I turned off notifications when I'm not wearing the watch but it still showing incoming phone calls. I remember that was working good few months ago but now it is irritating especially on weekends morning. Is it a bug or what?
Is it possible that no one has similar problems or dont care about it?
It's possible no one has the problem or get many calls, etc...
But, maybe try turning battery saver on or turning bluetooth off when charging...

i've this strange problem:
sometimes (about 50%) i receive delayed notifications on my phone. they are delayed from 5 to 15 minutes maximun. this notifications problem is only for facebook and whazzup, not for mails. if the screen is off and the note is in deep sleep since about 40 minutes/1 hour or more i got this problem.
i red a lot of articles about deep sleep, fast dormancy, tryed a lot of different configurations, tryed different carriers, mod roms, tested with BBS, etc etc but actually i cannot solve it. it's not a connection problem 'cause i receive the mails push. i also called the samsung customers service and they told me it's a timer inside the phone that after "some time" turn on this strange dormancy state to prevent battery drain. i don't think so because the problem happens only sometimes and not for mails so the connection is on. i had an SIII before the note and i had no problems. is it due to JB? on the S3 i had ICS, or it's really due to this "timer? or is my phablet defected?
tnx
So I will be getting a pebble sometime in the near future. I have a interesting idea to see if it would save on the battery life. Rather then keeping my phone always connected through Bluetooth (which I just learned our phone has Bluetooth 4.0 but no drivers for it, so my short battery life will get shorter), I was wondering if I could have tasker every time I get a notification for email, texts, whatever I want:
1. Connect to a Bluetooth device when I receive a notification (for instance Pebble, I know I can do the first part but in case anyone is reading this to find exact steps).
2. Push that notification to pebble if it does not show up since Bluetooth might take a bit to connect.
3. Disconnect from Bluetooth device.
Extra: The ability to turn Bluetooth on and off (if it will save more battery life).
This also has to be done relatively quickly, it would be pointless if this takes 20-30 sec imo, should take no more then 5 sec, but more around 3 if possible. So what do we think my friends, can it be done? I just started using Tasker, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking about getting a Pebble as well and had the exact same idea!
I can't think of anything to get the actual notification, but having Tasker just "recreate" it, once Bluetooth connection is established, should do the job as well I guess?!
This isn't any help to your actual question, just wanted to mention a comment I saw somewhere from an app developer about smartwatch apps and battery life. Which was that most people report getting better battery life because your phones screen is what uses the most battery, and with a smartwatch most people end up not turning on the screen every time a notification comes in.
I have been using the 360 for about a week now. On the first day, the battery life lasted about 10-12 hours after heavy use. After installing the new system update, I noticed that my watch started lasting the whole day from 8am to 11pm. I have been using it to reply to SMS messages, voice commands, navigation and music. There are a few things that I noticed this past week that is kind of annoying but bearable.
1. Unable to reply to SMS when using the default SMS app on the phone. In order to reply to SMS on my 360, I need to set hangouts as my default SMS app.
2. Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and reconnecting causing the notification cards to reappear after previously dismissing them.
3. Sometimes the gyro sensor doesn't work when I lift up my arm to look at my watch, so I need to push the button or tap on the screen. Only way to fix this is by restarting the watch.
4. Sending a new sms message via 360 to someone with foreign name is terrible.
Those are the main things I have noticed the past week. Other than these issues, I have been happy with my watch. What are some things you guys noticed?
I got mine in the morning, and I must say that this thing is an absolute beauty..I got compliments for the watch from 2 strangers, both could not believe that it was a smart watch and not a designer watch.
Functionality wise its the same thing as my g watch, no surprises there
I have a Moto 360 watch and it's driving me crazy that the Note 4 shuts off the bluetooth frequently during the day. I'm not getting the notifications on my watch because the bluetooth is off. Once I turn it on it works fine and I'm getting messages. But after a period of time the bluetooth will shut off.
I guess I could create a Tasker script that periodically turns bluetooth back on but that's just putting a bandaid on it.

Im using the Moto360 and a retail Note 4 and havent had this issue since getting my Note 4. I use both EVERYDAY and cant say that I have noticed this. Is your moto360 running the latest FW 4.4w.2?
There were lots of comments (and still are) about how wifi is a battery killer on android wear. I'm not seeing this to be the case at all, when it's working like it's supposed to.
Since 5.1.1 my battery use has been around 3% and hour with all features on. Turning off bluetooth on my phone, with a 2/3 wifi signal on the watch, I'm seeing 2.5 to 3%.
Quick drain happens when walking around the edge of bluetooth range, as the watch switches back and forth between bluetooth and wifi. It seems that as long as it's not finding bluetooth, battery use is normal at worst for me.
I know that the moto 360 will switch to a state of only checking for updates occasionally to save battery, but I don't see this happening. Notifications are coming to the phone, and shortly afterward on the watch. I have not seen a time when a notification was delayed more than a few seconds.
The downside to wifi-only use: some apps that communicate with a phone app don't work. My watchmaker face doesn't update the phone battery level. Google voice commands fail too often, maybe half of the time.
I think google should change the frequency of attempting to reestablish bluetooth connection while on wifi.
Has anyone else tried this? Either turn off your phone's bluetooth, or make sure it is well out of range.
I'll give it a go tomorrow at the office and report back.

Thanks to a heads up by DarkRazorZ, I learned wifi can be turned on in airplane mode. Will be looking to see if this makes any more difference.
Watch maker has been my biggest battery drain. It also makes the drop down menu laggy and impossible to use.
Yeah, I had that problem with watchmaker. I use intelligent and it seems to work well. Other people report facet works too.
I concur. Wi-Fi uses a lot less battery than Bluetooth, with an acceptable lag - 1-2 seconds on notifications. Bluetooth seems like a big battery drain on the phone and on the watch.
