I want to make a list with nice apps for our Sony Smartwatch 3.
Which apps are you using?
Give us some good apps, why they are great/better and if possible with their links! Please read and don't post doubles.
My List for now:
APPS:
Wear Mini Launcher
Need to have this one for starting apps the easy way. Also handy for finding your phone and quickly change watch brightness.
Runkeeper
Run Sports Tracker, compatible with Google Fit
Task Manager
See whats happening and force close apps..
Wear Battery Stats
Wear Battery Stats, monitor your Android Wear device battery life and when an app is installed, updated or uninstalled.
Evernote for Android Wear
Take notes and sync them with your computer
Flashlight for Wear
Sort of light..
Sleep as Android (PAID)
Sleep tracker with wear support.
Multi Calculator
Wear Internet Browser
IFTTT
For doing many things, like turn my Philips Hue Lights On from the watch.
Google Fit
Steps and movement Tracker compatible with Runkeeper
Google Maps
Calendar for Android Wear (PAID)
Very nice calendar app! Add appointment with keyboard or voice. Change time of appointments and more.
Facer (PAID)
Nice app to make watchfaces, many free watchfaces available (including mine!) Another similar app is called "Watchmaker"..
Sony Walkman App
Musicplayer compatible to sync music offline to the watch.
tinyCam Monitor Pro (PAID)
Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Ghostracer Beta
Very nice running app for standalone watch support. Use Bluetooth smart HRM monitors and listen to music with the Walkman app at the same time.. Many features and upload possibilities to Strava and other running apps (in future). Join this LINK for BETA.
PixtoCam
Camera remote tool. Kinda handy for making stop motion video's with your phone!
Hue Control
For now a good app to control the Philips Hue lamps from the watch.
Sony TrackID
Track the name of a song with the watch's mic.
GAMES:
Sheep Shield
Funny game for a couple minutes..
Birdy Wear
Another Flappy Bird rip off.
BiDot
Very nice little ball game. Played it for a while..
* Calendar for Android Wear (PAID)
Very nice calendar app! Add appointment with keyboard or voice. Change time of appointments and more.
I took a chance, only a few downloads but ok I will see

I have not used this app very long, but it has worked great so far to allow me to easily lower the brightness below the normal settings. This will be great at night. I went ahead and purchased it for a dollar from the play store to support the developer, but the developer is offering it for a free trial right now thru 12/21/14.

Thanks! I like the idea but at my watch it looks like a black/brown layer on top instead of adjusting the brightness. For example with "wear mini launcher" you can adjust the brightness below the normal settings. Only thing is when screen turns off and on again, brightness setting is to default again... <br />
Your app holds its settings, so that's a good workaround for now.<br/>
Check this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixtogram.wear.zicam. For me is the best taking photos on Sony SW3
Does anyone know how to activate the Android Wear channel in ITTT? I can't seem to figure it out, tried opening ITTT on the watch, tells me to use the phone and then the phone has no obvious place to enable it (well other than the activate android wear channel--but that doesn't work haha)
Does anyone know how to make a negative watch face when the watch is "resting"? What I mean is, when the watch goes into rest mode and you see the e-ink display of the watch face, it would be nice to have that in a negative tone. You'd be able to see it better.
I use Facer and have different displays depending on whether the watch is active or idle. Active has full digital information, idle just shows hands. I assume something like what you are after may be possible.
Just to add;
Ghostracer Beta (GPS, Bluetooth HRM support, Syncs with Strava and all others that sync with Strava (my fitness pal, runkeeper etc.)) -- Works by itself! No phone required.
Walkman App beta (Lets you transfer Mp3s to your device that aren't through Play Music. Does it via Playlists rather than "everything" like Google Play Music.) -- Listen directly from your watch to bluetooth headsets! Great for listening with leaving your phone at home on runs/walks.
Tinycam Monitor (PRO) -- Paid -- Lets you "send" a camera feed to your watch so you can watch it there.
Wear Calendar -- I like this calendar above the rest currently out there
At work -- Useful time keeping wear app to check in and out of work to manage your timecard
Flopsy Droid -- Flappy bird rip off because why not??? This app actually makes a lot of sense for a wear device.

I have used Facer for this with my home made Casio watchface ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956934
Watchface for Facer, Casio White ). I prefer the new white, with digital big clock in ambient mode...
At the moment I'm trying the "Watchmaker" app with the same Casio face. It has more options to tweak...
Will update this section soon with all of our new "must have apps"..
I'm really enjoying the Walkman app that imnoob55 mentioned in his post above. I found it at this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728110 ) and it's working flawlessly on my Note 2 paired with my Sony Smartwatch 3.

I think this question belongs in the Question section!
Turn on the Whatsapp notifications on your phone. That should do the trick...

Is somebody using Watchmaker ? I can't get it to work properly, it seems that there is some sort of lag with the minute while in ambient mode. Facer is working fine but Watchmaker has weather icons out of the box.

I converted my watchface made in Facer to a Watchmaker face, but had a batterydrain and some other issues. Maybe it's just me but at the moment I'll stay with Facer. I actually like the variety of features from Watchmaker though..

I use Facer too, but now I have the same problem since the last update. The minutes are always 1 minute late and update when I wake up the watch.
Hi all,
I've just started developing watch faces for the LG G Watch R and Sony SmartWatch 3 after being a seasoned developer for the Sony SmartWatch 2. They should also work on any other Android Wear watch that's running the latest Lollipop 5.x update. I've published a few on Google Play but unfortunately they're hard to find via the Google Play search - easiest way is to see them via my Facebook page www.facebook.com/JJWwatchfaces or via my direct Google Play link www.julianjwong.com. Note that majority of them are SmartWatch 2 watch faces - you should be able to easily tell the difference from the app icon in Google Play.
Hope you enjoy them!
Hi
I'll be great full if anyone could send us watch faces from moto360 sport (FYI, I mean original pre-installed watch faces on moto 360 sport),
that would be nice to have the new original faces on our wrists.
Regards

For my 360v2 (I know this is 360 thread but hope this helps), I tried to modify the XML in the apk to show the faces. I think part of the problem with using stock faces is that the Sport is 360px where the v2 is only 320px (at leasty smaller, 42mm?, 360 is). ALL faces are actually included in the Moto Connect apk but are disabled based on the watch model that is paired...this may be our best hope for other 360x360px watches, but I bailed on hacking the pairing once I noticed the size differences (pics in Reddit link below).
Here are some of my findings from a Reddit post I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/moto360/comments/4fn5en/moto_360_sport_watch_faces_on_moto_360v2/
Here is the WatchMaker version version of 'Sport' that I made to meet my wants: http://www.watchawear.com/watches/watch-faces/download/2-watch-faces/4375-sport-2-0.html
Download and install. Thanks for your work!!!!
hi there, i am having trouble to find Motorola Moto 360 sport watch faces, can anyone help me ?
Hi! Hope you are fine.
Excuse me for my poor english in advance.
I have a new watch paired with a Nexus 6p with the developer preview 3 of android 7.1.1
The watch don't install any app. The phone have all the apps updated but in the wath there are no calculator, no maps, no no no and no.
Any idea? i'm so disapointed.
My girfriend have a Moto 360 sport, with de same phone and android version, working perfect.
thanks you!
android wear dev preview app sync are disabled because apps are going to be moved ot the new watch store
either sideload them using a pc or downgrade to android wear 1.5 to get apps to sync
oh by the way
you are trolling in the part " your gf have moto 360 with the same android version" moto 360 is stuck on 1.5 ( android 6)

hi! thanks for the answer, but not in this case, both watches have stock android wear 6.0.1 and both nexus 6p phones have 7.1.1 dev preview.
The moto 360 sport install apps without problem but the huawei not.
Open android wear 2 app > click gear icon > click Huawei watch> click resync apps if you are on android wear 1.5 this should make it
just use the APK installer tool

Hi all.
Sorry if this is a really stupid question. I've just purchased a huawei watch and upgraded it to android wear 2 but I can't work out how to sync watch faces that I have purchased from the play store. I've purchased them on my phone and gone into the android wear settings and forced a recync of apps but still no new watch faces.
What am I doing wrong ?

You can try downloading them using the play store on your watch.

From what I have seen, you HAVE to install them through the Play Store on your watch. It beats me why Google removed the app sync, at least for those apps that need to be installed on both.
