1.4 update

[codesplice]

The Wear version on the watch is bound to the firmware on the watch. It can't be updated separately, and doesn't have anything to do with the version of the Android Wear app on your phone. Wear 1.4 == Android 6.0, Android 6.0 == Wear 1.4. You'll get Wear 1.4 on your watch once you also get Android version 6.0 (I don't know the build number, but it will start with "M").

When I get home, Ima gonna make a beeline to my watch and light it up and check
I kinda hope the speaker gets activated for the only reason to have an hourly chime.....I love that on a watch
(if I can find a way to do it )

My guess is all of the stuff will be dependent on watch faces. I have one that vibrates hourly, so it would be cool to have an hourly chime too.

Hmmm, may have to wait a little longer according to Huawei Customer Care:

While we expect the update to be arriving in the near future, at this time we do not have an official date on when we will be releasing it. However, we will be letting the Huawei Community know as soon as we have an official date. (DM)

I think @codesplice threw his weight around over there and got sh*t done!

Won't work on a Huatch... no way to connect it to a PC. SO we wait

I was wondering about that. Reddit and XDA abound with folks who say they've done it though. Maybe connected via the charging dock? I dunno.

I'd give it a go... but not on a release build so it wouldn't take anyway.

 

[codesplice]

ADB debugging over USB via the charging puck. And I rebooted to recovery - lots of cool options in there. I don't have an OTA file to try flashing, though. But at least the "connect to PC" bit of the instructions does seem to work!

 

[Mikestony]

Just to verify, let's say a certain someone flashed TWRP onto his/her Huawei watch.
They cannot take the OTA correct?

Edit: n/m...found the answer, and it's no...need stock recovery.

Damn. Still nothing on my watch. I'll give it a few days before I try sideloading.

Mike, if you have enough of a charge you can swiipe that to the side and apply the update. At least I was able to on a previous update.

Yah, I probably did have enough of a charge, but I was in bed and knew if I took the update, I'd start to tinker with it lose some sleep
I just wanted to post it to rub it in here

 

[The_Chief]

And rub it in you did! STILL waiting

 

[codesplice]

Waiting on the OTA be all like

Not sure what happened, but I turned on my watch and immediately checked for updates.
It said I was up to date.
Lo and behold, I'm on MM.
I don't know how that happened that quickly as last night I powered my watch down:
