The update bricked my watch. I noticed it wasn't connecting with my phone so I reset device. Now it won't boot beyond the LG logo. Accessing the recovery mode of the bootloader did nothing. Still progressed to the logo and then died.
Latest update bricked device. Cannot progress beyond lg logo

- Start date
Update: it seems that the boot up sequence require you to be on the charger. I got 90% and it still dies upon boot. But after completing the sequence it allows me to remove it and interact with it.
Last wear update make my R useless.. impossible connection to phone, invisible to bluetooth in all devices.. I've tried everything.. factory reset, wipe/reset from recovery.. nothing at all.. now watch stuck on "In the app, tap this watch code:" and no code it's displayed.. maybe this is the real problem.. any ideas, guys?! Actually my watch it's only trash.. 
you can try to flash the stock again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/fastboot-zip-factory-images-t3405311)Last wear update make my R useless.. impossible connection to phone, invisible to bluetooth in all devices..

Got the update a little while ago. Battery dropped from 99 to 83 in 10 minutes. Just did a reset. Let see if this helps.
As said by others, boot won't complete without being on cradle.
I'm taking it that comment was meant for someone else. Updated without a problem and wasn't on cradle. Why would you need the cradle to boot or to update? OTA. Not connect to anything.
No idea. But I've seen others on the forum reporting the same bug.
Using the charge base!

I believe it's a battery issue. When I charged with Quick Charge 2.0 charger, the watch went black when I removed it from charger (even though watch reported battery status to 100%), then I charged with 5V 1A charger. Now the watch reported very low %. After fully charging I was able to remove watch from charger, but % dropped from 100% to 0% in about an hour.
So now I've ordered a replacement battery and hope for the best. A Li-Ion battery is best charged at 1C, meaning the charging current should be the same as battery mAh capacity. For this watch case, the charging current should not exceed 400mA - and now I have my doubts about the watches ability to handle high current chargers.
