Thought it would be worthwhile to share my initial impressions of Android 5.0 with the Moto 360. I am running it on a Nexus 5. First, 5.0 rox!!!
Nicest feature thus far is Smart Lock, which auto unlocks the phone while connected to the Moto 360. I was doing this previously through Tasker, but it's nice to remove a step. The new Messenger App also works quite well. It has a very well done full screen view of the full message and quick access to voice reply. I am still using Wear Messenger for canned responses, but I've formally turned off the notification part of that app.
I'm using Google Inbox so no impression of the new Gmail 5.0 app. The new Calendar, which is beautiful, doesn't appear to add any better functionality either. More to come here. I feel like Google Now has improved, but that is very anecdotal.
Notifications are vastly improved in Lollipop but I'm expecting the Wear uptick to come through Android Wear 2.0. Hopefully more to come as that happens.
So, in short, Messenger App and Smart lock are most obvious improvements before 2.0 drops.
Anyone else finding goodies???
I like the new update. Like others here I needed to restart the watch to get the new faces to show up. The new features are welcomed. I like the ability to add the date to any watchface now.
I imagine someone will start a thread to post new backgrounds that can be used in the "my design" watchface.
Music Controls Missing from Moto 360 After Lollipop 5.0 Update
I noticed that music controls are missing from my Moto 360 after updating to 5.0 Lollipop. The music card only pops-up on the Moto 360 when you pause a song from the phone, and from there (& only then) can you skip to the next track from the watch.

Hrmm, I noticed that it was missing too.
Installing the latest Android Wear app for Lollipop resolved the missing music controls on my Moto 360.

Missing watch faces
I installed upgraded my Nexus 5 last night to the latest build, reset my device (moto 360), downloaded the latest moto Connect and Android Wear apps, paired and now I am missing all the new watch faces; they show up in Android Wear and I can customize them there but they are not showing up on my watch for selection.
I have reset the moto 360 twice now and still no-go. Worst thing is that I'm missing the Pascual face which is, by far, my favorite.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Much appreciated!

I had the same problem, even after I paired Moto360 to my phone and then clear data for the Connect app.
So what I did
Uninstall Connect app
After I paired up with my watch, I reinstall Connect app and login, and then at Android Wear app, I press "resync apps" and all the watch faces show up again on the watch
Hope this helps

Thank you, that worked like a charm!
Interesting, Motorola already had smartlock in their phones even with 4.4. It is a great feature I am sure many people will use.
I do really like the smartlock on 5.0 with my N5, whoever i tried and hoped that smartlock would work flawlessly while attached to both my N5 and N7 (12), but no such luck, worked on phone fine, and does pair with my N7, but seemed to only want to work with one at a time with smartlock, sorta lame, and hope that is resolved. However i don't like having Google Fit and Motorola both running health apps at the same time, i noticed today by battery ran done on the Moto360 quicker, and i know it's due to the Google Fit app, so most likely will have to disable that, would be nice if i could just turn it off instead like one can with their step cards.
After I update to android 5.0, I the answer function on the watch just shows the reject and reject then send a pre-made message.
Anyone know why it says running sync loop in notification panel.. Its been like that for over a day.

Me too, I don't know if this is normal.
Update: I think it has something to do with the Google Play Services Update.

See, here is my deal... I only noticed the "Connected, running sync loop" AFTER i paired a bluetooth headset to test the music playback from the watch.... i saw that and got worries...
a fellow android nerd told me that he saw it after updating google play services to 6.5..... interesting... because i DID update to GPS 6.5 yesterday morning, but only noticed the mesasge after i was playing with the headset... so i really dont know if it was there before the headset pairing or not
yes this is most certainly a 6.5 thing. i upgraded to 6.5 and had the problem...downgraded and it went away. this is on my z3 compact stock running 4.4.4...seems like google updated something in play services before android wear was updated to take it.

i had mentioned it in the play services thread .. appears as soon as it is connected to the phone after updating to 6.5..need to wait for 1.0.5 ..although except for the annoying running sync i see no extra battery drain than before
Sorry to be slightly off topic, but I noticed some of you running this watch with the nexus 5. How are you finding the n5 battery life while having the moto 360 connected all day? Im currently looking at going with this combo over the next few weeks but I hear things about the n5 battery life.. Glad to hear the 5.0 brings some nice functionality though

Me too! I did all of that. I just got new a new replacement note 4 and it was working fine on my previous note 4 but this will not sync any faces or no moto app.
ok I was able to get it working. I factory reset the watch and via android wear I added new wearable device and clicked on sync all app.

Reset my phone three times and no love. I can update the original stock faces but thennew faces never show up
Same thing happened to me today. I've reset my phone 3 times and resync'd many times without any luck. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Finally, I was able to fix it. My case was as follows:
I had paranoid android installed (new faces were fine). Had to restore factory settings on my phone, phone didn't want to sync after I reset my phone so I restored factory settings on my phone. I lost the new faces. Tried resetting the phone and watch multiple times and it didn't work. I went back to stock 5.0 (LRX21O) by following this guide . After restoring my phone to stock, I reset the watch one last time. Paired the phone and watch, customized one of the new faces chose minimal face on watch (still no new faces on my phone), then customized the same new face again, when trying to select another face it only showed one (simple). I chose that one, then tried to change to a new face and viola! new faces appeared.
Not sure what of everything I did was the fixing factor but wanted to share. Hope this helps.
Faced same problem. But i managed to update my 360. Try to uninstall all 3rd party app on ur phone, uninstall motoconnect and android wear. Last step is factory reset ur moto360
Then install motoconnect, install android wear ( do not install any 3rd party app at this stage), go to android wear setting and resync available app. Just make sure your phone screen is on about 10 minutes or so, moto360 will reboot after that.
All new faces and moto body apps will show up eventually - i tried this 3 times.
Hope this may help
Motorola 360 new watch faces not showing up on watch
I had the same problem, new watch faces would show in connect app (particularly the My Design one) and I could customize them but the new ones would never show up as an available watch face option on the 360. It may be related to replacing your phone as the new watch faces worked fine with my Old Note 4 then I had to replace it (because it had a problem) so when I got my replacement Note 4 and reconnected my watch it would never give me the option for the new watch faces even after I "reset" the Moto 360 numerous times. Interestingly for some people the new watch face options don't even show up in their Motorola Connect App on their phone, I think it may be related to their phone OS version. I have a coworker with a Note 3 and the new watch faces are not a option even though his motorola connect app is up to date.
Here is what I did to fix my 360:
- uninstall all apps on your phone related to your watch (Motorola Connect, Android Wear, 3rd party, etc.)
- Reset your 360 back to factory. (not just a restart)
- Wait for watch to prompt to install Wear on phone.
- install wear on phone, it will remember your old watch, pick the menu option to forget that watch though so it acts like this is the first time you are setting up a watch.
- Go through the watch pair and setup routine with the wear app till you get to the main wear screen that shows the watch connected and what your voice actions are.
- Go through the training setup on your watch (swipe, swipe....) till it's to it's Normal screen with your notifications.
- Install Motorola Connect app on your phone, go through the setup and wait till it says "connected" to your watch
- Set your phone and your 360 down and don't touch either for 15 minutes (no new apps, settings, etc)
- Your new watch faces should now be on your 360.
- re install the rest of your wear junk.
Those who have problems syncing , keep the watch on charging and charge your phone as well . do not reset anything. Just resync all apps option in android wear app. They will show up automatically after few mins

After this latest Moto Connect update I'm still waiting to see the new faces in the Android Wear app. I got the update almost 24 hours ago and nothing. I have tried re-syncing, resetting the watch, all that stuff. What is funny is I can go download a new random watch face and within a few minutes it shows up. But the new Connect app doesn't seem to be working. However if I am in the Connect app and "customize" a face and hit "Apply" it makes the watch vibrate. I also cannot change the color of the charging dock face... Crazy, not sure what the issue is.

Have you tried clearing app data for the connect app on the phone, then uninstall it. Reboot both the phone and watch. Then once the phone and watch are connected again, download the connect app.

Yeah. Apparently, and I should have guessed this, it is an issue with my running the 6.0 preview 3 on my nexus 6. So yeah, sucks but M is worth not having a couple new watch faces and a different color charging face.

I thought it was M p3 too, i even removed all my wear apps and reseted the watch XD
Motorola told me to "unoptimize" the wear abb (from the battery options).
I asked if it could not be an incompatibility with M, but they did no know.
EDIT: motorla lvl2 suppoty called, they say that the newer API level in android 6.0 makes it incompatible with moto connect update

They DO know that 6.0 is about to be released right? Ugh. Guess I'll stop trying to get this to work on my Nexus 6.

I don't have the option to change the charging colors. Swiping down on the watch face does nothing, and there isn't an option for it in Motorola Connect. I'm running the latest Moto 360 software on the watch, and my phone is running OS 5.1.
I can't start navigation my Moto 360 for some reason. I used to be able to say a location, and it would open Maps on my phone, and the navigation would start. Now when I try to navigate to a location it says to check phone to continue, bur nothing is there when I check my phone. It the Android Wear app on my phone it says for navigation that it's using Maps Micro, not sure what that is and why it's not the full Google Maps. I'm on CM 12 on my Note 3. I tried reinstalling Maps, and restarting my watch.
I have the same problem. I just got my Moto360 and was under the impression, that one could start a navigation directly on my watch.
Anybody?
A fix was pushed out via the phones maps update yesterday. Motorola recommended giving about 20 minutes after the app updates on the phone for the changes to sync to watch

And it's still not working. At least not for me...
The downgrade of maps worked on my LG G watch . Thanks for the link.
I had a similar problem with my Huawei Watch + Note 4 (stock). My Smartwatch 3 does not have the same issue, so I figured it had somethong to do with using the GPS in the phone vs the GPS in the watch, which to the best of my knowledge there is none in the Huawei. So I pulled the phone out of my pocket, opened my LED Flip Wallet case, put my phone in standby, and gave the navigation command on the watch. Surprise surprise, it worked! But, I noticed the screen came on on the phone and "Maps" opened. So I then closed the flip wallet, tried again. This time I got the error on the watch, Can't Start Navigation. Seems like it's the flip case! That's too bad, I really like my flip case.
So in short, if you're using a Samsung and one of their flip wallet or S-View cases, that could be your culprit. Seeing as Android Wear is Google and the cases and phones are Samsung, I doubt either party is going to help us with this issue. Hoping someone smarter than I can come up with a software solution or settings workaround for this here on XDA!
Ever since I installed Marshmallow on my phone I don't get notifications on my watch. They both say they're connected and my notifications are turned on in the wear app and in sound and notifications in my phone settings. Even when I try to push a fake notification it doesn't work. My watch is running 5.1.1 and my wear app is 1.3.0.2166028. I also have gotten a message on my watch saying there is no Google play installed on my phone but it is. If anybody can help I would appreciate it.
i had an issue at first with mine. what i did was uninstall android wear and unpair with the phone. then, wipe the watch. do a full factory reset. (charge it above 80 percent or itll complain on first boot) then after you get the watch to the screen of pairing install android wear and pair. after this wait for everything to finish. remember the watch does everything over bluetooth at this point so give it some time to sync.
after that it should work. you can test it then inside the app. took me a couple of resets to get my watch working perfectly.
Since the latest Android Wear update a few days ago, my watch appears connected to my Honor 7, but I don't receive notifications anymore.
I can change the watchface from the phone, i can find the phone from the watch, so there is communication.
If I disconnect the watch, delete android wear from the phone, restart and do a new connect with the watch, it works again, i receive all notifications again. Until, I shut down the watch or restart the phone, then nothing again.
Resyncing apps via Android Wear on the phone does not help. Any clues?
Honor 7 with MM6.01 (b371) and M1D63M on watch.

Interestingly I am experiencing the exact same at the moment.. Oddly enough it worked just fine yesterday, but not two days ago or today...
Thanks for replying, now at least I know this is not just me.
I am also having the same problem. I need to disconnect and reconnect several times in a day to get notifications. I thought the latest update was just security fix but i think it has messed up the core functionality as well.
for me, even the watch face cannot be changed from phone.
Funny I ignored this thread until it happened to me just today

i'm going crazy....same issue happened to me!!! i'm looking forward to find a solution ASAP!!!
Same is happening to me. I've tried all of the above as well but no success keeping the notifications from disappearing.
Interestingly though, I also have an app installed called Feel the Wear which lets you set different vibrations on the watch for different types of notifications. I only use one custom vibration for hangouts. Whenever I get a hangouts message, I still get the custom vibration on the watch but the message itself doesn't hit the watch.

Well, apparently this is becoming an issue. I don't think Sony is to blame, because it started just after the latest Android Wear update, my watch was working perfectly before that. Anywhere I can download a previous version? Then I will install that version and don't allow it to update for now until Google has fixed the issue........
Just this morning I received an update OTA on my watch to version M1D63X, but unfortunately no changes to the notification problem........
Just connected again with my z1 compact, works well, everything fine with the notifications. Therefore it must be something to do with the honor 7 or with mm6, because my z1 compact runs on lp5.1
Same on my watch + Xperia Z3 Compact. There must be some problems with Android Wear app, many of my friends have the same problem. Notifications work after reconnecting but not for a very long time.
Also incoming mails are notified a couple of times in a row for some time, f.e. I get banggood offers mail which is notified on the phone and on the watch, then in the next 5 minutes there goes another notification about the same mail, and again, and again... until I dismiss that notification. Drives me crazy so I just immediately swipe e-mail notification when it arrives (I don't want to block the app).
Hoping for a quick fix...
Every time this problem occurs I simply restart the watch and phone at the same time. Fixed the problem every time. Restarting the watch alone does not help.
Also can confirm that the watch indeed is connected to the phone, no notifications go through to the watch. Had a song successfully identified by Shazam on the watch while the problem was present...
After yesterday upgrade my OnePlus X to android 6.0.1 - Sony SW3 stops receiving notifications. There is info at android wear app, that synchronization was shut down and i have to restart phone to resolve that problem. After restart it works for some time and then the same problem. I think that some program is shutting down by android but i dont know where i can find it, and what it is. Anybody? App that sends notifications to watch?
Same with me. I only get the notification by the app Feel the Wear and having custom vibrations on Gmail, Whatsap and Facebook. But no notification on the watch itself. Also since the last 2 updates.
Since flashing a Nougat rom on my Nexus 6, I have been receiving all notifications on the watch. It's only been a few days but so far so good. Still not a fix for anyone stuck on MM but try flashing Nougat on your phone if you have the option.
Edit: I flashed a couple of different Nougat roms which requires two separate factory resets of the watch. not sure if that had anything to do with notifications coming through.
