Anyone have an LG G watch?

My watch is on the truck for delivery!

Here's hoping he sticks to his usual route & doesn't try to deliver it before 4!

Good thing I came home for lunch today. It came while I was eating. Just finishing installing the update now. Right in time to head back to work.

Great input over the past couple days PereDroid.
Good luck with your new toy Jonny! Let us know what you think about it after some use.

Loving it so far. Had a quick text convo with the fiance. Works well enough.

Will update after more time with it.

So, I'm browsing for watch faces on my phone and I see several that say you need at least Andoird 5. Since I got 2 updates and wasn't sure what version it started with anyway, I just checked.

And now I know what irony is. My watch has a higher android version than my phone...

Takes a little fine tuning, but I like the ability to mute apps from the watch.

I don't really notice anything change when I tap sunlight mode in the drop down. You?

 

[PereDroid]

Nothing. But I haven't seen the sun in 2 days so hoping to try it outside some time soon.

I find that I prefer the screen to always be on. We'll see after a full charge & a full day's use, but each time I make the decision to turn it off, I end up turning it back on later.

I was gonna wait to get on this train, but after a few hours, I feel like it was a solid investment. I mentioned in another thread, it's got just enough functionality & apps to please me, but this feels like the good old days of being the only one I knew with the G1. Can't wait to see how the ecosystem evolves.

have one running 5.01 . Liking it, just need to get around to finding a good replacement band.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Oh yeah. It updated when I first turned it on, then I got a notification of another update by the time I got back to work (got delivered while I was home for lunch, thank God). Some of the apps I was looking at advised of only using them if you had at least 5, so I checked & I'm on 5.0.1. Liking the improvements they made even though I didn't have much time with the first update. Lol. More settings in the mute pull down ftw!

Santa Tracker!
I have no TAKE SS OPTION"?!?!?!?!?

Wow.
So I really gave it a test yesterday. I had the face ALWAYS ON for about 8 hours yesterday. (I like it on, too). I took it off the charger yesterday at 8AM. I had quite the long day. Work>Home>Bar>Friends House> Back to bar...
I got home at 2:45AM. Battery was at 23%. This is at lowest brightness where I've had it set since I opened the box. I prefer lowest, not using it for battery savings.
I'm impressed. After reading some reviews of Android Wear 5.0.1, people said battery life took a hit. If this is a "hit" I'm happy.

Sunlight Mode: Not a toggle. All it does is jack up the brightness to the highest level for 5 seconds and then it reverts to what you have it set at.

The option is right in the settings of the wear app. I noticed it before PC posted the info. You may have to enabled developer options for it to work. I already did that, so that might be why?

Glad to know you had such a great day with it. Both my phone & watch are at about 91% battery, so as long as they last about the same, I'll be plenty pleased.
