Can't install watch faces or Lollipop update

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 .

New Tablet - No App Updates in the Play Store (only for manually installed apps)

Hello!
I have a new Galaxy Tab S2.
I have trouble updating the preinstalled apps with Play Store.
In brief:
With my old smartphone (HTC One M8), after I reset the phone, I can go to the Play Store (My Apps) and it shows more than 30 updates. With the new Galaxy Tab: No Updates.
Only after I install 1 app, it shows if this one app is up to date. If I open a preinstalled app it may be that the software redirects me to the Play Store and that I can install an update for this single app.
What's with that?
In detail:
Usually (on my Nexus and HTC smartphones) I go to "My Apps" in the Play Store and I can see all the installed apps that can be updated, or not. Like for example: Google Drive, Chrome, Google+, Hangouts, ...
But with my Galaxy Tab I see no apps. Only if i manually install an app (like for example VLC for Android, then I see this single app in the list of "My Apps". If I install another app, then I see VLC and the other app. But not the preinstalled ones.
What's going on? I don't understand it.
Maybe the preinatalled apps are tied to the Galaxy Store
Thanks for the answer. I went into the Play Store again today, and now it worked. I don't know what the issue was yesterday.

Downloading in-App Content Doesn't Work

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 7 Nougat and latest Gear VR R323, everything works fine except none of the apps that have in-app download works. If I hit the download then it will download the content and after if finishes it returns to the screen which says download! I tried more than 6 apps all have the same issue. Some of these apps have stream option which works perfectly.
Uninstalling all Oculus and Gear VR Apps helped me to solve the issue.

Latest Touchwiz Home Launcher

Apparently the latest version of the Touchwiz Launcher is 6.1.50, but the one installed on my phone is 6.1.14. The Galaxy App Store says the latest is 6.1.9. I found the launcher in Google Play Store and it says it is incompatible with my device. Does anyone know the reason(s) for the discrepancies between what is in the Google Play Store, the Galaxy App Store, installed on our phones? Or how to get version 6.1.50 without side-loading?

google store app

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...
