I converted my watchface made in Facer to a Watchmaker face, but had a batterydrain and some other issues. Maybe it's just me but at the moment I'll stay with Facer. I actually like the variety of features from Watchmaker though..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Habaddon:
I use Facer too, but now I have the same problem since the last update. The minutes are always 1 minute late and update when I wake up the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nrseife:
I think the lag with watchmaker in ambient mode has been fixed....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Habaddon:
Ah, yes, it seems to be better than before (I still have a little lag, but the same I have in the last version of Facer).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Randomjoel:
Does anyone know of a good photo gallery for Android wear. I had a nice one on my Smartwatch 2 and I would like to have one on my SWR50 too.

A good dialer? I am using hand dialer but hasn't favourite contacts for quick dialing.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
Wear messenger is a must for me. Love being able to text from watch when at work without even pulling my phone out.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
Maybe this app (paid):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.guidology.android.minidialer

Will try this one myself. Nice for using with carkit without display.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Enea307:
I think that this gallery app is the best i have tryed in SW3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flayvr.flayvr PS. I now you have alredy post before :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
I agree! Not using it too much but working fine... I will add this app to the list.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] DivinityCycle:
There are very few apps that are specific for this watch, but there are a bunch of "must have" Android Wear apps.

Not yet mentioned here is Google Keep, which has Android Wear support and is a surprisingly capable free cloud-synced note taking / task management solution.

Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep&hl=en

I think the guy asking about getting vibration notifications should check out LightFlow. I have not tried it out yet, but it has Android Wear support and allows you to customize the light & vibe properties of notifications.

Paid, $2.50 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow&hl=en

For the nerds who are into automation, I think you'll want to check out MacroDroid:

Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en

It's basically like Tasker, Automagic, and similar automation apps, but its Android Wear support appears to be the best out there at the moment.

The other option is the beta version of Auto Wear, from the same guy who made all those other crazy Tasker plugins like AutoVoice.

It's almost out in full release form, you can read about it here:

http://joaoapps.com/autowear/changelog/
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
very nice, ta..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] djgodlike:
Instead of Google Keep I use "Evernote" for notes and checklists on the watch. But Google Keep is working nice too and almost the same..

LightFlow is a cool app for my Sony Z2 to control led colours and vibration repeats on specific person messages or calls. Now supports wear vibrations indeed, but I'm not sure yet why I want to use it at the moment..

Have to digg in MacroDroid for wear, thanks for your input!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] martinmarv:
Coffee SMS is pretty good

Ugh - can't link to it, but search Coffee SMS on the Play Store.

Coffee SMS lets you reply to SMS messages with a bunch of canned and configurable responses. You can also set up shortcuts to send messages that aren't just responses. The shake-to-activate and side-tap options won't work well on our watches, but there are other ways to start it up.

Nice.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] julz:
Awesome thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] neuty:
If you're into fitness tracking- I'm talking about steps, food logs, calories, even a "coach", along with some competition, then Up by Jawbone is for you. You don't need an UP device. Theres one app that you do and one app that you don't, open source. Would be amazing if Fitbit did the same for their app.

UP- Jawbone
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alexoliv88:
Does it make use of the smartwatch or it just counts the steps based on the smartphone?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] neuty:
Yes, ive disabled Google Fit in my smartwatch. You won't get Google now pop ups (yet), but it DOES work offline, even in airplane mode. More accurate than Google Fit too.

So no, it doesn't use your phone, it uses the watch alone.

(On a side note, fitbit recently has enabled mobile tracking for phones, no Android Wear though).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] supac:
UP seems to drain the watch's battery. Syncs too much
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Megalith:
I wish there was a list of apps that can actually be used. Most of the apps for Android Wear seem to be "passive" apps that are slaved to your phone. I can't believe there isn't even a good reader app; the ones I've tried are weird in that they only let you load one e-book at a time, don't let you scroll through pages like a regular app, etc.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sxayarath:
Musixmatch

This is a great app if you want music lyrics on your watch. You can turn off the FloatingLyrics on your phone and it will still display on your Wear device.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musixmatch.android.lyrify

It says it supports Google Play Music and Spotify, as well. I can only attest that it works for Google Play Music.

Anyone found an app for offline audio books?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] AstroDigital:
My 2 cents InstaWeather is the best watch face, it is practical.

Many watch faces tell you the current conditions this watch face in ambient mode I see graph expected temp/pop, current conditions and location.

Live more I selected a live weather radar.

They charge a bit for the radar information but I like this information .

An essential for me is Feel the Wear, allows you to create custom vibrations for individual app notifications.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sk.martinflorek.wear.feelthewear

And Wear Charging Widget, give any wear device a night stand mode when charging.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vuxia.wearchargingwidget

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Wear CHarging Widget will do that nicely, been using it for the last couple of days and liking it.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Ironic6925:
Great tip, works great! The screen goes really dim with is nice.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cidefix:
I searched for a more puristic heart rate monitor app which runs stand alone on the watch and syncs with Google Fit, and

I found Sport Gear Tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnn.android.sport_gear_tracker. I use it with a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate sensor which also sends Polar's proprietary 5kHz signal used e. g. by the Technogym machines in my fitness studio. Bluetooth connection consumes quite a lot energy though.

App to remote control Sony Smartwatch 3 with PC?

I have unsuccessfully searched for an app to allow the Smartwatch to be controlled/monitored from a Windows PC. Anyone know of such an app? Thanks in advance, Vince
[Sony Smartwatch 3] rajivshahi:
its issue with the watch faces, not with the watchmaker. and saying that the watch face is updated only few times every minute when it's on ambient mode.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Spo0f:
Qualiss Watch Face finally with Weather, Steps, Watch and Phone battery and more :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cifrasoft:
My two cents: Gostracer, TrackID, and (free) Bees Voice Sound Recorder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beesteam.beesrecorder) to record audio from watch mic. BTW, any suggestions for wear-compatible audio recorders?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] JavaGP:
WatchMaker - for creating my custom watch faces. It also has way more faces on the facerepo.com site than Facer.

Wear Charging Widget - an easy way to tell if your micro USB is charging your watch and it makes a nice nightlight and bedside clock.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Spo0f:
Qualiss Watch Face is now interactive :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daveyp187:
I use pujie and Apollo launcher. I have a full app menu and custom buttons for web browser, task manager and settings. The middle cog opens the app window :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ajprice:
Pujie Black watch face (paid app £1.29)

(I'm new so I can't post links)

I haven't got my watch yet but this can make watch faces and Android widgets, there's lots of customisation for digital or analogue, round or square, and includes watch screens for weather, google fit steps and calendar events.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daveyp187:
Wear GBC is a great little emulator for wear. Good for Pokémon etc. Advanced wear music visualisations looks quality when listening to music etc
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tailslol:
instead of facer ill say more watchmaker because it is more compatible and works better ;)

i made some old school casio face here to make the smartwatch look like a regular digital lcd watch

(grey screen in dim mode and bright blue light in bright mode)

https://facerepo.com/app/faces/user/tailslol/1
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pawces:
if you're a PowerAmp user, Poweramp Remote for Android Wear is boss.

Wallet is great for keeping track of spending. Bubble widget launcher i've found is more stable than wear mini launcher and has a ton of customization. Lastly, Web browser for wear is great if only for this one thing: connecting to portal validated Wifi hotspots.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tailslol:
I think in wear 5.1 the launcher are not needed anymore.the os has a lot better menu and shortcuts than older versions.

And for browsing a watch is just to small...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geek778:
Hello,

I also have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and I am currently testing it inside out. Thanks for preparing this list. If anyone of you is interested, I prepared a list of my favorite watch faces and apps with watch faces here: https://mobileguru.lol/the-best-android-wear-watch-faces/
[Sony Smartwatch 3] donalberto17:
Your best android wear watch faces list sucks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] pawces:
More new favorites for the SW3:

GuruWear - lets you create custom instructions called "formulas" that you can bring up on your watch. Kind of like a step-by-step guide of pretty much anything you can think of that can come in handy. It has timer triggers that work even in ambient so it's also great as a training/exercise coach.

https://guruwear.net/

Wearable Widgets - replicates a static image of almost any widget on your phone to the watch. Best use case i've found was with Unified Remote (another favorite), with which I set up a widget for powerpoint control on my watch, great for office presentations. Both are paid apps but well worth the features they bring to the watch.

MacroDroid is like Tasker automation, but much less complicated to set up and has really good Wear support. You can configure a macro that pushes an actionable notification on wear, where you can choose to trigger even more macros. It's genius.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] daniel.weck:
At first I used the Facer app on my Android phone to try ready-made face watches, but in the end I created my own using the free online Facer creator app ( https://www.facer.io/creator ), in order to better suit my taste and meet my personal needs. In a nutshell: minimal 24h time + date + battery-percent, simple legible analog and digital styles, white background which is better than black with respect to outdoor visibility (transflective display).

I highly recommend the Facer creator online app, which transparently "links" into to the running app on my phone via the network (push notifications). The phone app then instantly updates the Facer app on my watch via bluetooth. This makes it really easy to test design changes. No time wasted.

Cheers, Dan

Factory reset, then flash the latest stock firmware for your country with Odin -factory reset again in recovery afterward.

If it still won't charge, particularly when switched off, then you have a hardware fault.

Replace the battery before testing.
