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 a way to see the full watchface without notifications in either ambient mode or on the regular clock home screen without deleting all of the running notifications? This notification bar renders every analog clock completely unusable.
Thanks!

From what I read, not until Google releases the new api. There is nothing the developers can do.
I hate hate HATE all those ****ty LG watch faces..the blue pastel ones in particular that seem to go on and on.
when installing new faces it takes forever to swipe to them. is there any way to get these hideous faces off the watch? Maybe a custom ROM? deleting some settings in an xml file somewhere?
After I upgraded from an original Galaxy Gear to a LG G Watch R, I can say that some things on the Gear were just much easier. The biggest thing I miss is the simple ability to snooze a calendar notification. Chatting online with Google, there is just no way to do it. This was easy on the gear, just slide the slider. With Wear, I need to pull my phone out. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Hi All,
I need a confirmation:
I am using a Fossil Q Founder 2.0 with latest wear 2.0 and the chronus watchface.
So, when I have 2 or more unread notifications, the number of the unread notifications appears on the 12 o'clock position.
But only, when there are 2 or more. 1 unread notification is not shown at all. But when I use a "unread notification complementation" on one of the 4 choosable positions, the 1 unread notification is shown. So the counter itself works.
As I have only Fossil Faces pre-installed beside the chronus face and the fossil faces do not show the notification on the 12 o'clock position at all, I thought this is a chronus thing. But the Chronus Dev told me, it is a Wear thing. So I now need confirmation if you are also just get the notification on 2 or more unread messages and if yes, can anybody tell me how to send a bug report to android wear?
If needable, I can upload pics to this.
Regards,
Amo

I don't have any answers, but I use the Pujie Black watch face on my LG Urbane 2nd Edition and there is a setting under 'settings>peek cards & status bar' to "show unread counter" and my watch does the same thing. I only see the count when it's 2 or more.

So when you also just see it, when it is 2 or more, we are already 2 guys who can confirm this. In my view it is a bug.
