Could somebody please help me about making a calendar entry? I feel pretty stupid about this whole thing, I can say to Moto 360 "open calendar app but it only seems to open it on my phone". Is it possible to say make an appointment for Wednesday the 25th? Seems like I have no problems with anything else like sending text messages and getting directions but this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any input you can give me.
I haven't been able to figure this out either.

I tried everything I could think of... no dice.
Set reminders
I've been able to set "reminders" that only exist under the Google Now home screen. Try this voice command: "Add reminder. Whatever whatever whatever at 9am tomorrow." I've used the "Add reminder" command quite often and it works very well.

You can just say "remind me to take out the trash tonight".
Unfortunately I need calendar items and it seems, inexplicably, Google Wear doesn't support it.
What about these:

no luck.
No Luck this is a bummer. I would like to just add a calendar meeting. Just by saying add calendar event tomorrow 9am meet with John Doe.

This is definitely a bummer like you said, but now I'm just using "add a reminder" hoping that the next version of android Google L will do the job.
Sadly, Android Wear is more of an extension of Google Now, than an extension of the Android phone...
It'll get better, though
I can't even get it to set a reminder. It tries to save and says "Sorry that didn't work. Try again"
Help!
Moto 360 degrading over time

After 3 weeks with my Moto 360 I just started having problems of all sorts, including no longer being able to set a reminder. I do everything the same as I've effortlessly done over the last 3 weeks ... "Ok, Google ... Remind me to <blah blah>" and it just shows a Google search of a webpage I can open on my phone. Reminders have worked dozens upon dozens of times over the last 3 weeks, and now not at all.
I've uninstalled Android Wear on my phone, restarted, Reset device on my watch, waited a long time, followed the on-watch prompts to reinstall Android Wear, re-paired Bluetooth, and so on. A few times now. Same thing - super basic smartwatch functionality of my Moto 360 has spontaneously stopped working over the last couple of days.
If I say "Ok, Google ... Remind me." and pause my watch will display a prompt that says "About what?" and if I say something it just says it can't reach Google at the moment. But it can! All my notifications from my phone are still working, and if I ask a random question ("Ok, Google ... who is the Prime Minister of Canada?") it pops up a response just fine. It's just all the really useful and core smartwatch stuff that has been hosed.
It started with the time being incorrect on my watch, whilst it remains totally correct on my phone. I've had to restart my watch multiple times per day to get the time set correctly, I've Reset device several times now, etc.
Overall, my Moto 360 experience is severely degrading over time. :crying:

What kind of phone? Is it at least android 4.3?
used to work fine
Yes, I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. And as mentioned, Android Wear and my Moto 360 have been working great for me for the last few weeks then all of a sudden - wrong time. After a bunch of complete wipes / reinstalls AND calls to Motorola support just to be sure and also to loop them in on problems, my AW experience continues to get worse.
However, it appears I'm not unique in this. I just checked the comments on Google Play for the Android Wear app and it looks like a lot of people are having similar issues with the October 6th update - incorrect time, inability to set reminders anymore, etc. Let's hope Google and/or Motorola read and respond and fix the problems ASAP!

Which versions of AW are you on? I'm still on 1.01.
Any solution for the problem? It's really annoying, someone??

Hiya, it seems the reminder functionality uses Google Now, so if you've disabled Google Now on your phone, it'll tell you that it can't make new appointments every time you try...
You can add reminder to Google Now remind section not on Google Calendar.
If you want add entry in your Google Calendar you can use an App named "Calengoo".
With this app you can add calendar entry and also entry in your Google task.
With this app you can also dismiss or snooze Calendar Event when is send to Wear device.
I just received my MOTO 360 today and it has been able to send text messages then suddenly when dictating a text in Google Now on the watch it says that it "Can't Connect to Google at the Moment."
I have the newest software update (KGW42 R 4.4W.1) on the watch and I have done multiple factory resets to no avail. I have also switched the phone from Hello SMS to Google Hangouts and that has not helped.
It appears to involve any Google Now command like reminders. However, I can search the web fine.
I am running a Nexus 5 Unlocked with 4.4.4.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get this resolved.
I'm having the exact same issue... and I just bought my Moto360 today as well. I got it to work for a few minutes then it disapeared again. Would not suprise me if this is an outage on google's side.... at least I hope it is. If I try any google voice action it opens a seach of that term instead of the action, so I have searched for "set an alarm for 9am" about a hundred times.

Yes. Any time I use a voice action to, let's say set a reminder, I get the same error message. Just as the text message. I do hope this is a problem on Google's side. Web searches appear to be working fine as you said.
Yes I am having the same issue. I got the watch yesterday night played with it till battery died. Then i charged it fully, and played with it and used it at work today. I used google commands like "remind me ..." and "set timer for ..." about 16 hours ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden for the past 7 hours I always goes to google search when i make those same commands. It is very frustrating however i am happy i am not the only one experiencing this.
Just wiped my 360 and paired it with my Nexus 5 instead of my MotoX, same exact issue. Anyone who has had one of these things for more then 12 hours had this issue tonight?
It's a problem with the Wear app that was updated by Google today. I'm sure they'll have another update that fixes what they broke by tomorrow.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue... It's been driving me crazy I've been trying everything to fix it!
I was in tears thinking i got a lemon
Im glad im not the only one.. The 360 was launched here in India and i was quick to go and order before it went out of stock. I turned it on, charged it and updated it. Was trying all the voice commands and all it kept doing was a google search.. Hopefully an update will come soon enough.:fingers-crossed:
I've had my 360 for over week with no issues giving voice commands (e.g. remind me to xxxx) however just this morning, I am having the same problems as described. The weird thing is, my android wear app hasn't been updated (I've checked the version number) so that can't be the cause.
This leads me to believe its a server side issue.... hopefully...
This morning it seemed like the issue may have been resolved, not sure if anyone else can report the same.
^^^ I can report the same. The issues seem to be worked out. I will make not and post if i run into any other issues while i check it now.
Moto X pure here. Wasn't having this issue and now it suddenly popped up
i have a smartwatch 3 and it worked along time as it should. After one of the last firmware updates i have the problem, that reminders via google now dont work anymore. if i say remind me for tee is ready, the watch and the xperia z3 dont remind me. there is no notification. i did a factory reset on the watch and tried it with a different new created google account. nothing helped. Has somebody a solution for this? Can it be a problem that im on android kitkat on xperia Z3(because the batterie life is so much better that on marshmallow).im thinking of selling the watch becaus like this its useless. its one of the most needed functions.
Anybody?
Become a beta tester of the Google app.
My reminders now work on the watch
Good idea. I try this. Updating now.
Update: it works again. Google solved the Problem after half a year. Respect
My Moto 360 showed me incoming facebook messages no problem, but I have never once seen one on my Huawei watch. I've tried resyncing the apps, re-pairing the watch, enabling all permissions for all apps involved, everything I can think of. Anyone have this problem and solve it?

Accidently blocked notifications from FB? Check Android Wear app.

Checked it. Not blocked.
Did you get an answer?
I just got an original Huawei watch yesterday (on sale, Amazon), and everything seems to be working as it should be except Facebook Messenger. After much tinkering, I am able to receive messages occasionally (not every one), but my only option to reply is a thumbs up. I can't send out on Messenger at all. Is this just the Huawei watch, or is it an AW 2.0 problem? I really want AW 2.0, but not being able to use messenger is a deal breaker for me. I am thinking of returning the watch, but for what? If the other AW 2.0 watches have the same problem, there's little point. Thanks for any help you can give me.

When I created this post, I was on Wear 1.5. Since 2.0, the problems have been fixed for me. I get notifications no problem.
Swipe up on the thumbs up to get more options. Select voice if you want to reply. Even though it says voice, you will be given the option to use the keyboard to respond as well.
Messenger on Huawei watch
I've just got an original Huawei watch and I'm using it with a Umi Super . Having downloaded the Facebook messenger app, when I open it on the phone I get a message saying "To use messenger, install the app on your phone first".
I already have messenger installed on my phone and no matter how many times I uninstall/reinstall. This is I get.
Has anyone else had this? Or have any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks
Same
I have exactly the same problem
So... The other day I tried to access voice detection via "Hey Google" and it didn't activate.
Upon further research, I found that 'voice detection' setting in the Google app was toggled off. No biggie. Toggle it on and it worked again. Tried it again because I'm an OCD fool when it comes to not trusting Google after my woes with this device. Low and behold it didn't work. Returning to the same screen as previously viewed showed that it was again toggled to disabled.
At this point, I'm in WTF mode.
I reenable it and launch the Google app manually and click the mic. Speak command. Command executes. "Hey, Google." Assistant activates and subsequent command executes. "Hey, Google" again fails and it is now disabled in the options again.
Anyone else experienced this?
i had trouble with that. i cleared data from google app and reset permissions and waited an hour and it started working again or something... wish i had better advice. might want to contact google support.

Sadly, I really REALLY don't. I've had to RMA and now requested a refund through their support. If you have never dealt with them, be glad.
I have had pretty good experiences with their support ever since the Google one thing started.
