have no idea why that is happening.
Can any one help me pinpoint why this is happening and how I can solve it?
The following are the apps that I have installed on the watch:
Minuum
Wear Messenger
Amazon Shopping
Photos Watch Face
Al the cooks
Wear battery stats
weather timeline
flopsy droid
calculator
Keep
RunKeeper
Syu Wear Manager
Facer
Wear Mini Launcher
Lyft
Wear Tip calculator
IF
Calendar
Play music
Fit
Clock
Journey
maps
Wear Speaker
Cerberus
Pocket Casts
Evernote
Duolingo
Sleep wear
Reversi
Thank you in advance!
Love to help as mine is doing the same thing! Especially with a long trip using Google maps navigation on my phone. Very annoying!
I believe that it's not the apps you have installed on your device that causes the drain. For some reason when I install a new app most of the time I will get a battery drain but I found out that restarting the watch after the install fixes the issue and I'm having the same problem when disconnected, constant Force Closing. What phone is your watch connected to? I think it might be a bug with android 5.x I'm running Nexus 5 on 5.1 but before this phone I had it connected to an HTC Desire 610 on 4.4.2 and had no "Android Wear Isn't responding" message.
Edit: Completely missed the first half of your post! haha
So yeah, I think it is a bug with Android 5.1
Thats weird. I wish there was a better way then waiting on Google to fix this. Are any of you experiencing lag on your LG G Watch on 5.0.2 stock? Multiple issues I'm running into basically .
Mine too, down to 40% before lunch is over. It seemed to start with the last google play services updates.
I've tried factory resets, wiping wear app data etc. Still happens.
Also Nexus 6 5.1 Stock.
Maybe it's the memory leak from 5.0? I know you're on 5.0.2 but I am also having the same issue. Okay besides the factory stock apps like keep, timer, alarm, maps, fit, calendar, Amazon Shopping & play music? I have Slumber, tetrocrate, beelink, bidot, compass, Dragon laser, file manager, find my watch, find my phone, instaweather, instant, intellicom watch faces, invaders, new tweet, reversi, ring my phone, speeds, spooky pumpkin crush and world clock. I am thinking that I need to downgrade back to 4.4w
Got update today on Nike app, says syncs with shealth. Don't see how or where to sync
You need the update of s health as well. .. Just got it installed on my note 4. Now I see nike+ integrated in s health...
Thanks. Dumb q. How do you get the shealth update? My galaxy store doesn't show my apps some lollipop
I Dont see anything about sheal in the Nike + running app or s health and they're both updated
I updated everything and I see nothing.
Can you please tell us what to do?
S Health is not a simply app update. Samsung managed to create segmentations on S Health, e.g. each different phone models see different versions of S Health only. My Galaxy Alpha only sees S Health 3.5 that was last updated on Jan 2015.
I downloaded the new apk and updated by myself. Yes, now Nike is in S Health.

I don't know where to download it. My phone shows S Health app in Galaxy app store when it was on 4.4.4. But now with 5.0.2, it no longer shows. S Health is not a simple app to update. It depends on all kind of Samsung services to work. Samsung managed to get million different version of S Health targeting million different models of Samsung phone. I typically just wait and once in a while Samsung will push the S Health update to my phone.
Or you can search for S Health APK but keep in mind it may not work for you specific phone.
Odd thing. Updated to lollipop on my Note 4. S-Health is version 4.1.1.0037. It also now shows up in the Google Play Store as well as the Galaxy Apps store.
Casual jogging.
I've been using Gear S and Nike+ for running on a weekly basis. Here are some battery saving tips I have developed. My watch has no SIM card, so no battery drain that way. I use it simply as a GPS distance-measuring + MP3 player over BT mix.
1) Go to Settings just before a run and turn on "GPS". Usually it gets a signal pretty quickly. Then go to "motions" and disable all. Also, go to S Heath and disable the Pedometer.
2) If you jog with musicConnect your BT headphones. Turn on the Music from the Music player, as Nike does not know how to shuffle (whatever, Nike).
3) Go into Nike+ app, decline Music and Cheer requests. Wait a couple minutes, start your run and watch for the green GPS dot to appear.
When all goes as planned, I get more than two hours battery life (estimated). Went down from 90% to 40% battery life during an 1:25 hour 10 mile run. In theory, if you run fast enough Half-Marathon should be no problem, and if you do not use BT for Music at all, then it can probably go more than 3 hours on a single charge with Motion and Pedometer off. Good enough for casual jogging.
This watch is awesome for casual running. Share your tips, if you have any! Thanks!

There is a Running feature in S Health.
For those that updated, can you still use Nike+ or do you now need to use sHealth, because Nike is integrated into it?
I run every day, and switched from sHealth to Nike+ 2 months ago because the GPS signal would take forever to lock in sHealth. How are things after the update? Is sHealth faster? Nike+ slower?
I keep using the NIKE+ for running, but after the update GPS took about 5-7 minutes to lock...will retry again today or tomorrow.

Thank you thank you!! I have not even looked into possibly updating until I hear user feedback, as I was afraid it may slow down the GPS. Can't wait to hear back from you or others after you next run.
Is anything else new or different?
One more question: does Nike now track your HR? On my Gear S, it never did. Just wondering if that has changed since the update.
Thanks!
HR works for me sometimes, depending on how sweaty my hand is + hair . But it is imprecise, as far as I gather.
GPS lock now takes forever. .. ran yesterday and it pretty much skipped the first 750 meters + fooled around with the watch 5 mins beforehand. It still counts the distance though. I never carry the phone with me though.

Thanks strikey17. Is there any benefit to the upgrade that you can see, then? Sounds to me like I should make sure it does not install, if it only slows down the GPS.

How Can I use S health in my Gear S2 to running then sync data with nike+ App?
Nothing to do with the watch app. Nike+ phone app now supports sync data into S Health phone app. Not the other ways around. Your watch S Health app already sync data with S Health app on the phone. So here is how it goes:
Nike+ watch app -> Nike+ phone app->S Health phone app
S Health watch app -> S Health phone app
Just noticed my watch is downloading a system update, ut has paused as battery is too low, I am already on the December Patch, is this just a security patch or something else?
Wear OS 1.0 with the February security patch.
I look on the internet and see it keeps saying the lg watch style having the Wear OS 2.0. I look at my watch and it is the Wear OS 1.0. I see listed above Oytsejam1138 mention Wear OS 1.0 with the February security patch. It is bragged about how 2.0 is so much better, that it is such a leap forward. So anyone knows with the situation is? I see they sell them with 2.0, at least that is what I believe I am reading.
Another question but a change of topic. I have the lg g4 h811 phone and the lg watch style. I can use my phone to add to the grocery list or my other lists but the watch cannot through the Google assistant interface. On my watch I have to open the "Keep" app. and choose the list I want to add something to then hit + and one by one add to the list. That is so slow. I grab my phone and say "Ok Google, add to my XXXXX list" and is asks what I want to add. I say something, the app. asks "what else" and I go on from there until I tell it I am done. The question is, shouldn't my watch be able to do that? On my watch I can say, "note to self". My watch (typed text) asks me what I want inside the note to be. I tell it and it saves it in the "Keep" app. I can see them when I open my "keep" app on my watch or phone.
Change of topic again. (I should really make different posts and not compile all this here). Suddenly my watch has started to something. When I open the "Keep" app. it starts to sink and it never stops until I close it and randomly when I reopen it right back up again it is all synced up. Lots of times it never syncs.
Yeah, I'm also wondering about wear 2.0. Just got this along with a Huawei Watch 2 Classic, and I cannot get the watch to update to wear 2.0, event though it says everywhere it is supposed to have it.
I contacted technical and they said to first go into settings of the watch and do an update. I went into Setting./ system / about then chose update. The next step they said in the software in your phone OS to disconnect your watch. Now the next step really did not make sense because they told me to factory reset my watch. Now uninstall the app from the phone and reinstall the latest version. Now lpair your watch with your phone and let the watch update.
My results were bad. My wach went back to when I first bought it and I had to reinstall everything I had on it again. Waste of time. Since than I see my watch updated to 1.1. I don't understand because no where does my watch tell me I am running 2.0... It says Wear OS by Google 1.1.
But it does have Home App 2.11.0. xxxx Are they trying to say the term Home App is the Wear OS? then what does the term Wear OS by Google mean.
Same here Wear 1.1, no updates to Wear 2.0
What the hell? Why is nobody talking about this? Well, except from us.
Edit: I think I figured it out. Wear OS reset and renamed Android Wear. So Wear OS 1.1 is the update to Android Wear 2.0. No?
I think your right. I looked at the Wear OS app on my phone and it shows that it is Wear OS 2.11.0.XXXXX and on my phone that version number matches the information given by my watch as: Home App 2.11.0.xxxxxx. I think the watch Home App is the same as saying Wear OS. and our Wear OS on the watch is what you said, version 1.1 is the same as Wear OS 2.1.0.XXXX. I think our watches are up to date. The terminology is screwy. The watch titles one way and the phone app title's the same thing a different way.
On the watch: Home app 2.11.0.xxx
On the phone: Wear OS 2.11.0.xxx
On our watch: Wear OS 1.1
