Android wear update

Just got it on my Moto 360 Gen 2. My quick settings only has 4 toggles though. No battery saver or volume. No speaker so that makes sense.

Some folks on the Moto Forum posted that they got the update. So I rebooted again and there it was. It's OK. Definitely steps in the right direction.

Pere....I have all the new options in my Quick Settings panel when I swipe down. The phone symbol isn't to make calls, it's to use the Find My Phone functionality.

Picked it up this morning and it again said "Wear OS got a key update." Restart.
NOW I have 6 icons and the new wear tutorial started.
Still the same version numbers. Weird.

Yep....the version numbering thing is a bit confusing by Google. They kind of need to figure out a simple way that we, the Wear OS users, can know what version we are on what's coming next, etc. I like this new update and it's what Android Wear 2.0 should have been. But come on now Google, make the version process easy to understand.

I got the update on Tuesday morning on my Huawei Watch 1. Android Wear version as per the screenshot posted previously.

I'm not entirely enamored of the change to notifications. The additional detail is nice, but now I have to scroll through a chunk of an email message before I can delete it, versus just bringing up the options and tapping delete. It's not a big deal, but it's there.
 
Nothing on any of our Moto 360's yet. I have Wear OS app 2.17..... on phone & watch, but no Wear OS 2.0.

I got the latest update last night on my Moto360 2nd Gen.

But Sajo, they're doing away with version numbers to make things less complicated!

Got the update a day or two ago. Nothing special, IMO. But I don't use my watch for anything other than being a watch, and as a fitness tracker.
 
The Google Fit app as changed a bit, don't you agree?

Don't use it, I use other apps. Those apps sync their data to it, but I don't ever use it on my watch.

I'll admit I wish we could do something else with the swipe left/right and other customizations. But Google always starts out trying to be Apple, then eventually remembers Google is about giving the user more options/choices rather than a one-size-fits-all user experience.
 
I have to admit that another thing I noticed is that animations and navigation through the menus has gotten smoother, which is a good thing. Battery life is the same, so nothing to complain there.
