Looked at my watch and noticed the time was about an hour off.. The watch is completely frozen. I've tried placing it on the charging dock, also pressing the reset button for up to 30 seconds. And looking within the android wear app for a restart option all to no avail. Anyone know how to restart it?

Is the display still on? Maybe once the battery dies you can get it to reboot on the charger. Keep us posted!
I also frozen my GWatch 2 days ago and I restarted it after push the reset button for 10s.

Yes the display is still on. I was hoping to not have to wait for it to die.. Ugh but thanks!
Solved (well kinda): letting the device drain the battery over night and when I woke up the screen was black.. Placed it on the charger and all seems good now. I just wish there was a way to restart it without having to let it die.. Luckily I was home all day yesterday.. But if it would have froze while I was at work I would have been without it all day. That's kinda scary because I need a watch at work in my profession.

Look on the back. There is a hole where u can stick a paperclip or something same in to reset
my watch seems died. Left it on the charging cradle all night long, this morning i found it off with no way to turn it on. Placing on the cradle again shows the full battery icon, but the screen is totally black. Tried to use the little button on the back of the watch for about 10 sec with no results... any suggest but rma?

Maybe try letting the battery run dead? That is what I had to do in order to get mine to reset

Can you take it in a dark room? Is the backlight on?.. If not then yeah I would try returning it where you purchased it.
backlight seems off. i'll try again with the cradle once i'll be back home, but i do think that rma is the only way
update: seems like the charger i use no longer charge my gwatch. I connected the watch to my pc with another usb cable, and after some seconds it boots up
battery was completely drained (0%) so that's the cause of the problem. now, i tried to charge my phone with the same charger i use for the watch and it seems ok, so i'll probably have to discover why it didn't charge my watch until battery gone 0%...
Just got the update to 6.0.1 today. With 5.1.1 I used to double press the side button to put the watch in theater mode and turn off the screen while charging. My v1 moto 360 developed some screen burn in after about a year from the charging screen, so I now turn it off on my v2 while charging. But with 6.0.1, the screen will not stay off, the charging screen turns back on after 10-15 seconds. Anyone else also notice this with the new upgrade?

Yes, noticed it last night - I normally put it in theatre mode too for just the same reason, but now it turns back on after a few seconds. I've tried changing the developer options for 'Stay awake when charging' to enable/disable and it makes no difference
EDIT: Tempted to try the 'Slumber' app, but read some horror stories in reviews...
Thanks for the confirmation... I have an support inquiry into Motorola, hopefully they can fix this in another update. I had some wackiness with the contacts section after the upgrade, so i did a factory reset. It did fix the contacts problem, but unfortunately the screen still turns back on when charging.
please keep us updated. this is ridiculous. they fix one thing and break another. Motorola is ridiculous.

Same Issue
I also have this same issue. (Moto 360 Gen 2, 6.0.1)
Tried a factory reset after upgrading to 6.0.1 OTA and the screen turns on after a few seconds of being off while charging.

Figured out the issue
Hello All,
I have figured out the issue. Motorola changed how it works.
You can no longer double click to go into theater mode set it on the charger and have the screen stay off.
Now, for whatever reason, you need to place it on the charger, wait for the charging screen to open and for the charging animation to finish / slightly fade, press and hold the side button until it fades to black, your screen will now stay off until you remove it from the charger. Took me a while to figure this out, ha-ha.
I have tried this several times in a row and the screen does remain off.
Hopefully this helps you guys as well.
Thanks,
-th3r3isnospoon
PS, if it doesn't work, reboot once then follow the above instructions.

hmm....i couldn't get this to work, even after a reboot. when i press the side button, the app list immediately comes up and if i hold it longer, it switches to the black and white ambient mode screen, which i guess is better than the charging screen. But I couldn't get the screen to turn off like with 5.1.1. If you keep holding the side button for too long, the watch does a hard reboot. Anyone else manage to get this to work?

I just tried this, and couldn't get it to work either. When I hold down the side button, the app list appears, holding down longer shows the ambient watch face. I have the 42mm version and have Always On turned On.
I did try turning off always on screen too, I thought it might be related to that, but no change
Does not work for me either, even after a reboot...
My solution (for now) to reducing the amount of heat the watch is subjected to on the charger (I normally charge overnight) is to use one of these WiFi controlled plugs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Watts-Clever-Controlled-Monitoring-Features/dp/B00UQOPM8U
I make sure it's turned OFF before going to bed, turn off the watch (optional) and set it on the charger. Set the timer on the InPlug to come on 1hr30mins before I get up in the morning and then automatically switch off. That means the watch and charger come on, get charged before I get out of bed, and the InPlug switches itself (and the charger) off again after 1hr30mins so the watch/screen is only ever subjected to an hour and a half of charging and the associated heat/screen burn.
The other option is to have it on when you go to bed and switch off 1hr30mins or 2hrs later, but then the watch is on all night using up the charge.
You can set the InPlug to do the same thing daily, so it's a 'set and forget' kind of thing. (Other makes are available, for example, Belkin).
I noticed that the charging screen seems dimmer (maybe it's just me) than before the update, so maybe that will reduce the chances of any damage.

doesn't work at all. holding it down brings up app list, thats it.
Hi! Excuse me for the OT question, but since you talked about it...how do you do a factory reset in 6.0.1? The reset option is no longer in the settings menu...
In settings, go to bottom and choose "unpair with phone" that performs a factory reset.
I have the same issue, expect a firmware upgarde soon from Motorola.

Do you know of a firmware update coming that will fix this or are you just speculating?
I'm currently using Slumber for Android Wear, and it's free with no weird permissions.
It appears in the app drawer on the watch; you just have to activate it before you drop it on the charger.

How could you apply factory reset? I've noticed that this option is gone from Moto 360 menu after 6.01v uprgrade. Thx
The watch cannot turn on anymore after i forgot to charge it over night.
I try to clean a contact and tried to connect to computer or charger. No any responding on watch.

You should put the watches on your charger for 1 day...

Thx, i will try to night and let see it after 24 hours charging ..:good::fingers-crossed:
For now, it still dead. Can't turn it on but the screen pretty warm.
I think I had that happened after my five days of use. It didn't turn on even on the charger for few hours. What I did was holding the power button for three or four seconds, and let the watch turn on the boot screen, and then right away put it to the charger. Then you should see the battery charging status image on the watch.

In my case i didn't see any boot screen when i hold the power button. you have any idea to turn it on?
Try plug your charger directly to a power USB switch. and clean the pins on the charger and on the watch.

Oh, really. be care ful bro, i so concern your watch will dead as my watch.
My battery is completely 0%. My watch is not turned on even on the charger. I pressed the watch down to the charger and made sure it was touching the pins, and then I pressed the power button the watch (while it is on the charger) for 2 or 3 second; the watch is turned on with battery charging status image. Hope that helps. BTW I use a StartTech USB switch for charging my phone and watches. The switch is not plugging to a PC or laptop; it is only for charging my devices.
After I "fried" some bluetooth headsets with wallchargers ( probably powersurge or similar )
I never ever use them for "small" devices like headphones or the watch.
I always charge with a powerbank.
Since then I didn't have any problems
Try to twist the charging ring
After I twist the charging ring couterclockwise/clockwise, the power was increase. So you should try twist the ring until it got the right position and precise contact. Hope this solution helps yours.
I had this exact same problem with my watch after about 8 days, i had charged it multiple times before but one morning i noticed my watch completely off and thought the battery must of drained completely. I went to plug it in and nothing happened it wont charge (even leaving it on the charger for 24+ hours) . Ive tried everything and it just wont turn on or charge.
OP im afriad yours sounds like same issue, i raised a dispute on Aliexpress and got a complete refund. I have just recieved another one so im hoping i dont have the same issue again.
I still have the old broken one so was tempted to pull it apart and see if i can see anything but tbh i wouldnt know where to start so have not bothered.

Hey folks, facing the same issue for my amazfit gts 2 watch. The watch is switched off and charging icon doesn't display on screen. I have been charging it since last 15 hours but nothing is happened. Please help me out on this issue.
have some issue with my amazfit gtr 47. have tried all, but still not charging
My battery was about 5% and I tried to recharge it. I put the watch on the recharger but nothing happened. No indication it's charging. Something more - the battery dropped to 2% within a minute. I tried with another USB cable but there's no change.
I updated the watch a week ago to the last available version.
Can you help me, please!
I tried to restart it, but unfortunately while it was starting again, the battery drained and the watch turned off.
This is what happens when it's plugged in the charger and I try to turn it on: the screen lights up and then turns off.

Check that it's the watch who not working anymore. charging-amazfit-pace-cradle-dock-t3728206
Most probably it's not related to the update... Does the computer recognizes the watch when it's connected to one of its USB ports?
Keep it connected to the computer after making sure the metallic pins are clean and the USB cable is good, then press and hold the button for about 10s. After you release it, the watch should be off and you should see only the battery charging indicator when you press the button briefly again. Leave it this way for 30-45 min and try to press the button briefly to see if it has charged, sometimes when battery goes to zero it takes some time to get charge again (it's bad for the battery when it dies completely by the way). If it doesn't respond, probably it's dead, maybe water damage?
Problem solved. I left the watch connected to the cable with no visible sign of charging. After an hour maybe I pressed the button again and this time it turned on succesfully!
I don't know why it happened but I'm happy it works again.
Thanks for the answers!
I observe a recurring problem with charging. Last few attempts I must plug and unplug the watch to the charger more than 10 times until it starts to charge. I tried turning the watch off and on, but it doesn't help. It's so annoying. Anyone else with the problem?
It just stopped turning on and everytime I tried, I got a toast that said to try again after reattaching the dual screen. This only temporarily fixed it and after a few times of reattaching it the phone doesn't even recognize the case anymore.
The magnetic charging still works.
Anybody encounter this or know how to fix?
Something else. I've had massive battery drain since my dual screen stopped working. At a rate of 6-7% an hour without usage. I have to recharge it twice a day once in the morning and once at night to keep it from dying on me (again without even using the phone). The battery usage only shows system as using battery.
Things I've tried.
1. Rebooting
2. Factory reset (retore with drive)
3. Factory reset (setting up from scratch)
4. Deleting LG message and installing textra. Deleting LG contacts and installing google contacts. Installing and using Google phone as default over LG.
None of these has worked. I'm wondering if it was due to the latest T-mobile update which i took a couple of weeks ago and only noticed it later.
Anybody on T-mobile having battery problem? Any suggestions?
I've had this too. Only thing I haven't tried is a hard reset (vol down + power button) but not sure if will work or not. It's annoying.
Have tried a a hard reset and it‘s still happening. I think mine is a loose connection somewhere. It will stay on and play a movie all the way through if it’s left on the table but if I’m holding the phone while using it it will turn off. No idea if it’s fixable though?

So your problem didn't start after taking the latest T-mobile update then? Turning off while holding sounds bad i hope you can get it figured out.
Now I'm convinced mine had something to do with the dual screen case. It started right after my dual screen case stopped working. I'm guessing it loosened the usb connector or maybe something from the magnet charging adapter itself.

I'm in the UK. My problems started after I upgraded to android 10. It worked flawlessly up until then. I then updated to android 11 hoping that might solve the problem but it didn't. I'm now thinking it's a fault with the screen after it played the whole of the eternals film without turning off as it was sat on the table and not touched. As soon as I try and do something with it while holding it, it turns off, but there's no specific time limit. Sometimes it's on for 20 minutes before it turns off, sometimes it's 20 seconds.
