I've been trying to get more into using the gestures. Previously, I turned off Tilt to Wake on my Urbane. Since I got my 6P back, I've left it on. That's been very handy while bundled up this Winter and wanting to start some music without digging for my phone and without having to uncover the watch and tap it to wake the screen.

I get the feeling that the gestures would be just as handy if I'd actually take the time to use them. Assuming I can work out how to use them without looking too strange. If nothing else, the shake to return to the face is nice.

I just got notified of crap. I'm about to chuck this thing. System is up to date. I've been checking a few times a day.

I guess that would depend on the sensitivity of the sensors and accuracy of the software. My shirt will inadvertently cause actions on my phone, even though sensitivity isn't set too high, sometimes whereas it takes an act of congress to get any response on my hand computer I use for work. About the only gesture I could ever see working with my work Sapphire would be if I want throwing it at a wall to cause the battery to pop out when it hits the wall as a power down method. I put a screen protector on my S because of over sensitivity to touch gestures. I see the Moto stuff being about the sweet spot for accuracy when it's nekkid.

I may be the last member here with an original G Watch....so far AW 6.0 is running butter smooth on my watch. Didn't have to do a FDR either....I think that's a first for me. Good job Google!

Yeah. I haven't noticed any issues that would prompt me to reset mine since it installed the update without telling me. That's a nice surprise.

Definitely! I've had it download before without prompting, but prompted for the install. As long as it's running smooth I guess all is good.

I'm still waiting lol

If you have a Moto 360 1st Gen there were some rumors that the update halted because of bricked watches. I can't confirm that though, just a rumor. I do know that there are a few posts on the Moto Forum that 1st Gen watches are stuck on the bootup screen. Hopefully we all have it soon...and no bricked watches.

Yes, I can use the money for other stuff

The 360 sport looked promising but the reviews are telling a different story.
