So awesome to hear that rhe bartery got much better after the update. Can't wait to receive mine soon.
By the way, would any 22mm leather band work with the 360?
Yep. Any 22mm band should work.

Picked up a new G Watch for $130 shipped. I really want to mess around with it but after five minutes there was nothing to do. What apps make the platform fun/useful?

Its a smart watch it's not supposed to be fun.
Is a tech gadget, of course it's supposed to be fun! Stuff like the calculator is what I'm asking about, something I can use in a pinch.
So far, Wear has been buggy too, I hope we get an update soon. I'm liking the watch and I can see a lot of potential. I mean, I knew I was getting in early, that's why I didn't pay much.
Yes, but the included leather band works great.
Some impressions on the LG G Watch and Android Wear:
-Battery life is a non-issue as long as you place the watch on a cradle every night. I wake up early and go to sleep late and I haven't even come close to running out of juice and I check the watch constantly.
-The navigation needs work. There simply needs to be a way to keep cards that you want without it taking the lower 5th of the watch face. I'd like to be able to scroll past notifications without having to swipe them away, without them taking up all that space on my watch face at the bottom. Also, there needs to ALWAYS be an action when you swipe up. A carousel is more intuitive. So, if there are no cards, you swipe down for settings, apps, etc. Finally, the swipe down needs to be a quick settings card.
-Where are the damn apps? Is there simply not enough tools in the SDK for devs to play with? Or is there just no interest in the platform?
-Google should've had a big update ready for the Apple event or the day after. Everyone knew Apple was going to announce a smartwatch, why let them take up all the media for the next weeks regarding smartwatches? An update would've at least put Android Wear in the conversation. Right now, it's nonexistent. The Apple watch announcement definitely stirred up interest. I've had people ask me about my watch every day, I wish I had more stuff to demo, and that it was easier to demo stuff (goes back to the navigation point above)
Overall, I'm keeping the watch (I only paid $130, that's a bargain for the use I've gotten and will get out of this little gadget). I like it, I like the platform, and it has broken my compulsion to pick up my phone every 5 minutes. Also, since I can never get sound profiles right on Android,I used to miss a ton of calls/texts. But having the watch means I've missed no calls or texts, especially critical work-related ones.
Thanks for the writeup.
There are a couple apps linked in thread. Which ones have you tried?
Talon just got updated today with the ability to view your feed from any Android Wear watch, looking forward to trying that out whenever the Moto360 is available here in the UK. Currently no idea when this thing is arriving, misinformation everywhere...
Should be arriving soon, it just came out in France
I can't use my moto 360 any more.
The majority of the reviews for the wear app say the same thing.
It was fine until the new update. Does any one know where I can get a previous version of the app?
Try and see if APK mirror has it

Sorry for the G+ link
So I just realized that if you change phones, the only way to re-pair your watch is to factory reset it. The fuck? This is either a huge oversight or Google just doesn't care. Pebble does this so much better.
So the Android Lollipop, Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 announcement has arrived with...no mention of Android Wear 2.0
So now what happens with the LG G Watch R hitting South Korea today with a barometer inside it that I don't believe is supported by Wear currently?
So current rumor is that AW2.0 is scheduled for November 3rd which would basically have it dropping with Android L.

My 360 with Pebble Steel's black leather band, looks freakin' awesome.
I've had the watch for about 2 weeks now and pretty happy with the watch so far. Battery life has been better than expected - yeah you gotta charge it daily but I never really worry about the battery life as long as you don't fiddle with it all the time.
How did you get the bands out?
- Once you activate voice search, there's no simple way to dismiss (like with a swipe). Given that touching the watch face brings it up, this happens a lot. I have to turn off the display and on again to get back to the watch face.
Looks like an Android Wear update is rolling out

Anyone get it yet? Doesnt look like it was pushed to me yet.
The latest update to wear and fit messed up the step counting and now the watch is useless for keeping track of my activity. What can I do?
If you have a 360, I recommend Pujie Black - Wear Watch Face. Probably the slickest watchface out there, imo.

It's all about the animation and customizability!
