I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who likes my M360 syncing with my tablet when I'm home, and with my smartphone when I'm out. There is actually no official way to pair the M360 with multiple Android devices at the same time, but I have, however, figured out an alternative. I am going to assume that you already have it paired to one device. If not I believe there are other threads out there to help you with that!
Steps:
In the Android Wear official app, tap the watch icon on the translucent black bar atop the screen to disconnect the M360 first
Check to make sure that underneath the name of your device, the status reads "Not connected"
Go to the watch settings, and reset the device, yes unfortunately there is no way around except factory resetting first
Now go through the original instructions upon boot making sure that this time you pair it with your OTHER Android device
Follow the first two steps again after the device has been paired successfully and booted up
Congratulations! The M360 should now pair with the two devices one at a time after being disconnected from one another!
Hope this helped you guys, as this method definitely works for me with my Nexus 7 (flo) and Galaxy SIII (SGH-I747)!
Doesn't work as of now, using a Google Nexus 10 tablet and Sony Xperia Z2 smartphone. Whichever device is paired last works fine. The other device will manage a pairing request just fine after disconnecting the first one, but once that pairing request is approved, it will sit forever on the "Connecting..." status, and never actually connect.
Is this every watch? I use 2 phones every day because my work does not allow camera phones. I think not being to connect to 2 devices at this junction of tech should not be a handicap.
is it possible to install RunKeeper on moto 360 and upload all activity to my profile?

Yes this is an Android Wear limitation, not a Moto 360 one.

I second that opinion. I just learned of this yesterday when I got my Moto 360. I have been using SmartWatch 2 before and figured that Android Wear being so much newer and with more features it would allow me to connect it to multiple devices... well, crap.
Is the situation same even with the new 5.1.1 version of Android Wear? Google *still* doesn't let us connect to multiple devices?
(And iOS doesn't even have the Android Wear app.. you'd think we live 15 years in the past with these stupid limitations...)
No this limitation has not changed.
so do i have to connnect everytime that i leave one device behind within the app? Bc they both wont stay connected its one or the other??

It was fully charged, android wear installed, paired with Moto X and all it does is stay in a loop cannot connect to internet. The Moto X is connected to internet and bluetooth is on and is saying 360 is paired. And software was fully downloaded to the 360 after I installed android wear and paired.
Went to a website that the 360 instructed to get help with this error message. No dice as it didn't help.
I'm not sure I have the latest software on the 360 either.
I cannot go any further. Help!
Try doing a reset device from the menu? To see if you have latest check about in the options menu and check your build number.. if its KGW42N.. its the latest.
Sounds like it could be a phone/connection issue though. If you're on wifi make sure your screen stays on.. wifi could be dropped if the screen on your phone turns off during an update.

In my case, the Best Buy lady was eager to help me set it up but it was a mistake: I was using my phone's 3G connection and that *does not work*
We eventually noticed that the 'connect' message displays a wi-fi icon. Well, guess what? That's what was needed.
I didn't have the latest version of the software on the 360. I thought once I connected up and paired the 360 with my Moto X and the download initiated and completed that I was good to go.
It wasn't till my second go round with making sure the battery was charged that the update of the software came through. Man I was almost ready to take this think back but I'm good to go now. Time for fun!

Old thread, but for the benefit of others who may find this, the dev has unpublished the Beelink app. It appears that the 4.4W.2 Android Wear update broke the app.
It's now 2 years later, has anyone found a way to connect to 2 devices at the same time? I need to get notifications from personal and work phone at the same time on my M360...
I don't think it is possible, but you can sync notification from one phone to other via pushbullet or similar app. This way can get all notifications on the watch as well.
I install both Android wear and moto connect in my phone, but I found Moto connect is almost useless, I register moto account, but cannot see any step info comes from my watch.
Only benefit I have seen, which is very minor, is ability to add date to included watch faces. Otherwise I see nothing but perhaps others know more about it. I have only had my 360 5 days.
i couldnt find a reason to keep it installed.

I use it exclusively for integration with Moto Body. The watch uses Connect to synchronize with Motorola's servers and keep record of your weekly stats. Right now I'm trying out UP by Jawbone (the app, not the fitness band), and it's working great so far, so I guess eventually I'll stop using Connect altogether. Other that what I just mentioned, the app is useless.
Oh, it actually does something besides open Android Wear?
I haven't seen it store or restore any of my data after resetting and repairing the watch. Is it just me? Seems its all stored watch-side as of now.
So it just sync my step from watch and upload it to moto server?
Moto Connect helps you to customize (few of) the stock dials .
Also it will help you locate your watch.

the same app does another function on the Moto 360 mate...
So I just pickup a Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatch 2 days ago. I am currently using an Iphone 5. I was able to get the watch and phone connected through bluetooth perfectly fine as Motorola promise it does work with Apple Phones. However I spent the next day or so trying to look for wifi connectivity on the watch as well as the phone. it is no where to be found. The wifi setting on the Moto 360 is just not there. I try searching online for answers and all comes back to say the watch have a wifi feature which can be set at the setting area within the Moto 360. But regardless of what I did. turning off and on the watch number of times. Factory reset the watch number of times. updated to the latest Android wear OS 5.1.1. it still does not show up. I called Motorola tech support. the rep had a watch on his hand and said there should be a wifi setting in the Moto 360. However I'm certain he is not pair to an iphone. so he ask me to go and return the phone and said there could be a software issue with the watch I have.
I realize with Android wear connecting to an iphone, I will never get the full functionality as connecting to an Android phone. And I'm sure the wifi is one of the feature that will not work, simply because within Android wear app itself, in order for the wifi feature to work with the phone, inside Android wear, you have to turn on CLOUD sync. and Android ware for Iphone does not have the CLOUD sync feature in it. so I figure even if the wifi feature on the Moto 360 2nd gen is there, it won't do any good because of lack of CLOUD sync.
Just to answer some of you ask why I would buy a Android Wear watch instead of an Apple watch since I'm using a Iphone. well, the iphone is just my temporary phone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, it was sent in for repair. until it come back. i'm using an old Iphone for my Spare.
Hope this help some people when they run into this issue. If you found something I don't know. please let me know. I like to know. thanks
WiFi and Bluetooth settings are disabled/hidden on all Android Wear devices when they connect to and iOS device.
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't know if there is a topic similar with my issue but my smartwatch sony 3 can't connect with the internet and with the android wear app. Yesterday it was working well with my android tablet, but then I pair with another android smartphone and I can't connect it again with my tablet. It says on the smartwatch that is connected but then it shows "Just a minute..." and on the android tablet "checking for updates... this may take a few minutes". After a few minutes it shows on the smartwatch "can't connect to the android wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips."
I have done the downgrade of the smartwatch to LWX48P version because I want to update to LCA43 to use NFC with freestyle libre because I am diabetic. Please help me, and thank you so much for your patience.
Best regards from Portugal,
Catarina
Greetings. Perhaps the problem you are having is the switch. Your watch can only be connected to one host device (phone/tablet) at a time. In order to switch you need to disconnect it from the device and set it up as a new device on the new one. This will trigger a wipe (at least of /data). There may be an app to make the switch easier, but I am not sure.
Good luck.

Just a hunch, but you probably need to disconnect it from Android Wear on both devices, then remove Bluetooth pair from both devices in Bluetooth settings, then reset the watch to factory settings, then start with a clean slate.
But previous poster is correct, you cannot pair it with 2 devices, which is really annoying, so pick one device only, and you can't switch from one to the other, and then back again.

Thank you so much for your reply! It works if the smartwatch has the latest version ! But the main question is that with the LWX48P version I can't connect with my tablet. But I need to update to LCA43, and without internet I can't do it. I searched for a OTA version of LWX48P to LWX49K to LDZ22D and finally to LCA43 to make the upgrade manually but I can't find it. Can you help me please? Thank you!
