I'm thinking of switching from Pebble to Android Wear. I'm curious, do notifications from your phone come through consistently and quickly? On Pebble (at least with Android) about 25% of the time a notification takes 2-5 seconds to show up on the watch, or never shows up at all. I'll feel my phone buzz and sit there staring at my watch, waiting. It gets really annoying! Happened with both my S3 and Nexus 5.
Has anyone experienced similar with Android Wear watches? Or particular models? Thanks!

no missed notifications at all .
Awesome. I think I'll be ordering Black Friday or cyber Monday. Now, to decide which one.
No missed notifications at all. Working great!
After 2 weeks with my LG G Watch R, I'm afraid that after 18 months with my Pebble I've grown accustomed to doing things in a certain way and that's not the right way for Android Wear.
Could anybody enlighten me?
My watch almost never vibrates. Mails, Whatsapp messages... it doesn't matter, most notifications show as cards (which I notice after a too long time) but I don't get vibrations.
My phone is a Sony Xperia Z3 with 4.4.4 (5.0.1 on the watch). When I used my Pebble it was always muted and most apps had notifications off. Now Whatsapp and Gmail have notifications on, since I read somewhere that Android Wear devices would only vibrate if the app was supposed to make some noise. However, I still don't get vibrations.
Thanks in advance

As far as i got with this (still no Facebook notifications here) this has to do with the sound options, very logical (not) on your phone..
If you have notifications set to just vibrate with no sound on your phone there will be no vibration on your wrist, someone needs to visit that google programmer with a clue bat i think :-/
If you want your watch to be the one to get the notifications and no sound on your phone, set up all apps on your phone to use sounds, and set in Android wear app, silence the phone. This will quit your phone from responding with sounds (an i think also vibrations) while your watch should do the heavy lifting.
Why they did it this way, Google only knows, we desperately need a alternative Android wear build with a much better control of vibrations and how each type of notifications should act!

That's not true. I have set my Google+ notifications to no sound but enabled vibrations. The system wide notification strength on my note 3 is set to 0. In this way only my lg g watch r is vibrating on incoming notifications....

Well. No notifications at all after updating my phone to lollipop 5.1. In Android Wear, the option to turn on notification is greyed out. Upon application startup, I get a message saying: "Android Wear needs you to turn on notifications" but I cannot turn them on. A full hard reset of both, watch and phone, did not help. Downgrade of Android Wear APP to different old versions did not help. My watch is useless now and my Ascend Mate 7 MT10 with Lollipop 5.1 is not downgradable to kitkat any more without unlocking the boot loader which I do not want to do. So, If I would have a Pebble, I think I would stick to it until Lollipop issues are resolved at least you want to keep you devices on KitKat and renounce to update to lollipop.
These are my two cents from a frustrating experience.
just install informer
All problem SoLved
just install "informer for android wear - notification"
Hello all,
I have a LG S Watch R and a Note 4 in use. But after updating my Note to Lollipop it is not possible to make phone calls via 'ok google' call command (on the watch) any longer. The watch displays the call circle but ends up with 'try it on your phone' or so. Same thing with the wear app 'mini dialer'. It works like a charm on Kitkat but refuses to make phone calls on Lollipop. On the phone the voice command still works like expected. I've also tested this function on a Nexus 5 (Lollipop) together with the same watch and it worked. So the watch can't causing this. Other wear apps and functions are working as before.
Does anybody has encountered the same problem?
Greetings
Resurrecting this one. Finally noticed the same thing was happening to me. Did you ever find a solution?
Hi guys, I have some problems with "mute phone alerts and calls" of Android Wear app. I have a LG G Watch R and with Moto X play the function above doesn't work anymore. Also enabled, I have sounds notification on my phone. Anyone have the same issue?
I have found another user with the same problem in Android Wear Forum on XDA (he has got a Nexus 5), but I believe in my case it's different because it should be correlated to Moto Display feature: indeed disabling it, I mean using Ambient display o nothing, the function works very well.
I tried everything, uninstall google play service, putting old copy of Android wear app, factory reset on my watch....The only thing I've not yet done is factory reset on my phone....
Hi All,
Wanted to see if anyone has the same problems with the Moto X Pure when connected to Android Wear watches. I'm finding:
1. Proximity sensor does not work when on a phone call
2. Moto Voice will initiate but will quickly close
It has happened on both my ZenWatch 2 and Huawei Watch while connected. Turning off bluetooth will resolve both issues. Is anyone else seeing this and found a work around?
Thanks!

Do a factory reset in settings and check if music and ringtone is working when select a new ringtone in sound settings, then try to receive a call again. If it still persists he should return the device within warranty to get a new one if it's possible there?
Don't mess around with rooting when it's a problem on a brand new device, instead use warranty.
