Eureka I think I found a new favorite notes/schedule/to do list/ grocery list app.
A freebie on the Galaxy Gear store called My Notes In Gear.
It took me some time and frustration before finally accidentally figuring the darn thing out BUT now that I have I think I've found one that'll make a nice plan b until Color Note gets watch compatible.
I write a note, schedule, whatever on the phone and it shows up on the S. I set a reminder up and it shows up in the pull down bar of the phone and the watch. Unlike Color Notes that shows up immediately or at 1201 am for calendar events, they all must be set to a time. No biggie once I got the hang of that, just set the reminder for 1 minute ahead of the current time is what I did for a mock grocery list. I can edit the lists on the watch and it syncs back to the phone. It's not a standalone app, needs to be connected to the phone to sync which it does at opening on the phone each time. It can make new lists and notes on the watch but text entry is done by voice input only using Dragon (Nuance, the owner of Swype also makes Dragon). To change or add times and dates to new items on the watch it uses a calendar looking scroll bar with the usual am/pm, minute, hour, etc like Google calendar uses. I can set the notification tones and led color on the phone but haven't tried to change anything on the watch since I keep it set to vibrate only. The color of the note titles can be changed on the phone. There's a color wheel that you can choose from the entire spectrum instead of just a few pre chosen colors. They do not change colors on the watch, just a drab tannish gray.
Here's a few screen shots of various things I like about it.
Icon in pull down bar
Icon when pulled down
Item checked off on watch
Item checked off syncs back to phone
Notification on watch of new arrival
List on watch of all
Same list on phone
Choices to search all content, create, etc on watch
