Android Wear 5.1.1

[Grifter73]

So, the Android Wear 5.1.1 rollout has begun today with the ZenWatch. Mine is updating as I type this. What is everyone's first impressions?

Still waiting for mine to update ...

Biggest change I have seen so far are the wrist gestures. It's a cool feature, but with the wrist gestures on, you can't swipe a card right to dismiss it. You have to swipe down (unless I'm missing a setting somewhere). I have been so used to swiping right to get rid of a card, I have to re-learn it. Not a huge deal, just something to get used to.

Mine came OTA two days ago. I wish it hadn't, it's broken my battery charge indicator which is now stuck on 86%.

 

[Grifter73]

Have you tried resetting the watch?

 

[Willber G]

Yes, twice. It makes no difference except that it resets the indicator to the current value, but then it's stuck again. The charging symbol shows on the screen and the battery charges, but the battery monitor software doesn't recognise this.

Just got mine...made the font on my watchface bigger even though I changed the font to small
I always welcome a new update though!

2 updates today to Android Wear on my phone, but watch is still on 5.0.2.

Update:
Reset my watch and it updated. Very nice.

Still no update on mine. Is there something you have to do?

 

[B. Diddy]

Just as with any rollout, I would expect it to take a couple of weeks to reach everyone, so just hang tight ...

Just got the update and I'm loving it.

Mine just got it. This is a Samsung Fit day (going to the gym). but I'm gonna take a look

I had a bunch of problems when Android Wear updated a few days ago. Multiple resets and restarts and finding my watch faces again. working fine now and updating the watch as we speak.

 

[Richard Servello]

Just got it. Liking the new look.

 

[B. Diddy]

Ok, now I got it. Very nice. Now that the native app launcher is one touch away, I could unininstall the Mini Launcher I had found on Google Play.

I just found a "Pedometer Setting" in the new "App drawer" that comes up with you single tap the screen. I do not recall seeing this before. It lets you pick from three options for the "Type" of person you are for fine tuning the pedometer.

It would be nice to have some control over what apps show up there. Some of them I have no intention of ever using.

Biggest change I have seen so far are the wrist gestures. It's a cool feature, but with the wrist gestures on, you can't swipe a card right to dismiss it. You have to swipe down (unless I'm missing a setting somewhere). I have been so used to swiping right to get rid of a card, I have to re-learn it. Not a huge deal, just something to get used to.

I have the update as of a few minutes ago and swiping to the right still works to dismiss cards.

I noticed that I now have two Amazon apps for some reason

 

[Richard Servello]

I really like the wrist twist card flipping. But there should be a way to discuss hands free.

 

[malbry]

Yup, I have the same battery monitor problem since the 5.1.1 update.

 

[Richard Servello]

Swipe right still works the same.
