Install them the same way but you have to allow unsigned drivers.
Edit Google tool adb fastboot drivers xda and try that

if need more help to disable Driver signature on windows 8..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk

Will it not cause problems due to incompatible drivers?

1. If you get the drivers from Google (as part of the SDK) you do NOT have to disable driver signing
2. When Windows asks where the drivers are, point it to the android_winusb.inf file in the SDK /extras/google/usb_driver folder and just allow it to install
3. Do the same for fastboot as well
Works for me, and this is with USB 3.0 as well - no funny work arounds required

You need to turn of driver verification from advanced startup options and install the drivers in windows 8.x

The Sony Smartwatch firmware updates automatically via the Bluetooth connection with the phone. My watch updated its firmware the first time I paired it with the phone and had the software installed. Is there a particular reason to struggle with the USB method?
Mine did the same. Checked this morning through USB just to see but was up to date.
I don't think it's necessary to struggle with the USB as it'll come automatically through Playstore and Bleutooth.

Hmm, that's curious, mine is still at .46, .80 is supposed to be the big update so I wonder what .60 is? Any noticeable changes on your watch? Could you head to the Play Store on your phone and check the version number of the SmartWatch 2 app from Sony, not Smart Connect. Mine is showing as 13 Dec, the 1.3.19 version.
As far as I am aware, there are no USB drivers for the smartwatch, so trying to plug it in to your PC shouldn't get you very far at all, unless there's some new tool from Sony I don't know about.

The one you quoted was the old firmware. Look carefully in your firmware version. There is a 3 instead of a 0 somewhere which makes yours the latest at the moment.

Even the guide is icluded, i'll explain how to install
First you need to know if your windows is 32bit or 64bit. Is it 32bit version?
You need some application to UNPACK the drivers first. In 32bit folder there is a file "20445958_5bc1484ffe8efe19eeb100975cd41e7fe900dae9.cab". You need to extraxt it using Winrar or 7-zip. Once done you can proceed in the way you did before

[Q] New update

I guess everyone got notification for downloading update for android 5.0 lollipop on nexus 5. When the download is complete and the phone is restarted, it takes me to TWRP screen and I could not figure out what to do next. How could I update now ?
Are you stock?

same issue
you have the same issue as I do. if you press the wee squiggly lines at the botton and you will see the log that the install failed.
looks like the root job left something with a KVT49L signature and lollipop wont update now. I posted on how to get by this by no replies as of yet.
I suppose stock android has to be reinstalled wiping out the phone then the ota would work......but I am not sure how to reinstall stock kitkat

I already done it, but Universal Installer doesn't show anything about installing drivers. Just error "Not compatible with Win8 x64"
UPDATE : Sorry, i've been disabling singification enforcement when installing flashtool. Seems like Windows Re-enabled it again by itself.
