I am getting a moto 360. I work in a restaurant were I am constantly moving my arms and rotating my wrists.
I am wondering i there is a way to disable the wrist motion wake.
Unfortunately my google fu is lacking and everything I could find was just saying that it has the feature to turn on when wrist is moved.
Also, I am looking for a multi-company package tracking app in which the notifications will show up on android wear. Mostly USPS.

The right apps at the right time
No more fumbling through screens of apps to find the one you’re looking for. Cover learns when and where you use different apps and puts them on your lockscreen for easy access.
What is Cover?
Cover is the fastest way to get to the right apps at the right time. It’s a free app for Android that replaces the lockscreen of your phone, adding shortcuts to your favorite apps.
What does Cover do?
Cover recognizes the places you go: home, work, car, and out. It learns which apps you use where, and puts the right ones on your lockscreen for quick access in each context. It also pays attention to which apps you use during certain hours of the day and days of the week.
Cover lets you quickly peek at apps and jump between them. With Cover’s smart settings, you can specify ringer volumes for each context too. See our demo video for more info.

Just started using this app, thought I'd share.
Missing these important features
1) Camera launch almost always fails ( on my nexus 5 with face recognition lock setup)
2) Does not bubble up apps with notifications to top
3) Does not show next meeting, battery percent and other simple info most other lock screens show ( samsung , htc ..)
4) tap on a app with notifications ( say hangout) can show the notification message ( cover already has access to notification content). swipe will still open the app
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 an app similar to "notification center" on pebble, where I can force the watch to vibrate when I get a notification from certain applications?
For some reason I just can't get certain apps to vibrate (and I just see the notification, which is no good because I just miss it).
I don't know if those apps are poorly written or set wrong or what.
Other apps vibrate - so it's not a general problem. I shouldn't have to be screwing around with so many settings like this.
I'm fairly happy with my Moto 360, but missing important notifications is a dealbreaker, and I might be forced to go back to my Pebble.
Anyone know of an app that can do this? I don't mind paying for one.

Found one that worked: Augmented SmartWatch Pro.
It seems that wechat doesn't send a "vibrate notification" so it breaks android wear.
Instead it just does a normal app vibration.
Augmented works similar to "Pebble notifier" where it sends a vibrate notification to Android wear.
Hey everyone! It looks like the stock Samsung messaging app (for sms/mms) is a little weird when paired with an Android Wear watch. When you swipe to look at the list of recent messages, the most recent message is buried at the bottom, instead of being at the top (quite annoying). I switched over to Messenger by Google to fix this, but just realized that I've lost the edge light up functionality when people listen on the People edge call or text me. Is there any way to have the messages not come across Android Wear backwards, and keep the People edge functionality?
Coming from a moto x pure. Had moto display set up to light the screen when the device was picked up. Also, any notifications would appear here and a swipe up would open right into the respective app.
With the a7 we get a notification light and fingerprint reader. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to efficiently open notifications without a number of taps. Device is rooted with xposed installed.
So far the best I could come up with was to remap the finger print reader to open the notification bar. This means one tap to unlock, and 1/2 sec or later a second tap to open the notifications. Quickly double tapping doesn't seem to work.
Is there a more elegant solution?
Not sure how well it works with the FP sensor, but AcDisplay is a great alternative.

Thanks. Looking for something more recent. That app hasn't been updated in over a year (11/2015).
How are others dealing with notifications on this phone?
Works great on lineage.
I'm not ready to switch to lineage yet. Also, lack of xposed will mean other solutions to modules like gravity box will have to be found.
It's ironic, when I first got the moto x, I was annoyed at the moto display. After some tweaking, I got it to where the screen only lights up when the device is picked up. Notifications can be somewhat manipulated from this state.
It looks like I'll have to relearn notification usage on the a7.
I use KinScreen to automatically turn on the screen when I open the flip case (uses proximity sensor).
Best thing ever.
