I just got my phone in the mail today I open it up and charged it and first thing i download was watchmaker because I had downloaded some face files while i waited for my watch to come in..well I downloaded watchmaker, pulled up the file and I can see it on the preview but when I try to set face and made me buy the premium version for $0.99. No big deal I bought it and now when I try to set of face all I see is spinning orange circle can anybody help me...at first I thought it was just a loading circle but after 10 minutes I realized it's not loading at all
Can anybody help explain why a watch face will show in preview but when it tranfers all i get is the orange circle?

I've had that problem a few times. Each time, I was able to fix it by either selecting a stock face, then switching back to the Watchmaker face & transferring the face again or by restarting the watch and sending the face again.

thank you so much! That appears to work for the most part!!!!
I've noticed it happens more so on more complex watch face designs.

I bought my Smartwatch 2 from amazon and apart from being totally disapointed by the fact that Sony removed the shake2wake, music widget and auto brightness I have found an other problem: it gets stuck (happens like once a day) and it usually happens when I let it turn the screen off by its own, it will just dim the screen and get stuck in a dimmed screen state, showing my apps, but I can't interact with it, is anyone else experiencing this, and did anyone manage to fix this problem, or is my devices defective and I should send it back for repairing, and if that's the case can I send it to Sony Roumania instead, cause I don't like the idea of sending it to Amazon UK?

Do you think you might have downloaded an app that is causing this? I haven't had my watch for long but, I downloaded a calander app which would cause my watch to freeze whenever I'd open it.

Downloaded only Sony's apps (most of them) and WatchIT and the xbmc and tasker extensions, don't think any of one can cause that...
EDIT: Forgot to say it also happened when my phone was dead, so the watch was not connected to anything.
Just if anyone is interested and has the same problem as I did, I managed to solve it by unpairing the watch from the phone, reseting the watch and doing the whole repairing process.

Yep, I'm experiencing the same problem as I'm typing. I was just viewing an email and, exactly like you said, the backlight slowly turned off and it just stopped working. I'm going to soft-reset the smartwatch.

Hope you fix it man, the smartwatch 2 is a beautiful device, unfortunately mine is no more (screen got burnt so I sent it back to amazon and got my money back) so I really hope you fix it and keep enjoying it cause I really miss it but oh well, waiting for a g watch and hoping to be as satisfied of it as I was of the smartwatch 2.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, if it's normal behavior and if there is a way to correct it.
When I get a phone call, I get the standard caller ID. When I take the call, it changes to the "add a note" card with the caller id image in the background. But when I hang up (from the phone) this card never goes away. If I'm in the office with the watch on the charger in my living room and take a call, I can go in there an hour or two later and that card is being displayed in full brightness in the charger. This is a bit fo a pain, especially if I'm sitting on the couch with the watch in the charger and take a call.
It seemed to me that when I first got the watch, this didn't happen; when I hung up the call, the display would go back to my watch face. I was hoping that once the Lollipop update came through (which seemed to take forever to come) it would go back to the original behavior but it hasn't.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this by design? Is there anyway to either make it go away on call end or stop it from displaying at all?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
So nobody? I'm the only one in the world experiencing this?
Same here
I am also facing this issue and haven't found solution till date. At first I thought one if call recorder app is causing this , still no luck even after removing that app.

My ultimate solution was to buy the Huawei watch. I never could determine the cause which survived every fw upgrade. Between that and the miserable battery life, it was the right decision. The Huawei is better in every way for me and two months into it, I still haven't run the battery out once.

I am also experiencing this and wonder has anyone come up with a solution?
So I just installed the free watchmaker app to try out... some of the stock watch face just has the spinning orange/red icon on the screen and a few loads fine....
anyone know whats wrong with the app?
I think the more complex the watchface, (ie large graphics and such) take a long time to load and sometime get hung when transferring to the watch. If you keep trying it eventually works.
So I was hesitant to proceed with the update since my 360 has been working so well and the battery life increased tremendously when I got my Note 5.
After a few days of the update pestering me I decided to go for it.
Now there are 2 things that are very annoying.
The first, whenever the screen comes on, there is a slight delay in the watch face.
It lights up with a black face and the hands are white, then it switches to whatever face I have and respected dials.
I'm not using facer or anything, just the stock moto Dials 2. This is very annoying and makes the watch seem slow.
The second thing is that the watchface doesnt turn on when I receive texts anymore.
The vibrate function still works, but the screen won't light up.
Is there a setting that changed making this the default? I would prefer the screen turn on when I receive texts.
Thanks
Make sure 'card previews' turned on from the android wear app, other wise your experience with the faces sounds buggy! A factory reset would help on that.
Factory reset doesnt work, this also happens to me since the update, looks like this is a firmware problem.
Damnit, I wish I didn't update.
Battery is also noticeably worse.

Same exact two issues here and I'm shocked I haven't seen more people complain about them. The first one is a nuisance but the second one completely devalues the purpose of the watch making it useless. Not seeing the text/email/etc... and only having a vibration on your wrist is pointless. I could keep my phone on vibrate in my pocket if I wanted to be notified of a new text/email without seeing the actual message. Please post a fix if one is found!

Can you found a way to fix it?

The first issue is because the watch now comes on in ambient mode first. Even if you don't use ambient mode. It sucks. Luckily i use Watchmaker for my watch face so I went in and made all the parts (hands date etc...) to be visible in ambient mode.
I have noticed that if I wait a couple of seconds the notification does appear on my watch screen but it is after the vibrate, not immediate. I thought it wasn't showing up at first too. Still, I wish it was quicker as I look right away.

I went back to using Facer for my watchface and the delay is gone.
Also did they completely remove the restart option? Now it's just power off, and then press and hold the side button.
I'm experiencing both issues as you do on 6.0.1.
Also yes, reboot option is gone from update.
The renamed reset with "unpair from watch". Not gone, just to mess with us.

I've also noticed that theater mode does not work after the mm update (unrooted, ota). I usually set it to theater mode at night to avoid burn in and just because I don't want it on all night. Now, it looks like it's blacked out, but when I wake up, the charging screen is lit up. Anyone else getting this?
I have the exact same issue after the update. Theater mode will not keep the display off if the watch is being charged. Off the charger, it works as expected. Quite an annoying bug.
If I turn ON the theatre mod with double press the power button before I put the clock on the charging dock, after that screen continue charge with screen off.
For me it's work.
Can anyone try it?

Just tried that - doesn't work for me. Screen turns off but once I put it on the charger, it comes back on after a few seconds. I'm watching it and it's still on a few minutes later.
Same here. Screen always turns back on
I'm getting the first bug the OP mentioned havn't noticed the second one though.
However the first bug is annoying enough, hopefully there'll be a quick patch.
Little patience, update to Marshmallow is great.
Here's what I mean with screen off when charge:
So in the morning until you take it out of the dock and go to work.

Sorry I read wrong...but wouldn't you just use the power off option and then turn back on to reboot?
Hey all, I got a Google Pixel Watch today, and I noticed that one of my complications in my watch face says "Empty" and it's not showing the "Date, Date & Time" options. I've tried Factory Resetting my watch and it seems like it only triggers when I charge it. I can't do it from the app on my phone but when I go to edit the face on the watch itself I can see it all.
I know it's not a BIG deal since I can do it from the watch instead of the app, but has anyone have a fix for this from the app since it's definitely ALOT easier to navigate through?
Thanks!
