A ride in wet weather causes a factory reset! - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been getting a little frustrated with my wear watch (LG G Watch R) this morning the weather was bad (typical English weather) and the watch decided to reset to factory defaults wiping everything of the watch.
If 5.1.x doesn't have any fixes for this I'm probably going to sell the watch as its a show stopper for me.
I have used Showear which is good but this is something that should be "built-in"

Optimus 7 and I am late for work...

Happen already twice - recently I reorganized my bedside tale with digital alarm clock. (cant post link but it is very expensive and reliable German device - Trotec BZ05)
And it reset twice during night causing me problem to get to my work on time . I checked battery, i checked clock and recently I realized that it may be my LG.
So I organized camera and filmed it for few hours - seems like it really is caused by my mobile! Clock reset sometimes after hour, sometimes after 2 but it never reset while far from it.

No.1 g5 smartwatch

HI,GUYS.
Nowadays, Smartwatches are getting much popular than smartphones as they are offering much more than people expected. And as usual, Chinese manufacturers are the top players in that matter. One of them is No.1, a popular smartwatch manufacturing company. They have recently announced their No1 G5 smartwatch.
The main features as follow:
-CNC CRAFTS
-316L STAINLESS STEEL
-WIRE DRAWING CASE
-TPU PASTIC MATERIAL
-SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
-HEART RATE MONITORING
-GYROSCOPE ACCELERATION SENSOR CONFIGURATION
-BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
-AUTOMATIC LIGHT UP
INTELLIGENT POWER-SAVING
-REMOTE CAMERA
-PEDOMETER
-SLEEP MONITORING
-REMINDER SEDENTARY
I have this watch. Heart rate on this watch is fake. Just randomly shown the figure between 84 to 74bpm even though you are on running.... ( I check with my other heart rate). After 10 day of using the battery only last for 4 hours despite of I turn off Bluetooth and not connected to my phone.
Hello, I have also purchased this watch and it was performing very well. However after installing a .vxp file, the watch seems to be bricked. There is only black screen without getting access to Settings or other menu.
Does anyone know how to Factory Reset or Enter Safe Mode for this watch model. I have contacted No.1 phones facebook page, however did not get any response yet.

If you can do nothing on it,try a wired flash.

Sorry, I do have a G5, but I don't know how to make a ROM. You may post in the correct thread other users may help you.

Polar M600 no GPS anymore

Hi,
I really have bad luck with my Polar M600. I bought the watch as soon as it was available. Well, first one was defective out of the box (random crashes, hangs). Got a replacement. Second one - not water resistant, defective case. Died as soon as I used it for swimming metrics. Now, third one (already got the update to Wear 2.0) will not get a GPS signal anymore. Tried everything I could think of, factory reset etc, checked settings and permissions - the watch will never get a GPS signal. Any ideas on what to try out before I return it a third time?
Go into your phone app sport profiles ans activate the gps there
I wouldn't return it. I got one that had great gps for months, and now I have the same issue you're experiencing. I'm extremely sure that the issue is due to the latest wear update. I'll post if I hear any news or find a workaround.
I do have to vent some frustration if there's a polar/google employee reading this. I HATE THIS STUPID INTERNET CONNECTED CONTSTANT UPDATING. I'm a serious runner and bought the watch not knowing it had android wear, I don't mind the features but ensuring that the watch can perform it's basic purpose as a sports tracker should be the highest priority.
Same here... My m600 was working nicely with Android wear 1.x... And then Android wear 2.0 was released and the now the gps rarely works!! They could have tested the update before rolling it out!!

Multiple Wear watches with one phone problems!

Hello everyone.
Is there anyone here with multiple Wear watches (preferably with different Wear versions) paired to a single phone?
I am wondering it it is just me, or anyone else too, that have such problems with watches.
I suspect that since the Wear app v. 2.0 started rolling out, having multiple watches (with different OSs) paired to my phone just started an armageddon.
Before official 2.0, I had devprev on huawei and 1.5 on zw3 and Gwatch. I had ZERO issues, ever. Then, Wear app v. 2.0 update came and it slowly began:
Wear app is going haywire almost every week. I shot few videos, hopefully I will be able to throw them on youtube tonight to showcase what is happening. But basically: I choose a watch and connect it in wear app. App shows connected. I leave for work. At work I notice I dont get notifications. I check the app, and it shows one of few possible screens: trying to connect.. or "Have a watch? set it up" (that is the most hilarious for me ) Or shows a page that would normally show your chosen watch, but it is blank. Everytime I close and open Wear app, it can show something different. It can also be showing "Connected" for a long time, but nothing works. You cant see battery stats, change watchface, nothing...
The last time, I even lost all my paired watches in BT settings. Wear app says "reconnect", ok, it reconnects, but actually isnt connected. Well, I am not sure about that to be honest.. Smart lock works Sometimes, watch says connected too (in Settings-About) The most faulty watches are those with 2.0. But it happened to 1.4 and 1.5 too.
As of right now, only zenwatch3 on 1.5 is working, but, I did a FR yesterday because it wasnt working
I am really f**king fed up with resetting every god damn watch every god damn week so that it can work for a week and then god damn break again!
I am so glad I still keep my Sony SW2 as a backup, this watch works just AWESOME! Wear watches are still nowhere near the ease of usability and reliability of SW2.
EDIT: I uploaded videos of said behaving:
NOone with issues with multiple watches??
Yes, only 1.5 watches still, but I get best results with only one watch powered on at a time, and only one manually chosen to be connected via BT in the phone app. Otherwise, there are frequent connect/disconnect notifications, mysterious quick battery drain, and often conflict between what the phone app says is connected, and what the icons on the watch say about the connection. I occasionally get the "set up your watch" on the phone app as well. I just back out of it, and it's ok.

Thanks, the symptoms are the same. But it is happening to me even when I have only one watch powered on and only one watch connected to phone. But, 7 watches total are paired. I am starting to think if it is something with BT 4.0 hardware limitations.

Android Wear or Full Android?

Ok so I'm looking to get a new watch and decided to give a smart watch a try. I had a Chinese U8 watch from years ago that I hated but things have moved on from that horrible thing.
I have been looking and I'm not sure whether to go for something with AW 2.0 (possibly the Hauwei) or whether to go for a Chinese full android watch (possibly the D5+).
I'm steering clear of anything Chinese running their own software as they are all pretty generic and all pretty crap.
I'm not looking for anything too amazing and won't be using it for calls. I won't be putting a sim/SD card into the watch so tethering of some kind is a must.
Will mostly be used for:
Time, duh.. (so the turning wrist wake up would be good)
Notifications (mostly reading, on the odd chance I do want to reply using the watch a voice command would be good but not essential)
Some slight messing around when I'm bored.
I have ruined my brain with articles/YouTube videos but it seems to be hard to find a definitive answer to this.
i own a lg urbane 2 and a lemfo lem5.
espacially if you need no calls, take wear. don;t know about huawei, but battery life of the lg and the lemfo are worlds from each other.
i use the watch for calls, email, almost everything. the lemfo will not go through the day.
wear on the other hand, is another world and much harder to use (when using standalone, can't judge whiel i not use it as a companion device)
