[Moto 360] xdapao3:
Everyone's needs and wants are different. I am really looking forward to practically all of the features introduced in this update but the top 2, by far, are the always-on state for the apps (especially for Google Keep, which to me is a killer application for the Android Wear smartwatches and is the main reason I haven't got a Samsung smartwatch) and the Wi-Fi functionality.

I got the Moto 360 very recently and am selling my LG G Watch (which has long got the update...) especially for the Wi-Fi functionality!

I never leave my home without my phone (I have been using smartphones since YEARS before Jobs and Apple "invented" them... and they are critical "personal assistants" to me, the only thing I ALWAYS have with me) but when at home, being able to leave my smartphone somewhere (for example on its wireless charging pad) and yet still being able to be notified of everything in invaluable to me.

Actually, the only thing still missing which would make it perfect, it's Samsung (and now Apple too) smartwatches' ability to make and answer phone calls. I am confident, since Google's competitors have it, that it's only a question of time before we get that too.
[Moto 360] JeffMD:
Wifi is neat but the battery hit is gonna be bad..i wouldn't use it.

I don't care. I can't get used to the flat tyre. God I wish I'd got the LG!!

wtf is this lol
[Moto 360] jblazea50:
I'm having an issue connecting to wifi. I go into Wifi Setting, my SSID shows up, I click on it and it says open it on the phone to enter the password. When I click on it, it says Phone Away. However, my phone is right next to the watch.

Also, I'm not seeing the "Contacts" section in the launcher.
[Moto 360] SchmilK:
Just tried pushing 5.1.1 ota to /cache via adb and got an error about no permissions. After a reboot, like magic, the download was in progress....now i need to charge.
[Moto 360] onewingedangelj:
Still waiting for the battery to settle down on mine (got the update last night).

Only issue is noticed so far is that my contacts are showing up in the launcher, but when i get phone calls it only shows the number calling, not the contact's name. I think I saw that being an issue in some other 5.1.1 builds released already, but I haven't looked into whether it's been since resolved.
[Moto 360] pingpong1109:
Got the update on 6/18/15 EST
[Moto 360] qwen3579:
Just got the update here in San Antonio, TX. I hope it fixes a battery life issue on my Nexus 6 as well as as notification issues.
[Moto 360] kylebeattie11:
Haven't recieved the update yet, tried using ibVPN however the 360 still shows "System is up to date". Belfast. Northern Ireland.

Also tried resetting watch and unpairing through bluetooth, uninstalling AW App at least three times and still no update yet.
[Moto 360] spencer311:
I haven't gotten it here in Kansas... Have tried everything like 6 times. Even tried the VPN change a couple times. Still says software up to date...
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
If I had one guess, I'm going with you google translated the **** out of this... Because Brush is a pediatrician, though.
[Moto 360] crixley:
To force the update, install this updated android wear, wipe data and cache of android wear before opening: While doing this, reset your watch... Immediately check for update.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...roid-wear-1-1-1-2016316-android-apk-download/

You're welcome ;)
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
Well I can confirm this doesn't work...
[Moto 360] c_86:
this did not work...

still no update in Van, BC
[Moto 360] rohan007:
Download the new android wear app from apk mirror. Reset your watch, and after resetting wait for a few minutes until you have the updated GPservices version on watch. When you can see that it updates from 6.x to 7.x, your update will start downloading in a few minutes after that, if not, try a reboot.

Worked for me!! THANK YOU
[Moto 360] waxlabo:
Yes finally the update rolled out :)
[Moto 360] c_86:
Maybe im not allowed to have the update... ugh lol... it could also be that my watch is at 50% currently..
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
Ya, these "tricks" are all a coincidence man.. nothing works.. except patience I assume.
[Moto 360] vboyz103:
Confirm that this is working...downloading now.

Wait for a few minutes for things to settle down and then do manual check for updates via watch.

Steps:

Download and install the new APK

Before open, went to Apps (in Settings) and clear Cache and Data for Wear

Without opening Wear (yet), I reset the watch to factory

While watch resetting, I open Wear and click on the Moto 360 to get to the settings

Click on "Forget Watch" button at the bottom

Now back to Wear setup new device screen

Now watch booted up, select English and went to pairing process

At the tutorial, I swipe left to cancel tutorial

Sit idle for 5-6 minutes

On watch, I went to Settings, About, System Updates and voila there's the download

Check my post above. ^^
[Moto 360] Sleehrat00:
How do you even see if the GPservices have updated to either 6.x or 7.x?
[Moto 360] rohan007:
Open settings in your watch, then go to About, and check your Google Play Services version.

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Maybe, but the "tricks" seem to do the trick for almost everyone, so why not give it a try ;)

I also had the latest Google Play Services installed on my phone before I tried the above said things, so maybe that could also help.
[Moto 360] _Dennis_:
It's a staged roll out (like all android updates) it's based on the ID (not sure phone or watch though). It checks every couple of days, and once checked the server will say it's up to date until the next normal check (so forcing a check is usless). Now, resetting the watch will change its ID, so new CHANCE to get to update.

TL;DR you'll get the update, usually withing a week.
[Moto 360] Sleehrat00:
Fair enough, but in the About section of my watch, I see nothing about GPServices in that listing. What am I missing?

I can see that I am on version 5.0.2, but beyond that I see no other information about GPServices version numbers.

If we are talking about the on the phone, GPServices is already running 7.x. However, I am not seeing the update start unfortunately.
[Moto 360] c_86:
Oh I know. But one can and hope doing those tricks works lol
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
Oh trust me, I've tried these tricks.. been at it since last night. I know I'm not a retard. It just doesn't work. It's not based on resetting your watch it's based on other things like serial numbers and such.
[Moto 360] rohan007:
Click on the 5.0.2 version (or just above that), that will take you to a new screen showing your Google Play Services version.
[Moto 360] Sleehrat00:
Ah. GP Services is 6.7.74. Any way to force an update there to see if it triggers the big update to 5.1?
[Moto 360] rohan007:
I know, I even tried all such things last night. But the Android Wear App update was posted on apkmirror just a few hours ago, and it does the trick.
[Moto 360] stevessvt:
I've tried every single trick in this thread, not one has worked.
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
Well I have the apk posted install and my Google play services are at 7.x and still nothing. Which is conclusive proof that it's not based on what everyone thinks it's based on.
[Moto 360] rohan007:
Have you installed the new Android Wear App from apkmirror. If yes, then wait a 10-15 minutes and check again your GPservice version. If it's still not updated, make sure you have the latest GPservice version on your phone, which was released a day or two before.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

The Google Play Service version on your "watch" is 7.x? If yes, try a reboot/reset, and that will do. If it's still not updated, make sure you have the latest GPservice version on your phone, which was released a day or two before.
[Moto 360] borijess:
My update is downloading here in Chicago. I only have 10% battery.
[Moto 360] ibfromoakcali:
ooooo ooooohhhh shhhhhhhhh....... I don't know if it was random (because I tried 5 other methods about 20 times) or if this actually worked!!!!!
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
And to make matters worse, my wife who has a 360 and just uses it and doesn't care for updates, got a notification today for an update.. I've been doing all this stuff and still nothing..
[Moto 360] apristel:
I don't think it is a coincidence that i'll been waiting all day and last night...nothing... i installed the AW posted on page 20 and boom got it.
[Moto 360] rohan007:
Lol, exchange your 360 with her's, till your updates :P
[Moto 360] negriton:
If you want to drain your battery....
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
Hahaha!
[Moto 360] vboyz103:
LOL I feel your pain man. Keep trying...I think the key is in the Android Wear apk update.
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
I do. If it was the reason then it would work 100% for everyone. Not only sometimes.
[Moto 360] Sleehrat00:
Yeah, its not working for me either. I have tried a few times. I keep getting a message saying that Fit is requesting an update to Android Wear but I am running the apk that was posted earlier. I am getting nowhere in terms of getting GPServices to update to trigger the 5.1 update, yet GS on my phone is already 7.5. I am confused.

But I guess I'll just wait my turn in the queue unless anyone has any ideas.
[Moto 360] Faryaab:
From where did you get your 360 strap?
[Moto 360] JediSooner:
No update yet in Cibolo. Lol
[Moto 360] qwen3579:
Small world! I live in Cibolo. I forced the update by repeatedly resetting my watch and installing/reinstalling the wear app. I was frustrated with the issues I was experiencing.
[Moto 360] kylebeattie11:
Well, after many, many attempts its downloading!
[Moto 360] TechBSwift:
This actually does work but to ensure it works the first time you need to complete an additional step. After removing Android wear, go into setting applications, find Google play services and hit uninstall updates. This forces your phone to reinstall Google play services updates and assigns a new watch id

I tried all these steps over and over again, battery drained to 30% , went to charge it and notification appears .. Story of my life ..
[Moto 360] TechBSwift:
You have to take the good with the bad... You could have 30% and no update... Just saying

[Moto 360] raiu:
This does not work. Yes play services are now 7 on the watch, yes I have the updated wear app on the phone. Doesn't work. Says device is up to date
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
lol, that sounds like a recipe for bugs...

I tried to trigger the update with resets but now I don't have enough battery and I'm afraid it will do the same thing and start downloading when it doesn't have the time to finish!
[Moto 360] dlotters:
I checked my watch last night and this morning and there was no update. Then I read this thread and saw all these posts about Google Play services and updating android wear and then, without doing anything at all, boom! My watch offers me the update!

Moral of the story? Patience is a virtue. But if you've got nothing better to do, just reading these forums worked for me ;)

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge
[Moto 360] leximu5:
It might try to download it but it definitely won't attempt to install with anything less that 80%. In my case, I just got a notification until I got enough charge. Then it allowed me to "Swipe right to install".
[Moto 360] HuStLaZ:
woke up this morning with an update to the android wear app, plus the moto 360 update waiting on my watch. double whammy. nice.
[Moto 360] jarjar124:
For some reason my moto 360 doesn't know how to reboot or reset. Every time I select reboot or reset, it just powers off. Anyone else have this problem?
[Moto 360] Vincent Arnold:
Mine downloaded the update but would not apply it because the battery was below 80%.
[Moto 360] homesik_alien:
Got mine this morning. I'm in Hong Kong. The animation of the watchmaker faces seem a tad smoother
[Moto 360] Sleehrat00:
This is the gospel. Worked like as charm for me!
[Moto 360] monkor:
How long did the download take for you all? Did you have the battery at 100% beforehand?
[Moto 360] DanC7766:
I got the update after updating Google Play Services and Android Wear app to the latest version. Also, I reseted the watch. The update took about 20 minutes to download, started with 25% of battery and finished with only 8%. Recharged and installed successfully. :victory:

Note: I live in Mexico, but bought the watch in the US
[Moto 360] charming.arpit:
Got the update this morning... I still can't find an option to make watch faces "Always On"
[Moto 360] xdatastic:
It took about an hour for me to download to the watch, i'm on crappy internet connection though. It's only about 50MB in size, but is slow over bluetooth.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I could be wrong, but i think the feature was 'always on apps' not watch faces for the moto 360. You can install apps to make the moto always on, but it drains the battery crazy quick. StayLit Wear is one that works, i think Mini-Launcher or whatever its called also has this feature.
[Moto 360] borijess:
The 5.1.1 is so smooth now. Watch feels so much better now. So silky smooth.
[Moto 360] ShadowVlican:
got the update today

watch feels smoother than before... don't know if that's placebo or not...
[Moto 360] c_86:
Looks like I will be claiming my watch under warranty. Just found a couple dead pixels.
[Moto 360] imaleecher:
I tried resetting the watch multiple times, installing the newest Android Wear and was unable to get the update.

Uninstalling Google Services on my phone, reboot and reinstall Google Services. Then reset my watch and while letting it idle, it picked up the update on it's own. No need to go to About and check for update for me. Good luck to the rest of you guys! Time to test out the new features!!
[Moto 360] BrumBrum74:
I have no option to reinstall Google Services or uninstall any updates to it.

Tried the suggestions in here but no new update.
[Moto 360] imaleecher:
Your phone may vary. Go to Application Manager and find Google Play Services. Then DISABLE and you should now be allowed to UNINSTALL UPDATES. After this, restart phone and update Google Play Services via Play Store. YMMV
[Moto 360] BrumBrum74:
Says uninstall in blocked.

Have a different phone I can use and that one I had the option to uninstall.

Need to charge my phone before continuing as I have 1% power on my phone and my Moto 360 is only at 63% anyways.

Edit: Doesn't look like I'll be getting the update yet. I'll wait a few days and see then.
[Moto 360] Gibbothegreat:
Currently installing update got it after updating android wear via apkmirror :)
[Moto 360] HuStLaZ:
i can't notice any extra smoothness, performance increase after the update.

the UI is nice. Battery has drained faster today. Will let it drain right down then charge it and see how battery is after that
[Moto 360] tafo:
Yea I did that the same way... In addition to the known OTA force update process and installing the new android wear phone app, I installed the latest play services, it made frequent force closes so I cleared the data and uninstalled updates and voilà..the OTA was pushed to my watch. From my previous experience with the watch, I usually wait as an average of 1 week from the official OTA release regardless the forced Update or not. My location in Lebanon. happy so far with update ( for sure didn't test the battery yet)[emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]
[Moto 360] eklkpj:
It's finally here!!

I try all the tricks and tips on this forum guy's, until I download the new Android wear apk from apkmiroor websites and Voila! Its work like a charm!
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
If I wait for the OTA update will I loose all the watchfaces I have on my watch? I know that if I do reset the watch I will...
[Moto 360] BrumBrum74:
Did you use the apk from Page 20? Or a different one?
[Moto 360] xdatastic:
If you wait for ota you will keep all your configuration.
[Moto 360] kwaazaar:
No, everything keeps working as is.

I did a factory reset anyway. Somehow android seems to run better that way, however no signs yet that that applies to the watch as well.
[Moto 360] loveboatcaptain:
For me nothing worked to force the update. Tried all tipps. Installing the newest AW, reinstalled and updated GooglePlayServices, reset Watch like 10 times ;) I think you can't force it like someone said before. You have to pic a number and have to wait until you are getting your update. All the others who had success just forced their own update to download cause there where in the queue already but didn't receive the OTA notification. Perhaps it would have even worked when they where dancing or turning around while holding the watch all the time in North direction :D I will not spend more time in trying to force it and just wait ;)
[Moto 360] Takeoo111111:
I can confirm that. It's working. (Germany)
[Moto 360] oposiasty:
Warsaw, Poland.

I've recieved OTA at 11PM CEST on 18/06.

Battery life is good so far (20% in 7h, WiFi turned on). UI is more responsive and faster overall, I can say that 5.1.1 is much more better than 5.0.2. Only con - WearBoy 3000 is not working anymore :(
[Moto 360] pietrucci:
Yeah patience is a virtue. Especially when you already got the update... hihi
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
You didn't do a reset and yet it's smoother anyway? Can someone else confirm this?
[Moto 360] Cst79:
I can confirm this, no need to reset watch. The UI is smoother and a lot more responsive (for example when you tap the screen to bring in the menu there was a 1+ second delay before, now it's instantaneous. Scrolling is smoother too. Everything is noticeably faster. I suppose the iWatch made Google work a bit harder on this update.
[Moto 360] raiu:
Then you have android device manager set as a device admin. Remove that and you will be able to uninstall the updates.
[Moto 360] mariustr:
Worked for me in Romania!downloaded it and now waiting to charge to at least 80% to install it.
[Moto 360] kisrita:
Same here. Tried 4 times, three times before and once after I updated AW and Google Play Services. Last reset was about 12 hrs ago, I am now at 100% battery, but no update. For all I know I might have gotten the update sooner if I left it alone.
[Moto 360] boostnek9:
What fresh hell is this? I woke up this morning and while having my coffee, I checked for an update, nothing. reset my watch to factory and BAM! update..

But wait... There's more! It kept saying failed, try again and seems my watch was disconnecting from my phone which is odd, this never happened but it sure as heck is happening now.

I reset my since it wouldn't connect anymore and low and behold.. SYSTEM IS UP TO DATE .. on 5.0.2..

I'm going to throw this watch in the toilet.
[Moto 360] kxhaz:
Got my update yesterday, was just trying to restart my watch to see if that would do anything, but hit reset watch by accident, so I quickly uninstalled the Android Wear app, rebooted my phone and reinstalled and the update showed up.

Hard to tell on battery life because my Google Play music had to transfer over, which seemed to go a little quicker than before. Last night I was able to leave my phone in the house and mow the yard and got notifications through the wifi connection while playing music via bluetooth from the watch. I did notice in the back part of the yard I did not even have a wifi connection, which my router (Google Fiber) has great range. Now at work today where my office is has a decent (not great) connection to the works wifi, but the network will not show up on my watch to connect to. So I am wondering if Moto/Google to save battery life ticked back the power of the wifi reception.

Over all the new features are really nice. I never thought the 360 UI was bad, I am not sure that it is better now, but I still think it is real good. I like the new app drawer and the being able to move my wrist to scroll is really nice as well. As long as the battery does not tank (normally off at 5 am back on at 10 pm with about 30% left, with a 45 min Runkeeper run (GPS kills the battery)) to where I can not get a full day I will be very happy.
[Moto 360] eflyersteve:
Just wanted to add that no manner of sorcery that has been documented has worked to get my Moto 360 to force the update. I've tried a few more than once. I'll just have to wait. My son also hasn't gotten the update. Hopefully sometime today because the wifi feature will really come in handy at work.
[Moto 360] boostnek9:

[Moto 360] jpen:
I'm there with you! We are going to have to start a counseling session for all of us still on 5.0.2.

I'm in Connecticut/Rhode Island area if that helps with the location of the update (or lack of).
[Moto 360] jt3:
FINALLY, got the update. My watch was determined to stay on 5.0.2. I already had the updated AW, so I cleared data/cache on that, and reset the watch.. Took two tries, but finally started downloading. I know people say it doesn't matter, and that may be partially true, but I think sometimes the watch doesn't actually check for updates, even when you manually tell it to do so, and it needs some incentive. All I know is that with 5.0.2, I waited for over a month and still hadn't gotten the update, then immediately got it after the first reset. My theory is that all the voodoo posted in this thread won't guarantee an update, but it may force your watch to actually check for it.
[Moto 360] tcrews:
I tried that...nada. I've gone through all the step processes multiple times on my Nexus 6, finally just reset the watch and installed Android Wear on my Moto X. No update. Repeated steps on my Moto X.....no update. Started the process over again on my Nexus 6 after resetting the watch and re-pairing it to the Nexus 6....no update.

I've resigned to just waiting...

[Moto 360] blakedunc235:
I tried to check for the update last night and it said that I was up-to-date so I went on here and saw a force update method and it actually worked.

I factory reset the watch and while it was resetting I unpaired it on my phone from the bluetooth settings screen in the settings app, not from the android wear app. (the guy said that was important, idk)

While its still resetting I uninstalled android wear and reinstalled it.

Then you pair it normally and when you get to the watchface dont go through the tutorial. Immediately go check for an update and it should say downloading right away.

It worked for me first try and like I said I checked for an update right before trying. Since I've been using it I have noticed a little more battery usage. I just turned off the tilt to wake since I usually have that off but my phone set it back after uninstalling and reinstalling last night.
