Ok. I've had my watch since release and like it for the most part.
But who in the hell at Google decided, you can have notifications, but not use the time. Or use the watch to tell time, by turning notifications off (basically making wearing it pointless.)
Why doesn't Google allow notifications to pop up when received, but then you can Swipe them down to hide them (like in muted mode).
There are some notifications I want to keep, but then your freaking watch is useless to tell time with. (unless you turn off all future notifications)
I was really thinking about buying a moto 360 when it was released too. But knowing now my only 2 options are to turn off the smart part of the watch. Or not be able to tell time after 3pm. Makes it pointless.
You could use a digital watch?

I'm pretty sure that you can do this as soon as the watch api is released. Right now there simply is no way to do this.

Which kind of defeats the purpose of having a watch you can customize.
I'm sure the people buying a moto 360 will be thrilled to learn they bought an analog style watch to only be able to show digital time on it.

I hope your correct and Google didn't give LG or Samsung the api yet either since default faces are the same. I wouldn't be as concerned if it was only user made faces that couldn't hide it.

Why not just set it so notifications are hidden in dimmed mode? So when you glance at the watch you can see the entire watch face. If you need to see the previous notifications, just activate the display and swipe up.
My notifications on my LG G are semi-transparent so I can see a full-screen analog watch-face even in non-dimmed mode. Although I always use a digital watchface which shows in top left corner, for quicker glancing... Is this problem specific to Samsung or is there something I'm missing?

On Gear Live the notifications are NOT semi-transparent, so this may actually be a samsung specific problem... Hopefully an update can "fix" this.

That's still a work around over what should be a setting. Just think it would be common sense to Swipe down to hide notifications on active screen until you Swipe up to see them.

I'm using a g watch. And maybe mine is flaky. But I can not see though the notifications on active screen. . I can use a digital clock and get around it. Just like analog a lot better.
Is there any way to monitor the battery level of the watch from the phone? I'm thinking like a notification icon or a home screen widget. This is possible yet?

It is definitely possible. I use this watch face that has it implemented and it works just fine.
Maybe download a power management app will help you
go to the setting and click bettery and see show percentge bettery and click check
Did you read the OP?
Turn on the phone, see that the watch is at 40% capacity. I do not know but I never seen this done.
Yes from the watch you can check the phone capacity but that is not what the OP asked.
I am planning to buy A7 2017 Soon and have question regarding its Always-On display.
Does AOD, only supports notifications from Samsung Apps only ??
Apart from that,
Does it have option to change clock face to any colour ?
How many clock faces is provided (I believe its only 2) ?
Also, any way to have variety of clock faces just like in S7 ? - Can it be ported ?

I been to Samsung stores here and few of the staff says - Samsung have updated their AOD and can now display third-party apps, but they cant say for sure.
Any actual user can confirm please.
I have a LEMFO LF16 and was wondering if there is a way to disable the lock screen which shows the time when you raise your arm.
I want the watch to show me the main clock face immediately when I raise my wrist to see the time and not have to tap on it to see the main clock face.
Kind of pointless to have beautiful clock faces and only seeing it occasionally when you actually want to enter the watch instead of looking at the clock face for the time.
Has anyone run across a mod or 3rd party app/work around that will allow you to change the theme (not just signature and clock position) on the always on display?
While I think the minimalistic approach is rather attractive in its own right and does conserve a bit more battery life, I definitely want to add some life to my display.
let us know what you're currently using and how well it's been working.

I'm looking for a way to customise stock AoD as well.
Afaik there are some decent alternatives to AoD on the Play Store like AcDisplay which are more customisable than the stock LG AoD. I used AcDisplay on my G4 and it worked well. You may lose some SoT since they are not fully optimized for every device.
Hello friends. I would like to know if you can give me the (AOD / Allways-On) apk of the LG G6 because I would like to install it in LG Q6 alpha. I would appreciate it for the help! Greetings from Honduras! [email protected]
