When originally purchasing my Huawei 2 Classic it said its OS was android wear 1.1 I then went to update the watch through the settings and it said it was up to date. After this, I attempted to manually install android wear 2.0 and was met with a red exclamation mark when booting into recovery mode from fastboot. Now when entering settings there isn't even an Android wear version. Am I missing something here or can the watch not get android wear 2.0?
Android Wear was rebranded Wear OS and with that new versioning. Thus Wear OS 1.0 ( and now 1.1) is newer then Android Wear 2.0.

Heya, I've ordered a Sony Smart Watch and was wondering, if there's a way to install common Android apps, since it's a normal android OS afaik.
hi, you install apps for the watch via the smartphones playstore. eg endomondo sports pro install on phone, install smartwatch addon and it pushes the app to the watch.
there are heaps of smartwatch apps on the playstore.
cheers

how long it's battery life could hold

It does not run android, and cannot run apps that aren't built for it
Actually, the apps run on your phone, not on the watch. That's why the connection is needed.

Its not running a normal Android OS afaik. Its running a uC/OS-II OS according to the teardown here: http://www.cmw.me/?q=node/59.
Besides, the battery wouldn't last 5 minutes, and the CPU won't be able to handle it haha.
The newly introduced Android wear devices/watches are compatible with N5, or just the LG G Watch?
All devices which run Android Wear should work perfectly. You can check your phone's compatibility by opening this link in your phone's browser: g.co/WearCheck
Re: Android wear is stoping android play.
zerosum0 said:
I have the latest version of both, but Android play kept stopping. When I looked at running apps it shows that the part of Android play that was causing the problem is the android wear link. When I took Android wear out Android play works perfectly. What is the problem as I can't have Android wear running? My phone is stable without it but as soon as I downloaded it play stops and starts all the time. I need to sort this out. Any ideas appreciated.

Fixed it myself
Hi,
I got a Fossil Gen.6 Smartwatch and struggled a lot to pair it with my Oneplus 8 Pro (OOS12 + UB + Root). Staying on the setup screen on the watch is very frustrating, and hopefully, i found a workaround.
I browsed the web a lot and have seen this fix only once, so i intend to share it widely to raise awareness. I also posted it on Oneplus Community forums.
Issue :
At first boot, the watch asks to download Wear OS by Google on a phone. In my case, if i download Wear OS from the Play Store, the app keeps saying "An error occured while finding devices" and i can't setup the Watch. Is the watch shy ? Why won't she come up to the phone ?? Is my phone wrong ? Did i get a defective watch out of factory ?? Many questions the google help page won't answer... You can read the Google troubleshooting guide on your phone but none of these tips work (to me)...
Fix :
Just uninstall Wear OS from your phone, and install this one from here or use the apk attached
Virustotal check here
It seems using Wear OS 2.0.0, (Android Wear at the time), works slightly better !
Before the setup with Android Wear, don't forget to factory reset / unpair the Watch if you connected it to another phone before (for me it worked on a P30 Lite but i don't own the device..). Once the setup is done and you have access to the watch, you can update Android Wear to Wear OS though Play Store
I have no clue if it's phone related, android OS version related, app permission related but this may work on other smartwatch too.

I've been reading, and seeing that the Huawei Watch GT 3 doesn't run fully harmony os, and therefore cannot enable developer settings and can't sideload apps with adb. So now, my question is if it's possible to swap the internals to the ones of the Huawei Watch 3 (which can sideload some apks), or to install pure harmony os or wear os. Thanks in advance!
