Moto360 constantly disconnects when battery below 60%

I just got a moto 360 and have it paired with my nexus 7. The watch stays connected fine until the battery gets to around 60% and then it will disconnect after 15 minutes. The only way I've been able to recover is to restart the watch. Android wear app shows it connected. If I try to disconnect and then reconnect through the android wear app it refuses to reconnect until I restart the watch. I tried contacting moto but the chat said they didn't have tools to support moto360 and when I called the person on the other end of the phone didn't even try to help and said comtact Google.

[Q] Remote Reboot via bluetooth

Good afternoon
I am a user of Sleep As Android (SAA). Unfortunately the Moto 360 doesnt do sensor pooling, and always sends data to the phone while sleep tracking. This can drain the whole battery overnight, UNLESS i reboot my 360 before i go to bed and start tracking my sleep. If i reboot nightly, i can use 20-30% of my battery only, rather than waking up to a dead watch.
My question... Is there any to use trigger or tasker to reboot my watch?
I have a rooted Nexus 5, and my moto 360 is stock. I was wondering if this was possible without rooting the 360....
Just trying to automate the nightly reboot.
Thanks

Battery drain after Nougat update

So I have a Moto 360 gen 1 and Samsung Galaxy Edge+. I just got the Nougat update on the phone.
After the update, my watch has been draining battery like crazy. I usually got a full day out of it and charged it fully at night. Now, I can't even get to 5pm.
I reset the watch and re-synced with the phone. No change. This morning it's draining at a rate of about 20%/hour which means I will hardly make it past lunch. I also don't even get call notifications now.
I'm fiddling with Android wear and watch settings to try to disable any unneeded app (I only use the watch for basic notification and step counts).
Hello,
About Nougat and Moto 360 ... I received it on my Moto G4 a few weeks ago and I'm not experiencing any battery drain.
Watch battery behaviour is the same as before when phone was in Marshmallow.

try uninstalling updates on Google Play Services (some app will prompt and make you update again, do that).
Uninstall and install all apps that have Wear app as well (like what apps show in Wear, uninstall the app in phone and reinstall and sync the watch in Android Wear app settings)
With such draining its just best to turn off everything unnecessary. Or turn off watch completely. With all resetting and resyncing, the watch will be dead soon anyways.. But probably it was just syncing or updating something by itself and you interrupted it by the reset so it had to do all the syncing again, draining the battery again ..

Re-purposed Moto 360 into a standalone watch (not smart watch, just watch)

Towards late 2017, my Moto 360 (gen 1) became just unreliable. The battery would die in about 4 hours or so even if it was lying on the desk with screen off. I thought that the battery had come to an end of its life. Rooting was an option but I was not successful in making a root cable for this watch. I loved the watch, so even if I could use it as a regular watch it was ok for me. So I unpaired it with my regular phone. Paired it to a spare phone (had a nexus 5x which is my backup phone).
I don't carry the spare phone obviously daily with me. But I have the Moto 360 and it remains disconnected from phone. It works like a charm. I use the Moto 360 in Ambient mode (yes, ambient mode) full day. After about more than 10 hours, I still had about 15% battery left. Couldn't ask for more. Ofcourse, no sync, no notifications etc. Just shows the time and date. That was enough for me.
I figured that the problems with the battery had nothing to do with actual battery but were most likely due to the latest OS or apps.
So Huawei watch 2 sport is my smart watch for daily use and my Moto 360 is ... a smart looking watch.
-----------------------------
This is what I did:
To the spare phone (unrooted nexus 5x):
factory reset and logged into it as a new device. So no apps restored
I installed Wear OS app from the play store
paired it to Moto 360
Let the sync happen
Only the very basic apps got installed on to the device like FIT, Calendar, Alarm etc.
I even deleted the user from the phone. But the Wear app is still paired to the phone, just in case I wanted to install some custom watch faces etc later.

Thinking about buying Watch GT2 but need some info

I'm tempted to replace my Fossil Collider Hr with a Watch GT2 but have a few questions which I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere (including in the user manual). Appreciate it if any owners can help me out and answer my queries (for reference I'm an iOS user in case it makes a different to any answers):
1 - Can it show all phone notifications or only "approved apps" (like the Fossil)? Does notification support differ on iOS vs Android?
2 - Does the standby watch face only show the time or can it also show other things like date, step count, battery. 2nd time zone?
3 - With the latest firmware updates does the standby watch face still disable raise to wake? Do notifications still appear if you have standby watch face set?
4 - Can anyone give me an idea of what battery life they get with the standby watch face enabled (and is this with or without GPS tracking and real time or smart heart rate tracking)?
5 - Does the screen brightness on standby watch face adjust for ambient light (i.e. brighter outdoors, dimmer indoors or in a dark room at night). Is it distracting in the cinema or sleeping at night?
6 - I think from what I've read that the watch gives an onscreen notification if it gets disconnected - can anyone confirm if this is the case? This is a feature i loved on my Garmin Vivomove and really miss on the Fossil Collider
7 - How quickly does the watch time update when the time on the phone changes? The Fossil is instant whereas the Garmin Vivomove could take up to 30 mins unless I manually synced it
8 - Can you set scheduled Do Not disturb Hours on the watch (e.g. at night)?
9 - I understand I can't use the built in play music function on iOS but do I get music controls to play/pause/skip whatever I'm playing on the phone?
10 - Do most watch faces offer the 2nd time zone function or is this limited to just a few watch faces?
Appreciate this is a lot of questions but I just can't find the answer to these anywhere else! Many thanks

1. On Android I can confirm it shows what you select and you can select all apps from you're phone. I can't confirm on iOS
2. Standby faces show only time for now and can't modify them or install new ones. Only in future updates maybe
3. Yes. No, you need to manually unlock it to see notifications. Only vibrate.
4. I had standby wf enabled once for a cycle of around 5-6 days. I do not find it useful as it cannot turf off at night by itself in bed (it seems). Without always on wf, with all others enabled stress, hr, etc , I get around 10 days
5.yes and yes, it's distracting for me even at minimum brightness ). But that is me
6. Yes you get notified but will not remain in the notifications list from the watch. You see it when it vibrates or you miss it . After unlock, a notification is visible by default directly on screen for 5 sec I guess from the time you receive it
7. I have no clue on this one. On Garmin I know it is connected to the gps and I think it is getting time from there not phone
8. Yes hours yes but not on week days.
9. No clue. I always had only androids
10. Limited to some of them. Good part is that we have a really good community posting alot of wf daily and also creating them on request . Even cloning some known Sam ones
I had the watch from December and must say it is pretty close to the perfect watch for me after changing and still owning to many of them.
Some minuses I noticed that bugged me compared to others, first one is the most important:
1. Vibration is really faded, the worst vibrations on any watch that I ever owned but I can live with it
2. Notifications don't have icons for all apps. Ex. Skype has the same icon as many others and it is hard to see the app that notifies at first glance
3. Adding custom watch faces is not that easy and kind of hit and miss at the moment if you don't have a rooted Android phone. On iOS at the moment it is impossible to send custom wf to the watch.
4. Support. China always gets the best, they even have a payed watch face store for gt2.... The rest gets some new watch faces at around 2 weeks... Not really a problem if you can send custom wf to the watch. Just today in around 3 telegram groups o saw around 40 new wf's....
Done with this wall of text and hope it helps you. Conclusion , defenetlly I would by this watch again even after this many months. To convince you I can tell you that I currently own 4 garmins, 1 Moto, 1 Samsung, 1 amazfit and some other sport bracelets, with gt2 being may main one even comparted to my amazfit gtr
Awesome - thanks for taking the time @mauk to answer all my questions!
Bit disappointed with the standby watch faces being so gimped (why no raise to wake or notifications) but I'm still tempted.
Looks like raise to wake is the way to go - are you happy with the "hit rate"/accuracy of raise to wake or do you often find yourself tapping the screen/shaking your arm to activate the watch?
Yep, no issue to wake when raising and sleep when lowering the arm. Hit rate is pretty good for me. Ah and yes, it has no tap to wake, only button pushing
Seems to me that mine will raise to wake when the standby face on if I immediately do so after a notification vibration comes in. Say the standby face is on and I'm walking, if it vibrates a notification and I immediately pull my arm up to look it'll show it to me. I also noticed when I sleep or take my watch off the standby face will eventually go dark (which I like)
I actually tried the standby face because I get annoyed that the watch constantly wakes up on the slightest movement, especially when driving.
I do wish I could read messages more than a couple of lines and the icons for WHAT notified matched the app (does have the gmail icon). I don't care about responding to messages. One thing I got that I wasn't expecting was the ability to control my phones music. Reviews I read said you couldn't, only the watches locally stored music but there must have been an update.
