Have just bought this to replace my Gear Fit 2. I have been downloading some music for running and have been doing this through Google Music. The problem I am having is that the watch does not have all the music in my collection. It is in alphabetical order and goes to the letter G and no further. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to resolve it? I am on the latest version according to my watch.

I just wanted to know if there was any talk ever about software that would help me manage my phone and maybe that i could get music from?
Use Android Music to manage your music files and Amazon Music to buy the music.
It just seems weird that Google wouldnt do that especially with this device I saw called the Samsung Galaxy 5. When I found that, it prompted my original question because it is marketed as a music player.
I read somewhere they are working on adding a music store to the Google Music app

Check out media monkey. It allow for syncing to android devices. And only runs one background process (when running).. unlike iTunes which runs four at all times.

Hi,
Casio's new GShock-GBA400 model watch is able to record music sample and query it from Soundhound app on the phone. Then it returns the result from app on the watch's LCS screen as song title.
The watch is communicating with the Android phone through bluetooth.
I believe this could be achieveable with our beloved Gear 2.
Any developer who could do this ? I'd gladly pay for such app.
any ideas?
is it possible ?
with the soundhound widget and Wearable Widgets app, I was able to do this. Of course it does not use the mic on Gear,instead uses the mic of the phone. But better than nothing.
I use AppLauncher and then added Shazam to the list. In Shazam, there's an option to enable the app to listen right after its been opened. Works great
A new app got posted today called Gearam Music ID - works great and seems to use the watch mic instead of opening an app on the phone. Bonus is you can immediately play to Google Music if you subscribe.

yes, I saw and tried that. Good one.
But personally I would prefer Soundhound. Because Gearam has a smaller DB (imho) , its recognition is not that well.

Gearam uses Gracenote DB.
I used to have Gearam Music ID installed on my watch, but I just bought a new phone and had do a factory reset on the watch when pairing them up. I want to reinstall Gearam but I can't find it in the store anymore! Does anybody have an apk for it?
I'm interested in the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, but reading reviews and comments I found this one:
"BEWARE! International users that do not have access to Google Play Music shall avoid this watch (and all other Android Wear 2.0 devices) at all cost if you want to play music on the watch. This is because to load music onto the watch, you will need access to Play Music which is region locked."
Can anyone confirm this? The main usage for me would be running, so I need GPS + Play Music.
I will buy it on USA and use it abroad.
Why you have no access to google play music?
I'm surprised this hasn't gotten any coverage from any android site thus far. If you have local music files (aka not streaming, files you've uploaded to google play music) you can no longer play these files with voice commands. Google claims to be looking into it but it hasn't been fixed in months.

I just got a new phone and I guess my old Nexus 5 (which I had upgraded to Nougat) didn't seem to have a problem but my new LG V30 has it. I can't seem to call on music like I used to, just by saying an artist or an artist and a song. I am not playing locally stored music (although that would also be nice) but music that I uploaded to the Google Play Music library. A terrible decision if this is how it is going to be.

I'm running Nougat on my Xperia Z5.
When I tell the Google Assistant «Play the song "track title"», it searches in YouTube and tries to open YouTube app. However, sometimes it plays it from my local storage using Google Play Music app.
But whenever I disconnect my phone from internet, Google Assistant always plays the song from phone's local storage using the same command.
By the way, it's very irritating that I have to turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data whenever I wanna play a song from my phone's storage.
I know Pandora was pulled from the Google play store because Pandora not supporting it. I am just wondering if anyone still has it on their Watch and could share the apk with me. I had it installed on my watch 4 until I had to send it in for repairs. I will be forever greatful as I have already searched high and low for it and can't find it anywhere.
@Zdoggsm you mean this one?

Pandora 1.0 APK download for Android. nice apps

That's not the correct one that was on the Google play store. This one you posted don't even work for me it just closes out after a minute or so but you had me excited I been hunting for this. Sadly I don't even know the version number it was or nothing as it was pulled from the playstore and I lost it off my watch when Samsung reset my watch for repairs.
I've looked high and low figured my only hope is someone still having it installed on their watch and then them pulling the apk off the watch so it can be sideloaded.
