Hi,
At 9pm the battery is 53% probably because my music is downloaded from my phone. I can't stop it.
Without talking battery, why the music is downloaded on the watch since I must have the phone to listen it ?

You can pair bluetooth earphones and use the watch to listen to downloaded music without your phone.
If u don't want your music to sync with your watch, u have to go into google play music and uncheck the box to sync with wearable.

I recently buy a moto 360 and update it to 4.4w.2, so theres a option that says you can save your music in the watch from the google play music app, my cuestion is if you can select the music that you want to transfer?
I have marked the option in the phone, but doesnt transfer the music to my watch, anyone can help me?
I don't think there's an option for that. There's no speaker, so what's the point?

There certainly is an option for it. The watch allows pairing with bluetooth devices. I've successfully paired my watch with a bluetooth speaker and played music to it with my phone being completely off.
OP, I just selected the option to download to wear in the google play music app settings and then you should see the watch say that it's transferring. It works better if you put the watch on the charger right after you enable the option in google play music. The transfer speed is ridiculously slow.
As of now, you cannot select which music you want to transfer. The music that will be transferred is whichever music you have downloaded to your phone in Google play music.
Using the Android Wear app on my phone, I have blocked all of my audio-playing apps (Google Music, PowerAmp, BeyondPod, etc.) and rebooted my watch. However, when playing music, I still get popups about what is playing on my phone. How can I get rid of all popups on my watch which are related to playing audio?
UPDATE: Google says:
When you listen to music on your phone, you’ll always see the music card with options to pause and play. You can’t turn this card off.
Dear Google, that sux.
I mainly purchased this watch so I don't have to bring my phone with me to the gym and still listen to music via BT headset.
A couple of questions:
1. Is there a shuffle option for your entire playlist? (I can only shuffle w/in an album from one artist. )
2. Can I select individual songs download into my 360? (Seems like the whole album gets downloaded).
3. How much space is in the watch?
4. Can I make playlist?
I may sell this watch if I can use it in the gym like I want to.
Thanks!
Its not a standalone device!

The watch cant store music or download music.
You'll need a phone for those and you can control music (remote) by your watch.

Pretty sure I know this watch isn't a standalone device. I'm using Google play music to download to my phone, and have it store downloaded music to Wear for offline playback.
I'm at the gym without my phone playing music to my BT headset from my watch.
I just want to have a playlist and the ability to upload individual songs.

1. Yes you can shuffle a playlist, once you open Play Music on your watch find the playlist you want and then swipe it left and that screen will allow you to shuffle that playlist. There is not an option to shuffle all the music on your watch.
2. You can select playlist to be downloaded to your watch so what I did was created a few playlist with the songs I wanted and set those in Play Music to download to my watch. However you can not pick individual songs on their own.
3. The watch has just under 4GB of storage. This is for operating system. apps and music (2.9 GB for apps and music is what I have). I have over 100 songs from Play Music on my watch and they use about 765mb
4. YES, best way I think to get the music to your watch.
Just a note this will greatly reduce battery life. While mowing my yard, about 1 hour I can burn through about 40% of my battery using bluetooth. Better than carrying my N6, but can be an issue for some.

This is not true at all, it can download music from Play Music and store it on the watch to be played back via Bluetooth from the watch.
IMHO, this feature works but it's bare minimum. I too bought the watch primarily for this use case (streaming music to BT headphones while jogging). Your best bet is to rely on playlists and use the BT headphone controls to change tracks.
You'll probably find that loading music onto the thing is a total PITA. It takes forever and it automatically stops transferring when the battery drops below 50%. It can't transfer when it's on the charger. The result is a ridiculous and frustrating experience. Needless to say I'm less than impressed with this feature's implementation, but it does work and it allows me to jog without my phone which is nice.
I'm using the original LG watch and google music for offline music and podcast playing in the gym/running. I have a moto 360 coming shortly. I was hoping that with the newest update enabling wi-fi, transferring music to the 360 would be done via wi-fi instead of the painfully slow bluetooth. Has anyone had any luck with wear downloads via wi-fi or are we still stuck with bluetooth to push those audio files over to the watch?
Well, Moto360 doesn't have a speaker. How would you listen to a music then ? BT headphones ?
Care to explain this Gym/running thing about listening to music ?
I'm really interested now to have to keep a phone with me all the time.

For about a year google play music has had the option for local storage & playback on wear. If you have downloaded some content for offline playback on the phone your wear is paired with there will be additional options in settings under "Android Wear". There are quite a few articles about it that will walk you through the process.
However the phone will sync music to your wear via bluetooth (which can be slow for large podcasts) and I' curious if anyone using a wifi enabled watch has noticed if the syncing is done via wifi, since it's available with the newest update.
And I was wondering why I need an internal storage on the watch.
I just had it for 2 weeks now, so still figuring it out.
Thanks
Can anybody explain how to listen music with the watch?
In "Play Music" app on watch, select "Play on Wear"
Seems to me it only works if you download music. Doesn't seem to let you stream.
It's a paid app, but you can use "WearMedia", it lets you transfer music from your phone to your watch, then you can open the app on the watch, select the song, and it'll play through the watch speaker.
You can already do that with the built in Android applet.

Once you have music on watch pick google play music app, play on wear, speaker, play.
Am I the only person who thought it would stream music rather than download it to watch?
Using WearMedia and works very good for me so far. This watch Speaker sound continues to amaze me!
I continue to look for a way to quickly mute the watch speaker. Playing music works fine for me but how do you stop it without using the pause button?
