Moto 360 Gen 1 missing apps

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

Android Wear Apps Not On Phone

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.

[Guide][Fix] Fix for no notifications and apps not syncing to device

So, with the recent update to Wear OS on my mobile phone I have found that I wasn't receiving notifications any more. I figured it was something to do with app referencing to the old Android wear instead of the newer Wear OS app on my phone. I reset my phone/watch and from that point it all went horribly wrong. I could no longer transfer apps to my watch (Strava, Keep, Spotify, etc) and notifications would not appear on my device.
THE FIX
1) Remove the Wear OS app from your phone and download Android Wear from UpToDown.com.
2) Download the most recently archived version (2.7.0.177669439) and install it (Enable Unknown sources in settings).
3) Open the Play Store app and go to "My Apps and Games" and find the "Wear OS" app update and open the app store page. Select the triple dot menu from the top right of the screen and uncheck "Enable auto-update".
4) Pair your phone and watch again, giving some time for all apps to sync and reinstall.
I've only just completed this myself and so far everything is starting to come back up on my watch like before. You may need to go into settings and tell the app to resync all apps to watch again, but hopefully this has fixed any issues people are having of late like I have been.
Happy trails!

Did you get constant FC messages?
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ1 using XDA Labs

I wasn't getting any notifications on my watch. So I tried wiping my watch and setting it up again and found it would never sync apps back to the watch. So I rolled back to using Android wear which immediately fixed the issue of the apps not syncing. A positive side effect of doing so allowed me to get notifications again.

I did that and now I have notifications but apps don't syncing. During parring it hangs on ninth app and goes to the main screen. Resync all apps don't work

Same problem here, fresh install and my watch is missing almost all installed apps : keep is present bu not working, google map is missing, ...

Thanks worked for me....not using lates release seem to fix the issue

Doesn´t work for me. Android Wear app FC on XZ1 Compact.

One possible solution when you can't add Google Account

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.

Question WearOS connection

Hello together,
I connect my watch with the new Pixel watch apk but cannot sync my wear apps installed on my phone. The connection to the wear os app dont work. Can I dont use them together? Or how to sync the apps like in the past with the new app?

If you are trying to sync a watch other than the Pixel Watch to the Watch App, you might want to hold off until further updates to the Watch app hit the wire.

I connect Pixel watch to the new apk. The old wear os can sync the apks automatic to the watch. From the new one I can only open the playstore and press the installation for the watch.
