360 constantly waking on its own

[NovaFox238]

As the title says... Has anyone else been having a problem with their Moto360 randomly waking up every 10-30 seconds? It's driving me crazy and I can't tell what's waking it, EVERYTHING is practically off (ambient, tilt blah blah.) android wear is at the top of my "Watch Battery" 2nd to screen wake time , so I'm wondering if it's that alone? It's one thing for the battery to drain severely but im talking about the watch walking up way too much for no reason. The only way it stops is if I turn off Bluetooth... But what's a smartwatch without it? I'm probably missing details and I've searched everywhere for the same problem but any other threads I found on other forums are anywhere from 2-3 months old. I've had this watch for approx 1 week. I've also already tried factory wipe, everything that I could possibly think. I've seen people say just return it, or exchange it.. But I don't want to do that unless I really have to help? Lol

Are there any notifications being displayed on the watch when it wakes? What about in your phone? I know you said you tried factory reset... is that for your phone or your watch? (I'm guessing the watch, but I wanted to confirm, because that's what I was going to suggest).

I'd try 'forgetting' the watch from your phone and then re-adding it.

A friend of mine had a G Watch that was doing this. We thought it could be a faulty motion sensor. He bought it at Best Buy so he took it back and they exchanged it for a new one. There have been no issues with his new one. Could be you just have a faulty watch.

Unfortunately I tried all that already.

I just exchanged it for a different one a few hours ago. New one is charging at the moment. It's all set up and will report back in a few days.

Hope it doesn't do it, it sucks when devices don't act the way they're supposed to...

So after 2 exchanged devices at various best buy stores, it seems the 3rd times a charm. On the 3rd day so far. Battery is lasting me at least one full day. Hoping after it will stabilize and get better. Will keep an eye on it. It's a shame I had to go back and replace it, the 2nd one died on me and wouldn't ever start.

Damn! If I had a device fail on me a second time I'd probably ask for a refund and move on to a different brand :S Come on Moto, you're better than this!

Hah. The kicker to the story was when I went into best buy, the guy in front of me was returning his Moto360 as well. His apparently wasn't pairing to his phone. After the 3rd attempt I would have probably gotten my money back, but so far so good.

Any way to disable rotate to display? I don't like seeing the display light up every few seconds when working.

If you're talking about tilt to wake then just go into Android Wear app, settings button, Moto360 and untoggle it. Otherwise I use theater mode while I work to prevent it from waking up.

Try to go with untoggle tile to wake first. Will need to see it for few days and if this doesn't help, the only way is try out theater mode.
