    Screen Dimming?

    You are honestly better turning off "always on" for lots of reasons. Chief among them is that the normal screen becomes more responsive to coming on when you look at your watch.

    Why doesn't weather show on watch faces?

    Re: My G Watch R does't show weather information in any faces. I recommend Watchmaker Premium. Well worth it as you get almost complete control over your watchfaces.

    Sand outer rim for clean sporty look.

    There have been posts about sanding all of the black paint off your LG G Watch R to make it a stainless steel watch. While this is cool its a big job. An alternative which actually looks cooler in my opinion is just to sand the outer rim exposing the shiny metal. Just use ultra-fine (600)...

    Went from Gear 2 to LG G Watch R, and have questions....

    One of the features of the upcoming Android Wear release will be to review previously swiped away cards. Whether this will allow focus on the messages of one person or not I don't know. Yes Tizen does this one thing better than Android Now but you also have no access to Google Now and Google...

    How can I scroll through multiple text messages from the same sender?

    Android Wear does not yet have the capability to scroll through prior text messages on the watch. Tizen allows this but Tizen's other weaknesses supersede this small benefit. Apparently the new version of Android Wear coming out will allow you to go back over swiped away cards. Not sure if...

    How can I scroll through multiple text messages from the same sender?

    Use an app called "Textra" as your default texting app and you will be able to respond to text messages via voice. Its a good free texting app.

    Hmmm, not getting individual email notifications...

    Using stock email app on Note 3. Not getting any individual email notifications, just the summary thing every few hours. Does Android Wear work only with Gmail for individual notifications?

    I've got the LG G Watch R, you've got questions. Let's do this.

    Anyone who thinks the screen on this watch is "tiny" and "hard to swipe" has clearly never actually tried the watch. The screen is plenty big for handling anything Android Wear can throw at it and text is clearer because of the amoled screen and higher ppi. The bezel does serve a purpose: 1)...

    LG G Watch R problems..on my 2nd unit

    I've noticed it seems to work best if your arm has been hanging down to your side and then you lift it to look at the face. If I have it on the desk while typing then raise my arm it's a bit hit or miss.

    G watch R pics with metal band

    I love the leather band that comes with this. Thick, high quality and very comfortable. Have no idea why some people hate it so. Awesome band.
