Mine tired to do an update while I was sleeping I guess. Came back to it and it said there wasn't enough space to download the update. I did a reset, but no update yet.
5.0 Update news!

What about Root?
My watch downloaded the update, however, I'm rooted and running TWRP. Can anyone confirm that we will retain root with the update?

Hi,
Am I missing something?
I got the update yesterday evening but my watch doesn't seem to update. On my phone, a Note 3, I have Android wear 1.0.5.1630507 but on my watch it's still 4.4.w.2.
I have restarted, reset and re-whatever possible the watch; I have rebooted my phone and even uninstalled and reinstalled Wear on the phone but nothing changes: 1.0.5. on the phone, 4.4.2 on the watch...
Edit: Although I did this a thousand times, I hit Update on the watch and miracle, it updated hhoorrrriibbllyy sslloowwllyy! FW 5.0.1 is running now...

Vibration??
Did they fix the vibration issues?
That's all I'm really interested in since it currently REALLY sucks...

I am getting android wear freezes and much lag with 5.0.1 update. I forced the update by resetting the watch, unpairing it from my g3, and uninstalling wear companion app.
I too had terrible freezes and choppiness after update. I had to uninstall Wear Mini Launcher...it did not play nice with 5.0.1.
Also almost all the custom watch faces, like my favorite Pujie Black, do not go into Dim Mode and seem buggy. Most devs are working on fix.
I will try uninstalling Wear Mini Launcher too. I am not getting good battery life either. It dropped 10% overnight while in airplane mode, screen off, and muted.....
Basically all the custom watch face apps like Facer/Watchmaker have been using undocumented APIs and ugly hacks to get stuff displayed on the watch. Now that Google has introduced an official watch face API, once devs update their apps we'll be good to go. Gotta be patient.
According to this, Google didn't give many Devs early access to the update and not giving them long to fix their code. But, Google did warn not to hack for watch faces in the first place. So, we were all playing at our own risk.
My "R" is still locked and the Android Wear 1.0.5 update came to my phone earlier today. Then I just got the 5.0.1 OTA for the "R".
Now that I'm updated, I see this star on my dimmed watch screen. What's up with the star? And how do I get rid if it?

I just did the same thing and I'm getting the update!
Just saw a YouTube clip, I think this I a feature. If you pull down from the top of the display you will see som options. A star means you will get notifications from you favorits only, that's what I think anyway. Don't have this update myself ....yet.

I've tried that and still no update for me.
Yes, the call swipe options work for in coming calls again, post update.
Make sure to download the wear app from the play store. Whenever I installed the newer apk I wouldn't get the update.
The newest version of Wear is an improvement but I'm disappointed it doesn't go further.
What about multiple home screens and widgets?
Why can't I choose the order my apps appear in?
Why isn't there more control over the notifications I receive? There is some but should be more.

I'm just happy I can disable the tilt to wake. That feature annoyed me.
for me..it bring a lot of improvement and i am really loving this fw 5.0.1..the watch face is like additional excitement...the most useful function for me is:
1. theater mode
2. tilt to wake feature to turn off...
cant be request too much as not much competition for this market..
