I'm new to smart watches and android wear. Pinterest is listed on google play as an Android wear app, But after installing on my Samsung s4 the app does't show up on watch.
I've tried the usual, reboot watch and phone with no joy. watch is connected since it communicates with the phone with other apps. Seem to have the same problem with "watchmaker" app.

I am trying to use Strava on the Gear 1. I have Null_23 running (since Tizen wasn't allowing me to get beyond the sync wizard with my iphone 5c). Downloaded the app via the Google Play store and installed fine. When I go to run the app it says that my Google Play Services need to be updated. Clicking on update doesn't work. I read elsewhere that youtube was a possible cause to this issue (here) but my Gear doesn't have youtube installed, so that doesn't make sense.
HALP! How do I either update Google Play Services, or if thats not possible to do without hosing my Null, get around the necessity of Google Play Services in order to run Strava?
as per title. GG1 (rooted, Null_) and S4 (custom rom 4.4.2)
no matter what version of Gear manager I use I can't get watch styler or wearable widgets to show in my gear manager on the phone.
is there some kind of fix?
problem solved, a mod can delete this now.
I was originally fetching my watch styler from Aptoide (wasn't on the play store so I assumed it had been removed)
turns out I had to get watch styler from Gear managers app store.
I just got my GWR yesterday and I can't install any watch faces from the google play store nor will it update (came out of the box with 4.4). I had a Gear Live (Samsung's Android Wear watch) that received the OTA 5.1.1 update and I was able to install watch faces. I tested the GWR on 3 different devices and factory resetted it at least 10 times. Same problem each time. All the notification functions work perfectly. I'm able to install Web Browser and Wear Mini Launcher.
I noticed the Android Wear app was updated on August 18. Did Google remove functionality? After I download watch faces from the Google Play store, I don't see an option to change the watch face in the Android Wear app. Are others having the same problem? I attached a screen shot.

You have the same problem as a couple of users in this thread on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/help/how-to-update-lg-g-watch-r-t3177653 and this thread ( https://productforums.google.com/fo...er#!msg/android-wear/lCEQwWynNZo/xqsgS_VGAgAJ ) on the Google Product Support forum, myself included (although I am running 4.4W.2).
You currently have 2 choices. Either follow the first thread and update the watch manually or you can wait for a little while longer. I would wait (and will) because I believe the reason why we are still on 4.4 is because LG "closed the doors" for OTA updates and will open it with the latest update that was announced today - http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-g-watch-r-will-gain-wi-fi-functionality-thanks-android-wear-update .
I've installed several 3rd party watch faces in the android wear app but they aren't showing up on my LG G Watch R running AW2
Open Playstore on the Watch and swipe down... there you find the downloads for the Watchfaces ...
In AW2 apps are not installed on the watch automatically. You can install on phone and watch separately which is good. But installing on the watch is slow and cumbersome. Open Google Play store on the watch and you'll find a menu called "apps on phone" or something like that.
You can also install other wear apps directly to the watch without having to run the companion app on the phone.
Is it possible to add a google store app? I would like to take away the samsung tx msg app and add signal the app i use on my cell. Was reading i needed to add GAssist to be able to load google apps but can't even find that app to load it. t/u
GAssist does NOT load any google apps on your watch. All that GAssist does is talk to your phone and send Google Assistant data from your phone to your watch. All Samsung watches are running TizenOS which is different from Google's Android OS. You can't install any apps from the play store on your watch. You can install companion apps for your phone from the Play Store, but you'll need the siblings on your watch from Galaxy Store.
No, google apps are Android; the watch os is Tizen...
