Moto 360 Gen 1 missing apps

So I just upgraded my phone to the HTC One A9 that is running Marshmallow. I also recently bought a Moto 360 V1. It updated fine without me having to force it. However, I don't have GMail nor GroupMe on my Moto 360 and my Google Hangout app won't even load. I went into Android Wear app and even tried the older version other people have suggested. I even did the resync apps on there with no success. I'm wondering if it's Marshmallow that's doing this or am I just oblivious and noob-like. My experience is that I've rooted every android I've had with ease.

I'm not aware that GMail installs an app on an Android Wear watch, it uses Wear-enabled notifications (to allow for replying from the watch). If Hangouts has not been updated on the phone since pairing the 360, Hangouts may not have installed the Android Wear component. Perhaps uninstalling updates from Hangouts and then reinstalling them will trigger the Android Wear component install. I'm not familiar with GroupMe.

I think you're right. Only certain apps are actually on the watch itself. It appears that most things are only notified. I have found 3rd party apps that you can scroll through things like twitter and gmail. I uninstalled and reinstalled Hangouts with no luck. I guess I'll have to just do without. Working well so far though. Guess I can't fully replace my phone with the watch, but I'm loving it.

Yeah, like sfringer said, Gmail doesn't have an Android Wear specific app. You'll only get new message notifications from Google Now. If you think some apps haven't synced to the watch correctly you can open the Android Wear app on your phone, navigate to the settings menu for the Moto 360 and select "Resync Apps" to resync all available Android Wear apps to your Moto

Some app doesn't sync to watch.

I just updated to M1D63G via Xperia Companion.
Everything looks ok, most of app has synced to watch, except Feel the wear, Advanced Settings for Watch, Root Essentials.
There is a list i tried
reset SWR50 many time
press sync app in android wear app
disable cloud synchronization in android wear app
install and uninstall app via Google Play
reset my phone
flash mwd49b rom made by alex6600 (fail because Bluetooth share FC)
Is there any idea to let it work again? thanks~

Ok... now it's ok, I don't know why but those app is back
If anyone has the same problem, try my solution on the top.
This time I root my SWR50 before pair to phone.
On welcome page, long press power key and the setting page will show up, and then you can do anything there.

Android Wear Apps Not On Phone

I just purchased the Smartwatch 3. I like the watch but have a problem. Not all of the wear apps are loading on the watch. For instance, I've downloaded Ghostracer, Runtastic and Endomondo and while they appear on my phone; they do not appear on the watch. However, other apps I have downloaded are on there and I can install new watch faces. Oddly enough Spotify and Skype are on the watch and I didn't attempt to put them on my watch. It seems to be hit or miss.
I sent an email to the manufacturer of one of the apps and they said it may be due to Google Play Services not being the most recent. I am currently on version 9.4.52.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem at the beginning of my adventure with SW3.
Google Play Services is too old.
Try force-updating it on your phone (use this link) or else just wait a couple hours, it should update itself both on phone and on the watch. Anyway AFAIK Android Wear app shows an information when Google Play Services are out of date but I'm not sure.
Or try force-syncing the apps in the watch settings in Android Wear app.
Or, as I've already told, just wait a couple of hours and make sure you have your watch paired and connected to the phone during that time
Or if nothing happens, try unpairing the watch. It will reset to the factory settings (you won't lose any data connected with the watch from your phone except the watch that was paired), pair the watch again and wait for the setup to complete, it will sync all the necessary apps with the phone.

Thanks for replying. You were right. I tapped on the version and it updated like 4 times during the night. When I woke all of the apps were on the watch.

help me....Sony SmartWatch 3 not syncing apps

my sony smartwatch 3 don't syncing my apps!!! I've factory-reset the watch and phone multiple times. I've cleared the cache for Google Play Service, Wear OS. Notifications (such as text messages) work just fine, but I don't see third party apps in the smartwatch

Hi, the reason is that new android apps have suppport for wear os 2.0 (wich has a kind of playstore for companion app installation) only, and dropped wear os 1.6 support.

I think you must install old apps for the time of the watch was available. I still have a SW3 and a G-Watch with Android 1.5 and I must keep often old app to have the app on the watch. Often, if I update the phone 3rd app this app stay on watch (not updated) but often continu to works on watch.
You must also force the "sync" in Wear advanced settings and more than one time I have the app installed on the watch only after 3 days........

yes...I have this problem too...

Update Google services play
Hi, I was on the same problem, you need to update your google play service up to the 20.xx versión, via usb, try the 15 second adb installer, download google play service (wear os) on apk mirror, use the install adb command

Hi, you can take a look here if you still didn't find a solution
