I managed to get my Zenwatch set up for the first time with my Galaxy S4 (running Lollipop 5.0.1) yesterday, but following an OTA update on the watch (to 5.1.1) the battery life seemed awful (about 8 hours), so I tried a factory reset of the watch. Since then I have struggled to get the phone to re-connect to the watch.
I've tried another factory reset of the watch, and un-installing the Android Wear and Asus Zenwatch Manager apps from my phone, but the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch - it just hangs at "Connecting..."
I did manage to manually pair with the watch using Bluetooth Settings on the phone, and this got the Android Wear app connected, but I was still unable to connect the Asus Zenwatch Manager app to the watch, and the clock on the watch was showing 1 hour behind (my local time is BST), and I wasn't receiving any notifications on the watch.
So I factory reset the watch again, uninstalled and re-installed Android Wear on the phone, and I'm back to the situation where the Android Wear app will not connect to the watch.
Any ideas??
I occasionally have that problem, reboot the phone and watch and all is well again.

Unfortunately a phone reboot didn't do it for me. I found that "forgetting" the watch from the Android Wear app, then a factory reset of the watch, got me reconnected to the Android Wear app, but I still couldn't get the Asus Zenwatch Manager to connect to the watch.
Re update again, i find it update are downloaded in the watch and waiting for us to execute, just go to setting on your watch and choose about, then software update. there must be and update waiting and you can just touch update... it works with me... just make sure you check software update regularly if this problem happens. it just need to most update android wear to be installed and will connect with the latest zenwatch manager
hope this help

Hi All,
I have receive for Christmas a SW3.
I already have a LG G2 (D802) running Lollipop :

With Render Kernel :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/kernel-render-kernel-aosp-lg-roms-t2803929
I have update the SW3 to official 5.0.1 with PC Companion.
Then install Android Wear from the market on the phone :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app&hl=fr
I had "Sleep as Android" app already installed on the phone before get the watch.
I have connect the watch to the phone then I have try to install different apps as :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appfour.wearbrowser
Without problem, the apps appear on the watch., "Sleep as Android" too.
But now, I can't success to install any other apps. I have try :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rocketstartups.wearcalculator
Or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.hoomi.athere
But the apps doesn't appear on the watch, I don't understand how to sync the phone and the watch.
I guess I'm too new and there is something that I haven't understand.
Please someone drive me !
Thank you in advance.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Android Wear is the only "must have" app to manage the watch ?
No need Smart Connect or LiveWear ?...
Open android wear on phone click on the settings gear and click on resync apps
Hello,
Thank you but That doesn't help...
What app do you use to sync the watch?

Android wear is a "must-have" app. And you need also "Google" search app to make sure android wear runs well. (for "ok google" function certainly.)
Did you try to "forget watch device" in android wear and repair it ?
Maybe a factory reset will help, but it is the last option.
Thank you for your reply.
I have disable the location to save battery and the sync have work...
I don't understand!
But now, all work as it should.
Hi,
I'm an expert on SmartWatch 3 and have met with a programmer from the Google team. You require 2 things to fully install apps on your watch, which take max 60 minutes to sync to your watch 100%
1. The first requirement to make sure apps install 100% is a WiFi router network which your phone is connected to, and your SmartWatch 3 is within range of the
area of the router.
2. Your Smartwatch 3 and your Android phone on charge during about 1 hour. The apps sync fast while the battery is being charged, and sync slower if not plugged in.
Do these two things, and the apps will install over WiFi directly from your phone to the watch through WiFi settings of the router.
I just lived in Philippines for 1 month, bought a new Sony phone there and tried installing my Smartwatch 3 over mobil data connection to the phone without a router and not a single app synced. 1 week later ONE app synced. I came home to my country of Sweden with my router and did the same thing with a reset of the watch, and all apps synced in about 45 minutes.
recently I've bought ASUS zenwatch. But after pairing with my Lenovo P780 running on Kitkat 4.4.2, it's keep disconnected and cannot connect.
I have check my Google Play Service, Google Now, and all programs need to be updated, all checked.
I tried to reset device my zenwatch 5 times, and still after pairing with my P780 it will disconnected. The Initialization was running and the Setup done on my zenwatch, but in my android wear on my phone just gets status Updating. And finally Android wear in my phone just says "Trying to connect" .
I also try to bluetooth connect with manual connect from both my phone and zenwatch, and stll after pairing request, it's just disconnected.
what should i check now? :crying:
In the android wear app dropdown menu select disconnect from zen watch, then reconnect from the same menu

I try to connect it with my brother's Xiaomi Redmi Note, it's connected flawlessly. Then i try do system update my zenwatch to Build 5.0.2, but still i can't connect to my phone.
I think the problem is in my phone, i had it flash manually twice, now it's running on Build P780_ROW_S228_150112 KitKat 4.4.2 , but i don't see any issue about my phone after i flash it, except for this Zenwatch issue. I had it well connected with earphone bluetooth.
What should i check about in my phone regarding this issue?
Uninstall Android wear and ZenWatch manager, forget the phone on Bluetooth. Factory reset the phone and start the process from scratch. Make sure you disable the Wi-Fi option when reinstalling Android wear.

I read on other forum, it seems the trouble is in Kitkat version on Lenovo P780. Other people using same phone cannot connect to any android wear (moto 360, sony smartwatch, LG watch). Temporary solution is to use custom ROM for Nexus 5 chinabase version.
Hi guys,
i bought the secondhand sony smartwatch 3 today and i have a problem with connection
The phone does'nt detect the watch. when i am running Android Wear app and seek watches, phone doesn't detect my smartwatch.
i trying reset watch. not helped.
Please help.
Did you go through the Android Wear app's pairing process? After a factory reset the watch guides you through the steps on how to pair with your phone. Also check that the watch isn't paired as a regular bluetooth device first (forget the device in bluetooth settings of the phone before trying to setup via android wear)
You definitely need to factory reset the watch in order to begin the correct pairing sequence with your phone, if you haven't already done so.

After the 2.0 update on my Huawei Watch, I had some problems with connectivity so I reset my watch. Now my Phone (Huawei Nexus 6P) can not pair with the phone. The Watch does not show up in Android Wear and my Bluetooth connections. So far I have reset my phone and watch but made zero progress. Anybody else that has encountered this problem?
Same exact situation here, i just got the watch from the B&HPhoto open box deal, paired and worked perfectly with my Nexus 6P. Updated to wear 2.0 and no matter what i try my Google account won't sync. WiFi, Bluetooth connected fine but Google account connection just sits and spins. I kind of like 2.0 better, seems smoother, and don't wanna have to roll back. Any help would be greatly appreciated¡
I had the same problem when updated to AW 2.0.
At the end I had to restore the smartwatch to factory settings a couple of times, and finally the Android wear app was able to find my watch...
Finally got my Google account to sync. All i had to do was clear the data and cache in the apps Google, Google play services, Play store, and Android Wear then reset the watch...... Four or five times. Something the average consumer would think of doing, lol. Get your chit together and fix this Google!!!
**Update... Problem solved by doing a full reset on my watch. Also, apparently the Huawei app no longer supports the HW1 as well.
I had to do a hard reset on my LG Stylo 3 the other day and today I find that I cannot install a different watch face from my WatchMaker app because the watch is not connected to the Wear OS app. The watch is connected to my phone via Bluetooth and WiFi but the Wear OS app cannot find it. It will not connect to the Huawei Wear app as well. I have reset the BT connection as well as did a re-pairing of the watch to the phone as well. I hope one of you has a solution for this as I am out of ideas other than doing a full reset on the watch. Thanks for any help on this.
