When the phone rings I get a notification on the moto 360 but even though I have the contact picture showing on the phone the watch is showing a grey image that you get when you don't have a picture for the contact.
What's worth mentioning is I see the contact pictures when there's a missed call or a text but not when phone is ringing.
Is that the case for everyone?

Mine acts the same. I'm pretty sure when I had a Gear Live it did that too. Hopefully this will be fixed in AW 2.0

This is how mine acts too. No image while getting the call. Shows image in missed call notification. Am i missing any setting here ?
Mine shows the contact pics just fine... there's a delay for a second or so after the phone rings, but it shows up for me.
Do you have the latest Moto update installed?

Have you checked your settings in the messaging app? (Messaging-Settings-Notifications) Other than that, you could check under Settings-Sound-General and check your Vibration setting.
And I have also gotten that on my part too, I think this has to do with the stock messaging app showing a picture message as a small video. You could always pause while seeing the picture and save it
As the title says, sometimes I wonder why review sites miss out covering the most basic elements of a phone's interface. It's inexplicable. I've scoured websites for this information, and I've kind of found out a few of them, but no one site has it all and it would be a great help to me to decide on this phone, and maybe for others as well.
Requesting screenshots for the following:
Incoming call screen with contact picture (before answering)
Incoming call screen without contact picture (before answering)
Outgoing call screen (before answering)
Ongoing call screen with contact picture
Ongoing call screen without contact picture
Missed calls / messages notifications on the lockscreen
Thanks for obliging!
BUMP!
Here are a few of the screens you requested.
The ones WITH Caller ID would just put the contact image in place of the blank one.

EDIT: Also, I believe that missed calls that HAVE an ID will show up on the lockscreen, and not just the status bar. I just don't have a second phone to confirm that with right now.
Thank you so much for that!!
So the picture size is going to be pretty small then for caller ID.
I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find anything about a possible notification light. I've gone through my apps and made sure the Light notification option was enabled and I'm still having to check my phone to see if I have messages from the SMS app and FB messenger, as well as notifications from FB. Now I may be having a complete brain fart, but if anybody could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it

Unfortunately we don't have a notification light. If I could change anything about this phone it would be that and the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack. Maybe add a legitimate ip rating while we're at it.
Moto Display!
Even better than a notification light is Moto display... Open the Moto app and turn on moto display. You can select the apps that you would like to appear. It uses active display so if you move your hand over the display the notification would show. I love this feature, and have been using it with a moto X (1st and 2nd gen) for years now

I'm slowly getting use to the Moto Display for notifications but I'd rather the LED notification light. I mean I dont want to have to wave my hand over a phone or pick it up just to see if I missed a call or text.

But that is kinda fun. I do it as a bar joke a lot. "These are not the notifications you're looking for"
I'm not getting any notification when I have a missed call. Phone rings, stops ringing, and then there's no sign that someone called. Call does show in my call history.
I do not have notifications blocked for any app.
Is this normal, maybe a setting I missed?
same issue
I use Google Pixel and i started facing this issue from last 2 weeks appox..... havent yet got any solution nor even heard from anyone except you....

Haven't experienced this. Got a missed call on Tuesday with my Do Not Disturb on and saw it in my notifications.

I had true caller, it was preventing the phone from displaying the missed call notification,

it looks like the last update from trucaller solved the issue
I have the same problem. The Pixel 2 is connected with a Huawei Watch 2. And I don't get a notification on the phone or the watch. If I power off the watch I get the notification on the phone. After power on the watch the notification disappear from the phone. It is only with missed calls all other notification works well. Anyone a idea?
Same problem here. Solved unistalling Android Wear app updates *from WATCH*
Where can I submit this bug to AW developers?
I had the same problem on Pixel 2. Go to Truecaller settings-> General and DISABLE the "Missed Call Notifications". That solved it for me - started showing the missed call notifications from the default Android Phone app.
Also, (bonus), you can enable the Settings -> Notifications -> Blink Light. This causes a small LED light on the top right corner of my pixel 2 to start blinking white when there are notifications.
I'm considering purchasing this watch. When a notification arrives does the watch face light up immediately to show the notification or does a button need to be pressed to view the notification?
Hi, mate. Yes is light up and vibrate except when is in do not disturb mode.

Thanks. So just to confirm.....if I receive a text, it lights up and shows the text that I just received so that I can immediately read it?
Also, can the screen timeout be changed? I realise that there is a mode where it can be kept on for 5 minutes, but can the normal timeout time be changed?
Yes, you cand read text message, email, whatsapp etc, anything what is show in notification panel. Screen timeout can be changed 5 min to 20 min and if you need its a option for allways standby screen.
I just got this watch and it is pretty inconsistent. For a text it shows the whole text, in other apps only partial text (I'm guessing 80 to 100 characters). For an email, all you get is sender and subject. So to me the notifications are simply not worth the cost. I want to read the content of the email to determine if it's worth me taking out my phone. It's a real shame because it is a beautiful watch but so far it's a pretty big meh from me (vs the Pebble).

It’s not the shame of the watch. You should have studied what it can do before deciding to buy it. Watch GT is more like a sportwatch than a smartwatch. Therefore, you cannot expect smartwatch features from it.
I did a lot of research but finding someone who actually shows the full breadth of notifications is nearly impossible. In watching videos, people showed that it received email notifications from Gmail but never showed or stated that it's only sender and subject. So I did my research but without being able to test myself I would not have known. This is why I replied here.
Also it's still a shame because just giving me two lines of the email would make this watch killer!! It's still great though.

The watch vibrates when you receive a notifications but does not automatically turn the screen on. If you want to see the notification, after the vibration you have to raise your wrist to turn on the screen or push the up button.
Hello everyone. Is it possible to force heart rate detection while swimming on the GT? I tried to set generic exercise while swimming and the heart rate is recorded.
