Showear: Android Wear Lock for Android
Sony SW3 and Galaxy S6 Plus Edge. Device feature does not lock watch on start-up, tested by using forced re-start on a locked SW, it rebooted unlocked. So if lost and somebody found it, they could easily factory reset it and keep it.
For a single watch on Wear 1.X it's easily a 5* app, if you have multiple watches it gets a little wonky but can still work, though I am sad to report it seems to be incompatible with wear 2.X.
Awesome
This app cuses to boging my watch
It really needs more background options besides transparent like all black background
What's about Wear 2.0?
Does the job right.
I love this app
well done
This should be standard on wear watches as without it if I get the watch slightly wet be it from rain or sweat the bloody thing goes bananas. I know it's probably a kernel issue and beyond the scope of the app, but an option to turn off wake by screen tap altogether and just use the button would be gravy.
Keeps causing the watch screen to lock and turn off which stops notifications coming through. Uninstalled and back to no issues
Nice app for people that need it. I found it unnecessary, but if things change I'll definitely reinstall it. I found the initial set-up confusing, as the descriptions weren't totally clear to me.
Not a consistent problem, but every once in awhile it will not re brighten the screen when it comes out of lock mode. It's really an issue when in bright light the screen is so dim cannot even correct the problem.
And very good implementation as well! I don't need a locking mechanism for my Android Wear right now but will definitely install it again when needed.
Wow! This lets me have my watch easily accessible without fearing that I am accidentally pressing buttons. I love how customizable this app is, too!
Works well paired with bubble launcher PERFECT
Feature request: maybe you could have a setting like: auto lock when not wear with less battery consumption.
Why does it keep locking again when I swipe to see my apps?!?
Awesome
It really needs more background options besides transparent like all black background
I love that :D try it out
It works well so deserves 5* rating, great for stopping watch doing things when it rains, but why on earth would anyone need to keep a watch on while getting a shower, do u not need to wash your wrist? Is the 3 second task of removing a watch to shower too much of a drain on your precious time? Lmao
I wanted something like this for two reasons: 1. When i'm in the shower to stop the screen getting activated and registered the water as swipes. 2. When I'm in bed to stop the screen getting activated and killing battery! This app helps out with both of the above :). I have it enabled to lock the screen after i swipe from the left to the centre of the screen twice. Then to unlock again upon entering a series of swipes. Perfect!
This is just what I was looking for! This is perfect! The only thing that could make it better would be an option to require the code every X minutes
Nexus 4 and Sony SW3. Can set a swipe combination, app works perfectly. Refuses to set a pattern unlock. Weird

The first lock on Android wear!
I have LG Urbane and it works for me even after today's system upgrade. I must say this is amazing app and FREE :) Thank you.
Love The tiny lock icon.
Not working after latest android wear update
Duhh!!!
This is a great app, though every time I touch the screen the message "swipe to unlock" pops up and stays until I unlock it. Is there anyway to rid of that message all together? I thought there was a check box for it on the phone part of the app but the message stays on my watch. Thanks!
Perfect!
Fantastic app
If used for the first time in airplane mode, it will pop over your screen that you must set a pattern using your phone. But in airplane mode, it cannot open the app on the phone. There is no way I could find to back out of the app and I had to force restart the watch.
I have a request is there any way for your phone not to show notifications when locked but still vibrate?
An essential app for anyone who takes showers. Which is everyone, or at least I hope so.
I can't believe I need this app for this, a lockscreen should've come with the device out of the box!
Now I can use my android wear as alarm clock again without worrying to accidentally mute the phone to no interruptions in my sleep! Thank you so much!

This is perfect for solving issues like music on my phone starting because I crossed my arms and my arm pressed the unpause button on the screen
