1. Go into About found under Settings, click "Build number" 5 times to enable developer mode.
2. Now swipe back into Settings main menu and select Developer Options.
3. Enable Stay awake when charging.
Beware, this doesn't appear to be reversible. Turned it off, screen stays on when charging. Reset the watch, screen stays on. Makes charging much slower.
EDIT: Actually appears to be part of an update, will always stay dimly lit now.

Just found that out myself as well. It's tough when a device is so limited. Not much info out there yet
Wait, its supposed to go off when charging? The damn thing stayed on all night last night for me (first night with it). I thought it was a feature. I took it off several times and it stayed on, even when I pressed the power button. I'd really prefer it not stay on.
I enabled dev options and its not set to stay on. Weird. I'll check again tonight. When i first opened it and did the initial charge it did turn off but I thought maybe since the ambient light sensor saw it was night time it stayed on but goes off during the day. Weird.

I've noticed there's different modes of dim too. Sometimes it's very dim, and at other times it's somewhat dim. Really strange. I turned the watch off and put it on the charger. It automatically turned off, but stayed in a very dim mode compared to how it was when I just put it on the charger without turning it on. I am slightly worried about burn in rather than charging slower. Since I'll be charging overnight.
I wish there was a way to turn it off or at least turn down the brightness, I like my room completely dark.
May be a dumb question, but any concerned with screen burn-in from charging? Under normal use the screen isn't lit up long enough, but while charging the screen stays lit (dimmed, yes but still lit) and with a static blue ring around the edge. Just seems odd that some kind of daydream mode isn't employed.

The screen is LCD not OLED so burn in isn't an issue.
I had it on the charger for about 2 hours last night and can clearly see the ring and the "moto" and "100%" text, especially on the gray background of the settings menu.

That's my concern. I thought that LCD wasn't impervious just because it wasn't OLED and it is still susceptible to damage.
You can turn the screen off while charging if you just press the button (which is on top while charging).

Strange when I charged yesterday the screen did turn off. It is charging now and the button on top just dims.

I honestly can't figure this thing out, lol
It would appear that the last update keeps the screen on (although dim) while charging. Another change is that putting a turned off watch in the charger turns it on.
Well that solves my question. First charge was off, 2nd and current 3rd charge is staying dim. Thanks!
If you want it off when you charge, go into "Settings-->About" and tap on build number, repeatedly until it displays "You are now a developer". Then go back to "Settings-->Developer Options" and the first option is "Stay awake when charging". You can touch it to toggle between enabled and disabled.

just a heads up (for me anyway) - I wanted to have it ON when charging, so i did the dev mode option. Then i wanted to turn it off, and it seems disabling the option in dev options wont turn it off lol
early release wonkiness i assume

Once we get root we'll be able to change this option in the build.prop file:
Code:
ro.ambient.force_when_docked=true
To turn off the screen while charging:
1. Open the Android Wear app
2. Turn on "Always On" (if it's not already)
3. Wait for the screen on the watch to dim
4. Uncheck "Always On" in the Android App
The screen will turn off until it's taken off the charger, screen is tapped, or button is pushed.

This worked for the LG G Watch as well. But you have to substitute "always on" with "ambient screen" with the update to 4.4w1.

Whoops. Forgot about the verbage difference in the Moto360.
Found this on reddit, looks like it answers my question. Curious to see if they had the screen left fully lit while charging.

Tasker task I create to toggle the screen off automatically.
I've had it since Monday. Charging every night (~8 hours). Developer mode on, but no settings changed. No burn in. I think it's a defect.
Anybody else having issues when placing your palm over the screen to dim it? It should turn the screen off and vibrate. I think I only saw that happen once, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Can somebody try it and tell me if it works for you all the time, some of the time, or rarely to never?
Thanks.
I got it working if I turn off the ambient screen setting on the device. You can also use the button too.

Yup, I tried with both, ambient screen on and ambient screen off. No luck. Yeah, I guess I'll just have to use the button, seems faster anyway, or wait until it turns itself off. I guess I was just concerned my ambient light sensor might be defective, haven't had the chance to see if auto-brightness works correctly since it has been raining and cloudy outside and light indoors generally keeps it mid-brightness.

Did you go to the android wear app and turn off ambient screen? I assume so. Mine turns "off" when I either "palm" it or push the button. I left the ambient screen sensor on and it still turned off for me.
Make sure your palm is touching the screen. If you're just cupping your hand over the screen, it won't work. It's not a "oh, it just turned dark" thing, but more of a "oh, my entire surface is being touched at once" thing.

Thank you very much, that was it. It works now, operator error.
Can't find another question like this one... so here goes:
Just got a Moto 360 for 149.99 USD and its great so far.
Did that force update to 5.1.1, this one worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/moto360/comments/3ahj1l/a_surefire_way_to_force_the_511_update/
Now I look into turning off the screen when its charging, only to run into a very strange issue...
In the developer options, which you can enable using 10 taps on the build number in about, there are two options:
1) stay awake while charging
2) burn-in protection
Burn-in protection will NOT save the check when your restart, so in essence, is useless.
However I found that using stay awake while charging DOES indeed turn off the screen, but here's the catch: you have to set it to ENABLED.
Don't believe I have ever seen a setting on android that required it to be on, to be off...
But hey, it does work, on mine at least.
Also the whole "just hit the button to make the screen go off" ONLY works in Theater Mode! And I personally dont like pushing a button to check the time.
If Theater Mode is off, it will just brighten the screen for around 2 seconds, then dim again.
Here's my question, what does that burn-in protection do anyways? Just pixel shift over time? Why can't it be enabled?
Hope this helps some people!
that setting does nothing for me
the screen stays awake regardless of ENABLED or DISABLED
funny how motorola hasn't fixed this yet
just put watch in "Theater mode" before charging
and it would switch the screen off on charger too

It started on mine, in the dock. Every few minutes everything on the display jumps in size from small to large and vice visa
The staying awake feature is backwards. Crazy
Sent by entanglement.
I restarted mine after setting to enabled, also ambient / theater mode are both off.
Hi,
as ShadowVlican wrote: just enable the theater mode to switch the screen off during charging. It is also important, the you undo any changes you did in the developer menu ("stay awake while charging" and the "burn in protection" as well).

Yeah, no. My screen turns off for 10 seconds then just becomes dim black with backlight again.
Is there no damn working solution?!
Has anyone figured out how to turn the display off when charging after the upgrade to 6.01?
Worked fine in 5 but now in 6 I can't get the display off when charging.

Mine still works like it always has. Before I put it on the charger I turn the display on and double-press the side button. The watch shows "To turn screen back on press side button". After that I place the watch on the charger and it doesn't display anything while charging.
I'll have to try that, before I would put it on the charger, go into Android Wear, to setting Moto360 and do an Ambient mode on. The display get bright, then 5 sec later goes dim, then I would do Ambient off and it would turn off the screen.
Thanks, I'll give your way a try.
any way to unlock marshmallow bootloader?
thanks guys
This is exactly the thinness to not display illuminates during charging. There are several topic with this "problem."
Let the author to look at this topic, wherein one of the many with said case:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-problems-t3315078/post65526704#post65526704
And also short video in which it appears that if given a little time after double-pressing the power button BEFORE the clock is placed on the charger, then the display should not light up.

That worked, thanks!!! Much appriciated.
