The software seems a bit flaky. New SMS does not display message details......still investigating
I eventually managed to download music tracks to the device and they played okay over bluetooth headphones. Not tried the GPS yet
Any questions I will try and answer

Can you run my tracks via the start on the phone (offline mode) that used watch GPS and let me know if the music stutters? It seems to happen when bluetooth and internal GPS are enabled...im on 2nd device and same issue
download my tracks to phone, then go to apps on watch and run that app, then start music via watch memory

Sure...
Download My tracks (google) from play store. Get google music (if not already) and download some songs to your watch...do this by downloading to your phone first (offline) and then selecting in music options to download to android wear. Let a few songs load over.
Go outside. Go to the watch (make sure far from phone and disconnected). Start tracks with the start menu. Then do start on that
Now do play music from the same menu as start.
Go for a jog
OP's can help us all (please; this is a suggestion not a criticism) by listing what they are pairing with :good:

I've had mine since Friday. Have you found any way use the running apps without the phone and use the watch gps? I bought this to replace my motoactiv but stava and runtastic won't allow me to start a run without being connected to the phone.

Download google tracks to your phone.
It will work in offline mode and give you distance and time via the watch GPS. Start it via the start menu and select tracks. The running apps are still through the phone currently.

It didn't work for me yesterday when I tried during my run. Started it from the watch when I was not with my phone and the distance just stayed at 0

Give it a minute and you should see a little location google stake on the top left. It worked for me and i could see my entire mapped run via tracks afterwards. Make you start it, give it a minute and then try. It took mine about .15 of a mile to kick in
You can also go into GPS test under Settings- Developer options - manufacturer - GPS and press start to check time to first fix.

I don't think this is a defect. It is the trade-off for the tft tech making it fully daylight readable. Mine also has this. I'm torn on the trade-off, on the one hand, it is leagues better than even the moto 360 for reading in direct sunlight (it's almost like a mirasol display), but on the other, the 360's screen was very pretty. I'm leaning towards being "ok" with it, since I don't think I'm going to watch any movies on my wrist, but I will probably want to deal with notifications in unideal lighting, but it is definitely an adjustment.
I don't mind the yellow. Its actually not that bad and the screen is definitely visible in the daylight. I am really liking this watch alongside with my Microsoft Band.

How is the health tracking on the band? This watch has some great features, but none of the android wear watches do true health tracking very well yet, and even if it had a heart rate monitor, I've been unimpressed with the ones on the 360 and gear live, so I've been thinking about adding something purely for the health side of things.

The band is great. Its not big and it definitely doe fitness better than the Android Wear. The 24/7 heart rate tracker gives you a better count on how many calories burned, and the only feature that you lose when not using the Windows Phone is Cortana. When I was using it on the 5K run that I had participated with the GPS on, the band was able to tell me where I was running fast and where I had slowed down and so fourth and it was very accurate along side the path that I was running on. The 5K reported that the run was 3.2 miles which was pretty dead on to the 5K. The pedometer is more accurate too compared to the android wear since mine will count steps even if I am pushing a shopping cart so all in all I really like the band for fitness with smartwatch duties as secondary. I can read everything just fine from the notifications when not using the Smartwatch 3, but at least now I can let the band do all my fitness stuff when I go on the run and have the Sony Smartwatch stream my music for me to run with. That way I don't have to carry the phone.
Thanks for confirming this. I guess there is no perfect solution out there for smart watches yet. The screen does bother me some times specially because i had the moto 360 and returned it. but that watch had its own set of problems.
guess i will be keeping this.

As for on device tracking I hope that Sony and others will include support for just released google fit api on device.
My screen shows whites correctly. I don't see the yellowish problem here.
My screen is unimpressive (pale, low contrast) but OK. A colour tinge is normal for a transflective display, and it depends on the colour of the light you shine on it...the nice thing is that I can read it without the backlight in most situations.
What bothers me is, that some things that work on Google Now on my phone don't work via Wear Voice input. Setting alarms for example. It works fine on my phone, but not on my SW3. Why? On the Watch it always understands, but then just throws up a web search card...
Also, the "wrist flick" to activate the display is a bit weird. It works about 1 time out of ten, but if I just move my arm around randomly, then I often trigger the backlight. That's also a bit weird. I'm trying to get used to it. With my Pebble, I mostly just glanced at the watch without moving it in front of my eyes. That worked fine. I had actually turned off the auto-backlight on Pebble and would probably do the same on the SW3 if I could.
The most annoying thing is the weak vibration of the SW3. With my Pebble, I feel (and hear) the vibrating alert, with the SW3 I miss it frequently even when I'm not moving around. That's unacceptable and might be the main reason for sending it back. I haven't decided yet.
Is there a way to increase the vibration intensity and length? That would be cool.
And one last thing, not directly related to the SW3...On my Pebble I get notifications for every email in my Gmail account, apart from SPAM. With Android Wear, I think not all labels are signalled. How do I change that? I tried to set it up in Gmail, but I think I still don't get all emails announced on the SW...
I can't start navigation my Moto 360 for some reason. I used to be able to say a location, and it would open Maps on my phone, and the navigation would start. Now when I try to navigate to a location it says to check phone to continue, bur nothing is there when I check my phone. It the Android Wear app on my phone it says for navigation that it's using Maps Micro, not sure what that is and why it's not the full Google Maps. I'm on CM 12 on my Note 3. I tried reinstalling Maps, and restarting my watch.
I have the same problem. I just got my Moto360 and was under the impression, that one could start a navigation directly on my watch.
Anybody?
A fix was pushed out via the phones maps update yesterday. Motorola recommended giving about 20 minutes after the app updates on the phone for the changes to sync to watch

And it's still not working. At least not for me...
The downgrade of maps worked on my LG G watch . Thanks for the link.
I had a similar problem with my Huawei Watch + Note 4 (stock). My Smartwatch 3 does not have the same issue, so I figured it had somethong to do with using the GPS in the phone vs the GPS in the watch, which to the best of my knowledge there is none in the Huawei. So I pulled the phone out of my pocket, opened my LED Flip Wallet case, put my phone in standby, and gave the navigation command on the watch. Surprise surprise, it worked! But, I noticed the screen came on on the phone and "Maps" opened. So I then closed the flip wallet, tried again. This time I got the error on the watch, Can't Start Navigation. Seems like it's the flip case! That's too bad, I really like my flip case.
So in short, if you're using a Samsung and one of their flip wallet or S-View cases, that could be your culprit. Seeing as Android Wear is Google and the cases and phones are Samsung, I doubt either party is going to help us with this issue. Hoping someone smarter than I can come up with a software solution or settings workaround for this here on XDA!
Ever since updating this evening, I'm getting unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped over and over. I hit ok, it comes back.
No clue what's causing it. The only thing that changed was I updated Android Wear app.

Make sure your phone is running latest Google Play Services (7.0.97)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms
What Play Services version is running on your 360? Settings > About > tap Software Version. Should be 7.0.95

figured it out, just sync the apps from android wear app, thanks anyway
Solution to update until they fix the issue!
Hi guys,
well this is what I did!
You have to delete Android Wear from your phone and then download the last update APK and install this on your phone, so in a sense you are taking the Android Wear back to the last update:
so firstly delete android wear app on phone
On your phone:
Google Android Wear 1.0.5.1724356 and select first entry apkmirror
scroll down to All Versions and choose whether you want the last one Mar 12th or Feb 25th, incidently I chose Feb 25th
Click on download arrow and then click to install on phone, you may need to tick allow download from outside sources, this site is google approved so is ok.
and thats it, you now have the previous version, I would advise installing My Backup pro as this will allow you to save your APKs if you accidentally update one again in the future. You could also deselect the auto update on the Android Wear app.
Best

I had to go into my watch settings and do a factory reset and re-install android wear app (not sure if re-installing the app really did anything, but didn't hurt)...It was annoying having to set it up all over again and blocking cards I do not want to show up, but its better then this constant notification killing my battery.

Me too. Tried once to factory reset the watch, reinstall the latest Android Wear to my phone and resync the apps. However, the result isn't encouraging at all. The watch was quite hot.
I switched off the bluetooth and let the watch to cool down. Then, I will do another trial. Wish me luck. Thanks!
Thank you sir, that did the trick in my case!

Put me into the boat of this error, it's not all the time, but goes in cycles. I'll get it for an 8 hr stretch, then nothing. I've tried everything except hard resetting my watch. I'm hoping for an update on either play services for the phone or watch to get rid of it. Might be that my Corp email is my most frequent notification, but that is where i see it most.
Phone is 4.4.2 Sprint Galaxy S4T stock build with custom recovery and rooted. No system modifications other than root
reset the device
Fixed!
I did a factory reset. Didn't work the first time, I kept clicking away those pop-ups... I tried again without touching the watch and about 20 minutes later I was good to go, without the process error.
Guys it's way more easier than this , just go too apss and find google play services the touch it, click on uninstall updates then ok and just let it u installed, then go to play storeor wait till notification pup-up about play music or hangout or android wear need app requered and click. On it or in play store search for google play services , both will end at same page , then click update and let it install the latest version and finished , all errors will be vanished, enjoy it.

My Uninstall Updates is grey and not clickable
You need to disable one of your 'Administrators.' Basically, hit the 'disable' button and it will ask you if you want to, hit yes. Then it will ask if you want to install the factory version, hit yes. Next it will take you to the 'Device Admin' in settings and you you will need to disable those, unless you only have one, in order to uninstall the previous update.
Update: The 'fix' given by scorpion_s66 did not work for me. I am now trying to reset my moto 360 but I cannot seem to do that either. All I can say is... Thanks Google! After I updated to the new Android Wear all these issues started. I reverted back to the older version but nothing changed. woooooooooooooooosssaaa wooossaaa woosa - Now I feel better (Bad Boys 2 just in case anyone doesn't get woosa).
I was impacted by this as well. After finding my watch on the charger yesterday morning red-hot and unusable (the same repeating error message mentioned earlier) I finally got it working by attempting a factory reset about 5+ times over the course of over an hour. It finally seemed to "take".
I've had this watch for about a week and while I like it and I'll keep it, I'm also coming to the conclusion that Google does not have it's A-team working on Android Wear. There are some really hacky implementations in here. I mean, why do my offline music transfers (phone to watch) automatically stop with no warning when the phone drops to 50% battery (which happens about about 50 songs). Why do I have to go through this ridiculous 5-times "ok google" to get rid of that message on the watch face? Seriously, who thought this was a good design? Why did many of our watches get nearly bricked after a Android Wear update on the phone? Why can't I use my watch or transfer music while it's charging? Why do I have to go through this elaborate process to view/access my list of apps?
Sorry for the rant. Last year I read a book titled "How Google Tests Software", which I found quite interesting at the time. This crap certainly gives me a different perspective..

I tend to disagree. I was having the same problem and I wasn't even able to set my moto 360 as those messages were constantly popping up. However, I came across the contacting google option, and within a minute after I made the request, they have actually got someone from the android wear team to call me... all the way to Australia and resolve my problem over the phone! Just because you read a book bad mouthing Google, doesn't mean it's all that crap!!
I took JustinConnor's reply and edited it a little, becase the original one was just partly helpful for me, so all the steps: (but still: BIG THATNKS, MAN!)
Delete android wear app from your phone
Download the last good version of ANDROID WEAR - for me it was version 1-1-1-1876095.
Make Factory Reset to your watch (not the sowt refactory reset - but REAL refactory reset through recovery mode with black-background (more of this in the end)
connect your watch to your phone via downloaded android wear app
Factory reset menu should look like black background and console-like words in the front (unfortunately I can't post links because I haven't posted 10 times yet - so forum do not allow me to do that).

I'll admit that my post was born out of frustration, but I do want to clarify that the "book" I referenced was written *by* Google employees and it doesn't bad-mouth them at all. It describes with a great degree of pride their software testing process, and it's a good read for anyone in the industry.
I do continue to be frustrated by many of the design decisions in Android Wear, and I maintain they must have their B-team working on this, or at least on the design. For some reason the "ok google" message started reappearing all of the sudden the other day (after I had gone through the ridiculous steps to make it go away days before). It's probably because I don't use the feature very much, but why do I need to be reminded of this in a way that completely interferes with my watch face? Then I was out for a run yesterday and my offline music playback just stopped at 15% battery. I guess it's to protect me from myself, kind of like how the music transfer from phone to watch automatically stops at 50% battery and doesn't work at all while the watch is on the charger. Offline playback was one of the important use cases for me (jogging without phone!). It works, but it's a poor user experience. Don't get me wrong, I like the watch and I personally think it's the best looking smartwatch on the market. It has some cool features, and it's good enough to keep using daily. But the software is disappointing and it's hard for me to recommend this to any of my friends. I was lucky enough to get a deal on it for about $100, and I'd probably be much more disappointed had I paid full price.
PS: Count me as one of the people really interested to see how this upcoming wifi functionality will work. I can get about 2 days out of this watch when I'm pretty careful with it. I can deal with 2 days. But any significant active use seems to drain the battery quickly. I'm having trouble understanding how a persistent wifi connection with the cloud will not eat through the battery in a matter of just a few hours, but I'm hoping Google will pull a rabbit out of its hat here. I just hope it's more than a half-baked checkmark on the "iwatch versus android" checklist.
My watch wont charge and i cant fatory reset it either, someone anyone know what to do?
Can you be a little bit more specific?
I had Friday the same issue after updating to Android Wear 1.1.1.1901499 with Google Play Services 7.3.36 .
Charging didn't work, because always the pop-up "Unfortunately,.... bla bla bla" so I turned off the watch.
Put on the charging cradle and let it charge until it turned on by itself.
20% charged, so turned off again and keep charging
At 35% I started the "Reset Watch-Game" interrupted several times by the "Unfortunately,...."
After felt 1 hour tapping the message away, the Moto360 finally made a reset, installed the previous Android Version and since then I am fine.
Today Google updated Android Wear to 1.1.1.1901499 by PlayStore, however my Google Play Service stays on 7.3.34.
I suspect Google Play Services 7.3.36 is only for FW 5.1.1 and won't work well with FW 5.02

Is there a required battery percent to reset?
I recently upgraded my HTC One M8 from CM13 to Lineage 14.1. I did a full wipe of the phone, installed the latest OpenGApps and reinstalled all my apps including the latest Android Wear app. I also wiped my Smartwatch 3 and reconnected it to my phone. Since the upgrade the stepcount from my watch isn't syncing to my phone (or online to fit.google.com). Other stuff syncs and all my apps are there as they were previously (Skype, Whatsapp, Hangouts, Maps, Music etc. Plus if I start a fit workout on my watch, this syncs fine and is displayed on my phone and online. It just seems to be steps, activity time and calories that don't get sync'd.
I have hard-reset the watch a couple of times, resync'd apps etc and the behaviour is the same. Currently my watch is displaying 729 steps and 641 calories. My phone (and online) however are showing 263 steps and 743 calories.
Any ideas?
Andy
EDIT: I have been playing around with resetting various things and it seems it is just one-way that isn't working - from the watch. So I managed to clear everything off on the watch and it then sync'd the steps recorded on the phone to the watch (311 steps). I then put the watch back on my wrist and now it says 327 steps on the watch, however the phone and online still says 311. I then took the watch off and walked about a bit with my phone in hand and the screen on and the steps increased to 399. Shortly after this appeared online and my watch updated to 415 steps. I then put the phone down and put the watch back on, walked about a bit and the steps increased on it to 450, however the phone and online still say 399.
So it appears to be just the steps (and calories) that aren't syncing from the watch to the phone, however its working from the phone to the watch.
hmm....

Just to let you know you're not the only one, I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I bought the SW3 to replace my FitBit charge HR, but still wanted my steps to sync to the fitbit app (my health insurance uses fitbit data for rewards but doesn't support Google Fit). Managed to find a third party solution, but the steps are always significantly lower than are recorded on the watch - so again, steps are not syncing from the watch to the google fit app/fitbit app, but ARE syncing the other way around :/
I un-paired my SW3 from my phone (HTC One M8 running the latest Lineage nightly) and the SW3 did a factory reset. On initial pairing and syncing I was left with the old Google Fit app on the watch - the one without the 'Fit Activity' option. I noticed however that the steps, distance and calorie information recorded on the SW3 sync'd with Google fit on my phone.
I went through the hoops trying to get the latest Android Wear Google Fit application loaded on the watch (v1.64.06-200) eventually having to sideload it via ADB. Its installed now however the steps, distance and calorie information are no longer sync'd so I guess this is a bug in either the wearable Fit .apk or the phone Fit .apk. Starting a Fit activity on the watch such as walking sync's OK so I am wondering whether this is a design feature?

i tried to test it but because imon android 9 DP2 i keep getting issues with android wear app
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
