I'm having an issue with my Moto 360 and wanted to reset it in an attempt to fix it.
I uninstalled all of the wear apps that I had on my phone; Facer, Wear Launcher, Wear Calendar, etc.
Then I "Reset Device" on the watch. It does its thing, reboots, asks me to install the Android Wear app on my phone, I do this, watch is back online and.... all of those apps are still on it!? How is that possible? Had anybody else experienced/fixed this?
EDIT: Finally solved this thanks to abuttino!

I've had the moto 360 since launch. It is connected to my Rooted HTC m8. I've never had any problems at all with notifications coming but something wear must have happened yesterday. It got stuck on a text message reply using 8sms and now no notifications are going through. I've reset the watch, tried disconnecting, connecting. It connects perfectly, all my apps are there, wear mini launcher, wear messenger, all are there. But if I try getting notifications it doesn't work and and when I test pandora or spotify, it knew a music player app was running, but only the play button would show up and none of the buttons pressed performed any action.
fyi i've never altered the moto 360 in any way.
My next steps:
Delete the android wear app.
Completely unpair and forget the bluetooth connection
Reset moto 360
redownload android wear
test
rinse and repeat

My steps did the trick. That was odd. I think the key was deleting android wear app and the original bluetooth connection
This may have been asked, but i could not find it. How do i uninstall app from watch. i downloaded wearable widgets but i think it is buggy and caused my phone to flip out so i uninstalled it from phone and resynced, but app still appears on phone. i tried holding down and uninstalling it from watch via wear mini launcher and it directs me to phone but it is not installed on phone anymore.
so i reinstalled on phone and tried using the uninstall function on the watch and it uninstalled on the phone but remains on the watch.
so i then uninstalled android wear and reinstalled that thinking there could be some stuff left in the memory of it, but still the app remains on my watch. am i going to have to reset my watch to remove this app?
Updated nexus 6 yesterday to 5.1. Now the problem is that when I hit sync apps in android wear app, none of them are going to watch and my only options in watch are the stock watch faces. Did a reset of 360 2xs, re synced android wear app and bluetooth to watch. They are connected as I am getting all the notifications through the 360 but all the watch face apps are not syncing to watch. I forced stopped android wear, cleared cache and data, reset the 360 and resynced to nexus 6 but nothing. For the life of me can not get any of the watch face apps to show in the watch to select from, for example facer and watchmaker do not show in watch.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

What did you do to fix it?
As above would be nice to know what you did to fix it?

I would like to know, as well. I am having the same problem with my LG G R
I have found that after a reset of the watch and clearing out the data on the android wear app, repairing to the watch and just waiting a little while it does it. It takes a few minutes sometimes to transfer all the data via BT I'm assuming.
YMMV
So, I just got a new phone, Galaxy S8+. After doing the factory reset and pairing with my phone, I'm not seeing any new watch faces or anything appear in the Wear app. No way to even change stock watch faces in the Wear app. The watch is just sitting on the dock with the battery draining. Anyone see this before and have a fix for this? Or does the initial sync just take for-freaking-ever?
Bump
I was running my galaxy watch on my pixel 3xl, Android R dp1 with just some lag. Today my phone updated to dp2. It seemed as if the lag on the watch went away. Anyways, I did a factory reset on my phone and now my watch won't finish pairing. It goes thru the process where it says that it paired and to approve the permissions. But then I get a lovely pop-up that says "companion device manager keeps stopping". The watch just says to check phone to complete setup, meanwhile the wear app just goes in a loop of pairing, asking for permissions, going to the settings, then companion app stopping. Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried resetting the watch and I can't find anything on Google or xda. Thank you in advance.
