I know it was rumor and hear/say, but I was wondering if hope was still alive.
There is with third party apps
Tried the main one, Aerlink. It's a good attempt, I can't really critique as I have zero programming skills. I know the Pebble watch has good support, as do the many fitness trackers that seem to pop up every day.
I understand Apple doesn't want direct competition for their Watch, but still...
right now, google confirms iphone support, but only for the LG Watch Urbane, maybe later we'll get support too. "There is a slight catch though. Android Wear for iOS currently works with the LG Watch Urbane, while future Android Wear watches (including ones from Huawei, Asus and Motorola) will come with built-in support for iOS. "
That sounds like a 2 part update. A software update for the watch, and an actual app for iOS. I say that because if it's just an iOS app, why make the app recognize only one type of Wear hardware and exclude other types of Wear hardware? I suppose marketing comes into play, wanting users to constantly upgrade their hardware.
Seems to be working if your 360 is running the latest update Android Wear 1.3, mine is still running the last update so can't confirm. I can confirm mine will not pair with the current version I am on Android Wear 1.1.1.2006643.

IT WORKS! So cool.

I have had mine and my brothers connected with this version. You don't get watch faces but it does work. We have since updated to the 1.3 and now can use watch faces. the phone are a iphone 5 and a iphone 6 plus(mine)
Mine connected with 1.1.1.2006643, but it is draining the battery like no other. Now, I'm updating it to latest version with another phone, so I'll provide an update on how it works.
I had to remove it set it back up with my m8 to update it. With the watch connected to the iphone it would not update and the battery died very quickly.
after i updated it and resynced back to my iphone it seems fine. i'll give it a couple of days.
I've been running my 360 with my iPhone 6 Plus for 24 hours now and so far the battery drain is marginal.
That is also probably due to me digging into the features and using the watch a lot more than normal.
Big note though, WiFi sync is not available on iOS.
The toggle is not visible on the watch either.
Just got this up and running, not bad really. Mine seems to disconnect and attempt to reconnect a lot, usually giving me some kind of notification on the watch, but when it is connected it works as expected.
Has anyone tried to pair the watch to both an android and an iPhone at the same time?? I bought a few watch faces while attached to a Nexus tablet, but then did a factory reset to get my watch to pair with the iPhone, effectively removing all of my watch add-ons. I'd like to get some back....
Tried to pair with both iPhone and Android and that's a no go.
Also tried to Factory Reset, install on Android with apps and watchfaces and unpair on Android before trying to pair with iPhone.
That was a no go as well.
Probably a way to pair with both possible but no solution yet it seems.

Did it work?
How exactly did you update it to 1.3 with another phone? I've paired my moto360 with and Android phone and updated it but it won`t show on Android Wear iOS to pair...
It seems like Android Wear iOS installs the 1.1 whenever I pair it with moto360. 1.1 is draining my battery so fast it becomes a useless watch. It actually drains faster than the charger can charge.
S.u.c.k.s
Mine was draining battery like crazy. Updated my 360 and 2 resets later all seems like back to Normal with the battery.

Android Wear for iOS does not modify the OS on your watch.
If your watch is on 1.3, it will not change.
You have to do a factory reset in order to pair it with iOS.

This works for a USB cabled watch, Moto 360 won't work.
Works on iPhone 4s also. Or at least it is for me.
Here's my experience. With 1.1 watch os, won't work. Upgraded to 1.3. Can connect with iPhone 5s now. However, only google cards work, not other notifications from other apps. Reset it and went back with aerlink.

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.

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.

Me too, I don't know if this is normal.

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

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.

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.
Has anyone had an issue where you can't get watch faces to display the date? I mark "show date" in the moto connect app and it shows where it should be but nothing on the watch itself.
Also my watch doesn't load certain watch faces... Again they show up in the moto connect app but I cant find them on the watch itself. Example, I make adjustments to the "Dials II" watch face and save it. On the watch it says I update the "minimal watch face" and dials II is not an option.
Are any of these known problems and/or does anyone know a fix for them? I could use some help here. Let me know if you need additional info....
And I need a bump for some help.
Yep. I'm having the same issue after the update. No solution as of yet.

2. Remove Moto360 pairing from phone.
3. Uninstall Android Wear and Motorola Connect, reboot device.

5. Reinstall Motorola connect.
5a. Curse under your breath that you had to do this AGAIN.

Thanks for the help. I swear I did this like 8 or 9 times... Finally got it though.
didn't work for me... Software update did
Just got brand new moto360 from Costco. I'm on a nexus 6 stock. Watch wouldn't show date even though I customized it on moto connect and it showed a date in there. Tried the above steps and didn't work for me...
I had checked for a system update on the watch right after I set it up, and it said it was up to date. After following the instructions above with no success, out of options, I checked for updates on the watch again. Lo and behold it started downloading an update. It took about 5-10 minutes and I got a card saying it was ready to update. Of course now the battery's already down to 63% and update requires 80%+... Another 20 minutes on the charger before I could update. Update took about 15 minutes. Now everything is magically working...
Have to say, not the greatest experience so far...
Hi everyone! yesterday i recived my OnePlus3 and i found problems with the connection with my smartwatch: i have Motorola Moto 260 (second generation) and i can pair with the smartwatch but when i try to connect with android wear the smartwatch is disappeared. when i check the devices on my moto 360 i found my OP3 but is impossible to connect with the device. i tried with my old phone (nexus 5) and the sync is correct without problems; so i tried with another smartwatch and is not possible even with this (in this case my phone not disclose this second smartwatch).
HELP PLEASE.
PS. i don't know if this is the correct section about this thread....
Did you factory reset the watch? I have my lg g watch r paired to my op3 and working perfectly fine with Android wear.

Moto360 2nd gen and OnePlus 3 - no notifications
I have a moto 360 2nd gen which paired perfectly with my Oneplus One. Then I bought the OP3. Now the watch still paired with the OP3 but my notifications have stopped coming through to the watch. Every time I restart the phone, the notifications work fine but in about 2 hours they gradually stop, one app at a time. Changing my watch face to the stock moto watch face also doesn't work. I tried fiddling with app permission and app notification settings but nothing seems to work. What's most puzzling is that google app notifications keep coming through, and before the android community starts trolling me saying its obvious, in the same breath let me say that along with the Google app, the Outlook app also manages to push notifications to my watch with no trouble. And the settings for both these apps is exactly the same as all my other apps.
My take is that the aggressive memory management of the OnePlus 3 could be the reason for this and maybe the only fix for people who dont want to get under the hood of is an OS update with a patch to address this bug.

What's most puzzling is that google app notifications keep coming through, and before the android community starts trolling me saying its obvious, in the same breath let me say that along with the Google app, the Outlook app also manages to push notifications to my watch with no trouble. And the settings for both these apps is exactly the same as all my other apps.
My take is that the aggressive memory management of the OnePlus 3 could be the reason for this and maybe the only fix for people who dont want to get under the hood of is an OS update with a patch to address this bug.

Facing similar issue on my Op3 with Moto 360 2nd Gen. (I also was with OPO and 360 2nd Gen and now migrated to Op3) I have to manually open Android Wear App to start notifications. Works for some time and then notifications stop coming though watch.
More bug I found that the news apps are also need to be reopened for notifications to start.
It acting like a super dose on the go to save battery.

Opening the Android wear app doesn't help in my case. The app just shows a message saying 'NOTIFICATIONS STOPPED SYNCING' and asks me to restart the phone. This throttling down of active memory to save battery is killing the utility of my smart watch
Issue resolved!!
So after a lot of permutations and combinations, I've figured out a way:
Open the Android wear app
Go to home screen
Fire up the recents menu
Lock the android wear app (using the little lock icon that appears on the top right of the app window in the recents view)
I did this a couple of days ago and my Moto360 2nd gen is a smart watch all over again. No more missing notifications
P. S. I haven't received the Oxygen OS 3.2.1 OTA update yet and hope to stop using my manual hack post the update since the OTA update promises to bring better RAM managent to the OP3 among other tweaks.
The day after I received my new Note 10 - I plugged my Note 10 Plus into my Kenword (head unit in my car) and before I could do anything with Android Auto, I got a message saying "Update" -
So a new Android Auto update installed and therre are many improvements I have found - I wondered what anyone else who uses Android Auto in the car stereo unit thought about it?
ONe of the biggest things I like is that I don't have to launch android auto and then choose IHeartRadio everytime I turn on the car like I used to. Now, Android Auto and IHeart Radio starts by default as soon as I plug in my phone and start driving. I think it is automatically launching the last program I used which makes it easier when you get in your car and plug in.
The UI has improved a lot too - offering a much improved layout - easier to access the different programs, easier to use.
The only disappointment is I still don't get Wireless connection to Android Auto like it works on Google Pixel devices. (I thought Android Auto was supposed to be wireless for all devices that are on android 9 and later, but I guess that hasn't happened yet. Hopefully that will change soemtime soon.
In any event, I use Android Auto whenever I am in my car. I love the iHeart Radio Ap and the tight integration with my phone, google maps and more and I really like the new update they launched.
What do you think of the new version of Android Auto ?
i like the old android auto better, it much easier to switch google map and waze.
on this new android auto, i have to keep scrolling until waze or google map, my car doesnt have touch screen.
i wish we can rearrange the icons.
The new update is WAY better in my opinion. Looks better and is more user friendly.

I agree. before the update it took multiple steps for me to start listening to my Favorite stations thru I Heart Radio - after the update, the last station I listened to starts playing almost immediately after starting the car and plugging in my phone. Much Better for me....and personally, I really like the new UI
I just wish i could get a full screen map with out all the extra junk
