on my previous watch (Moto 360) and previous AW 1.5, I used to get the Google feed notifications on my watch. This was especially helpful when driving, as I would get instant (and quite often, preliminary) traffic alerts. I have not noticed this so going to the Asus Zenwatch 3. I can see the notifications on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S8).
Can someone please confirm if they are able to receive Google's notifications for traffic/weather/etc... and if that was just a feature in 1.5?
thanks!

A quick run down of what works and what doesn't.
1. Can send and receive calls via the watch. (then I changed my ringtone to "Knightrider")
2. Can send, receive, and reply to SMS via watch, send by using premade templates or Svoice typing (although not easy to switch between the two on the fly)
3. Can receive most notifications from APPS when selected
-cannot receive TASK notifications from calendar for some odd reason, so if i set up a task like "remind me in 5 minutes to brush my teeth" i get no reminder on the watch, but i do on the phone. This really makes me mad.
4. Can create appointments in calendar, but cannot set an appointment reminder. Note 3 has no default reminder setting, so if i use S voice on the watch to set a calender appointment, i will not get a reminder about it. This really makes me mad.
5. Cannot use Svoice to launch navigator from watch, but can from phone. This really makes me mad.
6. Can set an alarm using Svoice from watch, but cannot name the alarm. This makes me mad seeing as options 3 and 4 arent working either!!
-conclusion, no way for me to talk to watch and be reminded by watch and phone
7. went from 100% battery to 40% battery in 21 hours with heavy use. (3 phone calls, constant fiddling, media remote, tv remote, Sleep app, lots of testing)
8. Can control playback of currently selected playlist on phone via Media remote, with forward and backward skipping. Cannot select music on phone in any manner. This makes me mad too!
9. Watch on works great for controlling basic TV functions. There is no guides of any sort on watch for programs.
That should answer some of the questions that i had initially before my purchase but could not find. If anyone has any questions about functions ask and i will provide what i can.
10. When two notifications come in at the same time there is no way to view both without going to notifications app.
11. Cannot reply to email notifications
12. there is no Auto brightness setting, you must manage this manually
13. Svoice will not "Read the news" due to this function is not available
14. Dismissing a notification on the watch also dismisses the notification on the phone
15. deleting a notification on the watch does not delete it from the phone
16.You cannot set a "Location" reminder from Svoice on the watch, only a standard task reminder.
17. The wrist gesture is not very strict. My screen goes on unintentionally all the time. The minimum screen timeout is 10 seconds.
4. FIX - To make calendar reminders default to a value, you need to remove "My Calendar" and "Samsung Calendar" from the calendar app, instead only use Google calendar, when you use svoice to make an event, the google calendar will automatically add your predefined reminder.

This was a great run down! :good::good:
--especially since I was waiting to get my Neo, which finally arrived yesterday.
Question --where is the sleep app?
I hunted high and low and can't find it. (Either I am going blind or I need to do something to get it! I thought I saw somewhere in these XDA threads where someone had to download an update to enable or get sleep app, but I have the latest gear manager (updated yesterday when I setup the Neo).
My NEO software version is ANCD, (that is the only thing I am thinking could be the issue!)
Thank's in advance for any assistance
EDIT: SLEEP.APK OK I had to manually update the Neo's rom via Kies3 (after DL/Installing Kies3, plugged in the Neo and Kies discovered a software update. I went from Neo Rom NCD to ND8.) After the update, I had the Sleep app in apps!

folks
in android 4.x, when a calendar event popped up and you didn't dismiss, it would stay there forever
in lollipop, events automatically disappear after a few hours. Any way to replicate the previous behavior?
Thanks
Anybody?
bump
I noticed today that I can't explicitly Snooze calendar reminder notifications on Lollipop, which seems a big miss - there must be a way to do it with native Lollipop that I'm not seeing yet.
In the meantime, I'm checking out the Event Reminder app from Play store as a more functional alternative. It's too early for me to say whether that's what is needed, though.

I was wondering if the watch was supposed to notify via vibration or sound. I get neither. Of course, if it did, I might find I want to turn it off.
I'm assuming not, but thought I'd check.
Yes it should notify you of notifications.
I regularly get buzzed from hangouts and inbox by gmail notifications. Perhaps you you didn't give all the permissions to android wear and asus zenwatch manager?
Try "Feel the wear" to personalize sound and vibe
Make sure you don't have any setup notifications left by swiping up on the watchface. Mine didn't provide notifications until all the setup notifications were done.
I'm trying to decide between Urbane 2nd Edition and the Gear S3. I've considered the advantages of each watch and what I'll actually use the watch for. Considering everything the Urbane 2nd Ed seems to fit the bill more but there are still a few of things I'd like to check that the Urbane (with Android Wear 2.0) can do before pulling the pin.
Google Calendar:
- when Gmail/Google calendar notifications show up on the watch do they make the watch vibrate and/or turn the screen on?
- can you edit/amend details for a Calendar notifications?
- can you view the calendar and show specific days?
- can you scroll backwards (and forwards) in the Calendar app?
Nine Email (not GMail or Outlook):
- do Nine Email notifications show up on the watch?
WhatsApp & SMS
- do WhatsApp and SMS notification show up the watch?
- do they make the watch vibrate and/or turn the screen on?
- can you reply to them directly from the watch?
Any help much appreciated. :good:
I use NINE email.. i currently do not use the notifications on my phone so i do not see them on the phone.. i may enable them to see if they do work on the watch.. i'll report back.
I turned on the notifications for my Gmail and Work email via NINE. I did get notifications on my watch.. It didn't allow me to see the message.. but did have options to reply, mark read, delete.. etc.. Hope this helps!
I had the Watch 4 pro and now the Watch 5 pro and have experienced the same issue. I'm using a Galaxy S22 ultra phone as well. I do not get notifications/alerts on my watch when I get text messages to my default text messaging app, Google Messages. I have received a notification only 2 times. Both times I had sent a text with my phone while at work with bad service, and the message wont send. I then get notified on my watch that the text didn't send. And at that point, and text messages that come through will vibrate on my watch until while that original notification is there. Does anyone have my insight as to whether this is a known issue with Google Messages and the Galaxy Watches? I have all the proper notification settings in place. Its not a deal breaker enough for me to go back to the stock messaging app, but it would be nice to get Google Messages to work properly with the notifications! Both the phone and watch are regularly updated.
