Fitness or Other Useful Apps - LG Watch Urbane

Guys,
I just purchased the LG Urbane Watch and I like to check with you all whether there is any useful apps or Fitness Apps beside the Google Fit to use with the Watch.
Does this watch do sleep tracking?
Appreciate your input, thanks.

It can do sleep tracking with the Sleep As Android app

Sleep like Android

Endomondo is a nice fitness app and became even better with Android Wear.

Pebble Smart Watch SDK APPS....

Now that the backers are getting there smart watches I was thinking there should be a thread were to get apps and the sdk available to other users.
I would love to see KIK Messenger working and more clock faces to choose from.
+1 for more watch faces.
Would it be possible to create an app that used a bluetooth headset as well to enable voice control w/ Google Now?
I can't read Hebrew the font used is not unicode. Does anybody have any idea how to change it?

It is not possible to read any other alphabet other than the latin for now (I have the same problem with greek). I saw an app today made by a chinese or korean user (not sure) that pushed a translated message to the watch. Of course it used some data trafic to translate it via internet but it is a very good idea. I was wondering if there could be an app that automatically changed the greek characters to latin ones, the way they appear on a computer keyboard and then push the text/e-mail to the watch. Sadly, I have no idea of programming. If anyone knows how to do it, please do!

How's the shipping situation on these looking? Like if I order one today what's the ETA?
The kickstarter backer watches didn't arrive in germany yet.
New orders will likely take some time
Hope it will get to the Netherlands soon....

Mine is finally here. Amazing! I also have the Sony smartwatch. The Pebble is much better and easier to use. Pebble Notifier for Android is amazingly easy to use and all my wanted notification come to the watch now including Whatsapp and Chess Player.
Also loving the music remote function of the watch. Once selected it remains onscreen so changing a track can be done without looking at the watch.
I hope for the SDK more watch faces. I would like one with time, date and the current weather. I do hope that the coming apps for the watch works as the music remote app. I don't prefer a notificationcentre or something like that. The watch should remain simple.
i like this !!

Glance is nice but I prefer the Pebbler app on my android and the 91 Weather watch face. Great weather and info on the watch and seems to stay connected better than glance for me.
They sent me a free Pebble to play with. They have Plenty of Watchfaces at Pebble's Forums, you could check them out. +1 To the idea of having a thread seperate for all the Watchapps and Watchfaces.
Edit:
1- https://notesforpebble.com/ - This is a Notes App. You can Password protect all the notes. However, To save more than one note, you will need to buy it. A Nice App to Check out.
2- Google 'Keep for Pebble'. It needs a rooted Android, and it syncs All your google keep notes to your watch. An option if you don't want to pay for the one above but this one needs active bluetooth connection to view the notes while the first one does not require any bluetooth connection after installing.
And the Third and Final App(A Game Actually)- Koishiban! (Sukoban For Pebble). Check it out here (Still in Beta Stage so you will have to sugn up for testing on google+ which is free- http://forums.getpebble.com/discussion/6973/watch-app-android-beta-koishiban-sokoban-for-pebble-looking-for-beta-testers
Canvas is my favorite app, easy and powerful way to make custom watch faces. Right now my pebble displays the weather conditions & temperature with a dynamic icon as long as an animated row of missed calls, sms, & emails plus the battery percentage of my phone. oh yeah and the date&time
Canvas makes it super easy to do this.

Arriving Tomorrow

Hey guys,
My G Watch R is showing up tomorrow. Getting really excited. Been tracking it since it left South Korea on Thursday. It's in Memphis, TN right now. On it's way to Vancouver, BC.
I have put a few watchfaces and apps on my Google Play Wishlist that I want to load on the watch immediately.
Does anyone have any suggestions for watchfaces or apps to use on the watch?
Thanks!
My favorite watch face so far is Pujie Black. As far as apps, wear mini launcher is a must in my opinion. I also really like using IFTTT.

This is my favorite watch face as well. It's nice because you can still really read the time when a notification is blocking the hands.

[Q] Custom Watch faces??

Hey guys
I'm trying to create my own watch faces with pics I have on my phone. I tried the Watch Styler app and it wants you to pay for everything. Is there another app that will work? Also, I have the Android Wear manager and LG Watch Manager installed. But the LG one wont work. Is it because the watch is already connected with the Android Wear app??
Hi,
actually there are a lot of apps for this purpose.
* Watchmaker
* Facer
* Watch Faces for Android Wear
You can create your own designs with them on your phone with your pictures and transfer the finished watch face to your Urbane.

Cool. Thank you
Hate to revive a 6mo thread, but since my question is essentially the same, I figured I'd re-request to make sure the three above are still the preferred among the community. I bought the Urbane as a Christmas gift for my wife (small part of me hopes she doesn't like it and I get to keep it for myself). To help sell the idea, I figured if I pre-installed a watch face made up of our two kids (1yo and 2.5yo), she'd be less likely to walk away from it.

Compass watchface

How can one tell/know whether an android wear watch can have a compass that works? So far the only two i have gotten to work are the Moto 360 1st gen and the LG Watch R. I've confirmed the Moto 360 2nd gen, Asus Zenwatch 3, Samsung Gear S3 using the dynamic watch face do not work. When i look on gsm arena, none of these watches speak of a magnetometer, just an accelerometer and gyro... however i feel this is not accurate.

The Zenwatch 1, 2 and 3 do not have the compass feature.
The compass feature requires hardware in the watch itself.
None of the watchfaces which has a compass option will work.
Also none of the apps which have a compass function will work.
Good luck, have a great day!

I'm using the "Ranger Military Watch Face" from the Play store and its compass function works perfectly.

I thought the same with the same face, but checked against the phone and what I know to be North, it's not accurate. Was hoping it would work with Maps, maybe getting a feed from a device, but although it's consistent with your movements, it is not with correct direction.

LG Watch Sport and S Health

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if there is a way to get the LG Watch sport to work with S Health at all?
Or do you guys have any suggestions for a good fitness tracker app which works well with the note and the watch sport?
Thanks

Endomondo, give it a try. It syncs your workouts with S Health.
