Over on its product forums, Google announced that it has started rolling out Android 5.1.1 to Android Wear watches. Additionally, according to several users on Reddit, and at least one person on our own forums, the update has already started landing on the LG G Watch and G Watch R.
Nothing on my Moto 360 just yet.
I upgraded my nexus 4 to 5.1 but all of the sudden 3g data never worked. I had to switch back to 5.0.1. Hope this one fixes it.
All in all, nexus privilege is not working for me anymore. I may switch to iPhone next year. Atleast I will get the upgrades more safely.
OOps, This was about android wear!!! My bad.

Yeah, I went all-in on the Apple ecosystem because of this. Was a huge Android fan for a long time, but Google has basically lost control over the fragmentation and update situation.
My wife has android phones and a moto 360, neither has received updates so far. Meanwhile, I had a Apple Watch update yesterday which made the watch even further ahead of the curve.
I’ll get right back to the Android ecosystem if they manage to fix this, and someone produces a better watch once wear gets better. Android Wear is a joke as is.
Yes and no. Apple is certainly better with updates, but don’t ask what they sometimes push. My iPhone 4 became unusable with iOS 7, I heard they fixed performance issues in 7.2 or so. The same happened with my wive’s 4s and iOS 8. My Mac Mini has had graphics artefacts since the 10.3 update, it was working fine before.
Also, lots of functionality that is part of the OS in iOS is in the Play Store in Android. So while a Moto X 2013 may still be stuck on 4.4.4 for the time being, you can still have the latest Google Play services, GMail, Hangouts, etc. (Unfortunately, the 5c is derived from a three year old phone.)
It’s really a mixed bag. But if the pricing was better, I’d probably go back to iOS. But currently you can buy a good Android phone for ~200-300 Euros while a modern iPhone goes for at least 599.

Shrug, most people have disposable income.
