I have been using my Moto 360 sport for some time. I recently switched phones and I am now using Samsung S7. No matter what I try, Google Fit does not show up on my watch, not as an app nor as watch faces.
I have tried to reset the watch, and after setting it up again, everything is ok, except Google Fit, which is missing.
I have tried to delete the app from my phone and installing it again, but it does not help. I have tried, inside the Android Wear app, to sync all apps again, but it still does not sync to the watch.
What can I try now?
Download an older apk for fit from apkmirror (version 1.59) and install. Resync all apps, fit should show on your watch now. Later on update the app to the latest version using Google play store.

So I just upgraded my phone to the HTC One A9 that is running Marshmallow. I also recently bought a Moto 360 V1. It updated fine without me having to force it. However, I don't have GMail nor GroupMe on my Moto 360 and my Google Hangout app won't even load. I went into Android Wear app and even tried the older version other people have suggested. I even did the resync apps on there with no success. I'm wondering if it's Marshmallow that's doing this or am I just oblivious and noob-like. My experience is that I've rooted every android I've had with ease.
I'm not aware that GMail installs an app on an Android Wear watch, it uses Wear-enabled notifications (to allow for replying from the watch). If Hangouts has not been updated on the phone since pairing the 360, Hangouts may not have installed the Android Wear component. Perhaps uninstalling updates from Hangouts and then reinstalling them will trigger the Android Wear component install. I'm not familiar with GroupMe.

I think you're right. Only certain apps are actually on the watch itself. It appears that most things are only notified. I have found 3rd party apps that you can scroll through things like twitter and gmail. I uninstalled and reinstalled Hangouts with no luck. I guess I'll have to just do without. Working well so far though. Guess I can't fully replace my phone with the watch, but I'm loving it.
Yeah, like sfringer said, Gmail doesn't have an Android Wear specific app. You'll only get new message notifications from Google Now. If you think some apps haven't synced to the watch correctly you can open the Android Wear app on your phone, navigate to the settings menu for the Moto 360 and select "Resync Apps" to resync all available Android Wear apps to your Moto
I just purchased the Smartwatch 3. I like the watch but have a problem. Not all of the wear apps are loading on the watch. For instance, I've downloaded Ghostracer, Runtastic and Endomondo and while they appear on my phone; they do not appear on the watch. However, other apps I have downloaded are on there and I can install new watch faces. Oddly enough Spotify and Skype are on the watch and I didn't attempt to put them on my watch. It seems to be hit or miss.
I sent an email to the manufacturer of one of the apps and they said it may be due to Google Play Services not being the most recent. I am currently on version 9.4.52.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem at the beginning of my adventure with SW3.
Google Play Services is too old.
Try force-updating it on your phone (use this link) or else just wait a couple hours, it should update itself both on phone and on the watch. Anyway AFAIK Android Wear app shows an information when Google Play Services are out of date but I'm not sure.
Or try force-syncing the apps in the watch settings in Android Wear app.
Or, as I've already told, just wait a couple of hours and make sure you have your watch paired and connected to the phone during that time
Or if nothing happens, try unpairing the watch. It will reset to the factory settings (you won't lose any data connected with the watch from your phone except the watch that was paired), pair the watch again and wait for the setup to complete, it will sync all the necessary apps with the phone.

Thanks for replying. You were right. I tapped on the version and it updated like 4 times during the night. When I woke all of the apps were on the watch.
Really pleased with the upgrade to AW 2.0 and I LOVE my Huawei Watch. Only thing that doesn't seem to be working is resyncing apps!
On AW 1.5, I used to update my apps on the phone when prompted, then I would resync apps to the Watch through the phone's AW, to ensure the watch had the latest update. Once the resyncing was (or seemed) completed, the watch screen used to go blank before returning to norm. I thought this signified that the apps had all been updated on the watch.
With AW 2.0, I go through the same process but now the watch screen no longer goes blank, so I can't tell if the apps on the watch have been successfully updated. I realise you can update apps directly from the watch and I have 'automatic update' switched on for the watch. Four apps have been updated (according to the watch) but they must have been by the watch rather than me resyncing because the rest of the updated apps on the phone are not mentioned as having been upgraded on the watch.
Today I have downloaded ParKing (parked car finder) onto my phone and tried to sync it to my watch but the app hasn' t transferred across to the watch. All other notifications from phone to watch work. Anyone else had this and sorted the problem?
Sorted the ParKing app to my Watch. I went online to Google, my apps, clicked on 'compatible with all your devices', and bounced it to the Watch. Still a little confused over the resyncing via AW on the phone though.

Most apps do not sync anymore with AW 2.0. You need to use the Play Store on the watch to download them to the watch. Many watch apps do not need to be on the phone any more.
Much appreciated. I didn't realise. This change to updating directly on the watch makes more sense.
EDIT - IMPORTANT: THE 2.13 UPDATE OF WEAR OS SOLVES THIS PROBLEM
This is what worked for me. It is the combination of two solutions that did not work for me separately.
Restore the watch.
On the phone delete all Google accounts.
Clear cache and data from the App Wear Os. Uninstall App Wear Os. Then remove cache and data from applications Play Store, Google and Google services.
With the phone browser download an old version of the Android Wear application, specifically the 2.8.0.183316206.gms of January 26:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-wear/android-wear-2-8-0-183316206-gms-release/android-wear-smartwatch-2-8-0-183316206-gms-android-apk-download/
Install the apk. Remember to have the installation of unknown sources enabled.
Before opening the Android Wear application you must enable all its permissions.
Then open the App and pair with the watch.
When they are already paired, follow the watch presentation tutorial. At the time of the presentation of the Google voice assistant, you must indicate on the watch that you want to add an account from your phone. If everything went well, the system asks for confirmation of the password.
When the Google account is already added, you must go to the Play Store App of the watch and update the applications indicated by the system.
VERY IMPORTANT: DESEABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES ON THE PHONE (if Wear Os updates, the problems appear again)
The downside of this solution is that we have to keep an old version of the Android Wear App. Personally I only use this App so that the phone is paired with the phone.
If anyone has any doubts about the method I can try to help him.
Sorry for my Google Translate English.
Thanks work for me
I can not open the link..Can you upload it again please?

Since 2.13 Wear Os App everything works fine.
I have a Huawei Watch V1 and I can't connect to my google account, so google fit, google assistant, android play, market etc. nothing was used. Finally I tried it on my old model xiaomi mi 5s plus (I kept it in the drawer as a spare for a long time) and everything connected as it should. Who knows, maybe it's stuck with google embargo. I hope this information is useful to you. Good luck.
my sony smartwatch 3 don't syncing my apps!!! I've factory-reset the watch and phone multiple times. I've cleared the cache for Google Play Service, Wear OS. Notifications (such as text messages) work just fine, but I don't see third party apps in the smartwatch
Hi, the reason is that new android apps have suppport for wear os 2.0 (wich has a kind of playstore for companion app installation) only, and dropped wear os 1.6 support.
I think you must install old apps for the time of the watch was available. I still have a SW3 and a G-Watch with Android 1.5 and I must keep often old app to have the app on the watch. Often, if I update the phone 3rd app this app stay on watch (not updated) but often continu to works on watch.
You must also force the "sync" in Wear advanced settings and more than one time I have the app installed on the watch only after 3 days........
yes...I have this problem too...
Update Google services play
Hi, I was on the same problem, you need to update your google play service up to the 20.xx versión, via usb, try the 15 second adb installer, download google play service (wear os) on apk mirror, use the install adb command
Hi, you can take a look here if you still didn't find a solution
