Are there any mods to extend battery life? I'm using eXistenz rom and it has decent battery life, but I'm wondering are there any mods/scripts to extend it more
There is no magic to save battery.. You can: Turn off everything you are not using (Bluetooth, GPS...), enable Extended Standby Mode, reduce screen brightness to 30% or so, remove bloatware, underclock processor, change governor, greenify apps like Facebook, if you don't use Google Apps you can freeze Google Play Services, remove the vibration on the keyboard and the touch sounds, keep an eye on your wakelocks, and if you like you can use apps like Snapdragon Battery Guru.

On my Moto 360 i can change the watch face colors around. Im not seeing that on the Smartwatch 3. Am i missing something? I dont see a sony app either for this phone like motorola has for the 360.

You need to download Android wear from the play store...you can change the watch face by long pressing the face of the watch...there are not too many things you can with it at this time
That's a Motorola thing. All other android wear watches you can only choose the face.
Try the facer app. Lets you create any face and colors as long as you put some effort in images or downloaded samples (facerepo.com)
Where i can find this face or how i cand enable battery statys on original Pascual face on my moto 360.
I'm using an app called Always on AMOLED/Edge Lighting by newGen Mobile and it's pretty cool. It has an always on clock and edge lighting (weird considering the name ) that lights when an alert comes in (email, etc.). The edge alert is great since there is no LED. The free app is pretty good, but there are a lot more options with the paid app - for $2 it's worth it. Battery drain is very low too, but I use all white text on the clock face - color will drain it faster.
I'm not the developer or represent them in any way, just a satisfied customer.
Awesome thanks.
I dl this app the first or second day I got the phone and immediately deleted it cause of the battery drain on my device was ridiculous is the battery drain fixed??
If you're rooted try substratum app and the aod enabler theme in the play store.
Lots of pretty watch faces... none of them seem to display that much useful information, especially text. I'm trying to see my the name of my next calendar event on the watch face
thanks

I am using the Concentric one. You can choose a Slot and select Next Event there.
That doesn't show the title of the next calender event in my experience. All I get is the number of minutes to the next event which is pretty useless IMO

Thanks, that looks good. So odd that Google themselves doesn't support this
I've tried this watch face, so far I'm liking it a lot more than Google's efforts.

I'm using outlook for Android and is great
A deeper look at Outlook for Android Wear | Microsoft 365 Blog
Today, we are introducing the Outlook watch face for Android Wear. With the Outlook watch face, you can quickly see an overview of your day’s schedule along with key details on where you need to be next. Staying on top of your day has never been easier.
www.microsoft.com
Check out some of the faces by Matteo Dini. Very nice quality and many give you both the time and text for your next calendar appointment.
This one is MD307.
Lots of adjustability. Colors, complications, shortcuts, etc ..
I've got it set for (from to to bottom)
Battery (with larger dial too), heart rate, unopened notifications (with a shortcut to it's left), EVENTS, day, date, moon phase, time, seconds, month, weather with temp, steps (with daily goal to the left).
Many of these can be changed to something else.

Hi Flogi12,
on the SS, you seem to use the AOD option on your Pixel Watch.
I read everywhere that it was very battery consumer.
What is your opinion about this? Is it better to have AOD or tilt to watch?

To be honest, i never tried tilt to wake with the pixel watch. Had a Ticwatch E and a Fossil Gen5 before and with both of them consumed more battery with TTW than with AOD and i also find only AOD more convenient.
On WearOS 2 you saw the full notifications when they arrived anyways. And with the Pixel Watch and disabled TTW , when a notification arrives and you tilt it, it shows the full text.
So AOD and no TTW is always the preffered setting for me.
