Is there any way to stop "OK Google" showing up on the watch face? I don't use the "Speak" function and would really like to have a clean watch face.
Cheers.

Don't know how I missed that. I tried doing what it said but it reappears when I bring the watch out of dimmed mode.
Many thanks.
Managed to get rid of it by saying "OK Google" a few times. I guess it hangs around initially as a reminder just until you get used to it.

Does everyone get the "Ok Google" toast every time they wake their watch up? Mine never used to do it until a few hours ago.

mine shows it as well, i don't remember it ever not being there though, but maybe because i've been using the x firmware since i got the watch?

Mine has stopped doing it. First, it didn't do it. Then I had to do a reset and after repairing I did get the toast. Now it's stopped doing again!
Who knows?
Mine did it when I first got the watch, but now it's stopped showing the toast.
OK Google still works, just no toast as a reminder.
I think it shows the toast to explain how to use it, but only for a while before assuming that you know it by then

Google must think we are idiots. They force us to look at that stupid "Ok Google" banner every time the watch enters bright mode - as if we somehow forgot the magic words since the last 300 times we said them.
Is there a hack to turn this off? Thanks in advance.
Ok, just figured this out i think.
You can permanently disable the "Ok Google" banner by clicking the fob, saying "Ok Google", then clicking it again to dim. Repeat this 5 times and the "Ok Google" banner should permanently disable. I guess Google figures we have it figured out by then.

Change your watchface, and it appears again There is no way to get permanently rid of this blight!

Not correct. If you follow my method the banner will never come back. Changing watchfaces has no effect, at least under 5.01.

Thanks! Indeed it stays away now, lets hope i do not need another system reset any time soon
I was thinking after you "kill" it it stays gone till reboot.

Confirmed with 5.0.1 - the banner does not come back after a reboot or after changing faces.

If clicking it doesn't work just use the OK Google command for some random searches about 5-6 times and it will definitely not appear anymore after you've done so. Had the same issue initially but found it disappeared after a few uses.
I have had it reappear twice now (went away after one 'ok google') while i have followed the instructions, not a clue why it did, the last time it just was there when i pulled the watch from the charging cradle..
There are some external watchface apps where you can take it out if you're into those at all.
It is a cue for saying OK Google...
Do random searches 5 times by saying OK Google..(OK Google.. What's the weather..) Let it finish searching each time.. It will be gone... It will reappear if you reset your watch or after a new update... Do some Search 5 times again

Yeah, did that, following the method described somewhere on the first page of this thread, i was assured it would be gone, over and done with, and would not even reappear after a reboot, but it does, kinda random, and always gone for a few days when i 'Ok Google' once.
But it should not happen as i have done the 5 times and such!

I've had it also reappear (and disappear on it's own) a few times the last 2 weeks. No idea what the trigger is it was gone after the last update for at least 3 weeks before it came back.
Once every few days I get this notification from Google asking me to say "OK Google" three times to train the device. I always say it, although the recognition of me saying "OK Google" has actually gotten worse and worse. Before Google started asking me this it nearly always worked. Now it works only about 10% of the time I say "OK Google". Now having to say "OK Google" into my phone over and over again in front of others is embarassing. What is going on?
I have the same issue. The only way I was able to fix it was by reverting to the stock Google App (uninstall updates for this app through App Manager) and retraining my voice. Now it's back to normal. To note, the current Google App beta also didn't help things. Same problem.

Can you post a screenshot? I am curious what is this
No because it only appears when it wants to. Also, I resolved the issue. I went into Google settings and deleted all the voice data they had about me. Then I noticed the voice recognition of "OK Google" works much better once again.
Ever since upgrade to AW 2.0, "OK Google" doesn't work 90% of the time. Today, I figured out why. Here's the experiment:
1) Make sure the watch and the phone are connected.
2) Toggle "Personalization -> OK Google detection" off and back on ... "OK Google" now works
3) Toggle phone's Bluetooth off
4) Try "OK Google" on the watch now. It still works, but tells us it can't connect to the phone -- as expected.
5) Toggle Bluetooth on the phone back on. Make sure watch and the phone are now connected again.
6) "OK Google" now never works
I've tried and re-created this scenario multiple times. Does it match everyone else's experience?
Which brings me to the following question -- is there a way to flash the watch with AW 1.5? The watch was infinitely more useful with a reliable voice input; now it's just a notification device.
Just hold down the crown button for a few seconds and Google Assistant will start listening. I think it's more convenient than saying "OK Google" anyway

That doesn't work all that great when, say, driving or cooking. Having hands free voice commands work close to flawlessly is what made me return Apple Watch and switch to Android; Wear 2.0 was as much of a CF for that functionality as a major upgrade could be, and Google doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fix that.
Curious to see if anyone else is having success with using their voice to start commands on this watch. I have the "OK Google" recognition turned on. However, it never responds. If I restart the device, then it will recognize the command and proceed as normal.
All other voice prompts work as normal (after touching the screen of course). Not sure if I need to enable another setting.
thanks!
I just got this watch and had a similar issue. It seemed to work ok with one account on the watch. If I put my work account on it stopped working. It was set to the correct account etc. I reset 4 times, and each time the second account would mess it up. Eventually I discovered that there was an app update to androidwear on the watch that happened in the back ground that may actually be the culprit (discovered by some trials). I've only had the watch 3 days ago I'm still working on it. Last night when I went to bed, it was working. We'll see this morning. Also found out that needed to say "OK Google" slower. This is my 4th search watch and most finicky for sure!
i think I just found the answer: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...-android-wear-fix-smartwatchs-stuttering-lag/
to summarize, disable the ok google detection, and the watch speeds up dramatically. i can confirm this. but I really did not want to lose the ok google feature. but I read (and tested) that my long-pressing on the big button, google assistant pops up. this is an acceptable alternative for me.
hope this helps others.
When I was on Ver 2.0, "Ok Google" seldom worked. I gave up on it working.
I have reverted back to Ver 1.5 about a month ago and now, "Ok Google" works every time and very quickly.
