Android Wear 5.0

[dsneedmd]

Have not got new Android Wear yet & see now way to force update. Anyone else got the update yet. How to force update?

Some ppl say you can force it by reseting your watch and checking I've done it twice and still nothing but I got a moto 360

Don't rush, it's a buggy disgrace. Battery drain, apps misbehaving, frequent Bluetooth disconnections, new features don't show up or work. Do they not test this stuff? No smartwatch manufacturer skins therefore no fragmentation...what is the excuse for this?! I was mostly happy with my Zenwatch before this...

I got an update to Android Wear last night & Zen Watch started having lots of problems. Watch said Android Wear stopped over & over. I restarted watch & acting better now.

OK first time to update since the initial setup on my watch. The android wear app on the phone updated Friday to 1.0.5.1630507. But no update has been pushed to the watch yet. So my question is that the updated phone app does not mean the watch was getting the update, the watch is a separate update altogether?

Same thing with me. App updated but watch has not. I tried resetting and restarting my LG G Watch and it's still stuck on 1.0.1.1520385 and "system up to date".

My zenwatch still says 4.4w.2 on the watch though the app did get updated this week to 1.0.5.1630507

Don't think you can force it. I got 2 updates within 30 minutes of turning it on tonight. Second one was 5.01.

Received the new update. Battery life is now horrible. 5 hours at best and print on notices is so light I can barely read the email/text. Bad release!

BTW, I also have a Moto 360 and battery life has not been so badly deflated.

I did live chat with Asus tech support about this 5.0.1 update at the following site: http://www.service.asus.com/#!b2c2/c24v6
I was told Asus would look into it and issue an upgrade. Not very reassuring. BTW, my Moto 360 is working fine with the new Android Wear upgrade.

We all need to bombard Asus with complaints so that this problem is fixed.

Update: all is good. I reinstalled the ZenWatch Manager and battery life is back to normal.
