My Moto 360 watch shows a calling setup screen and asks to swipe left to set up, but when I swipe there are no settings. My only other option is to block the app, but when I do that I don't get text notifications on my watch.

This has worked for me so far (we'll see if it stays fixed).
On your watch, go to applications (swipe left from the main) and open the message+ application.
When that launches, it will request permissions to several things (making texts and calls I believe).
So far this has gotten rid of it for me
I've been having the same problem for about four or five days now. Ever since I received an update to my Note 4, I've been having nothing but problems with my Moto 360. Used to get my calls and texts without any problems - now I get neither. Now I have a watch that dies in a matter of hours because the "Calling Setup" notification won't go away.
I've done factory resets on my watch and reinstalled the Android Wear app and nothing works...
Calaroco, getting any software updates should help improve services on all devices. I'm shocked to hear that you are having troubles. Do you ever get any kind of errors on the cell phone or the watch that you're using? Please keep us posted.

KevinR_VZW - I did get a random text from Verizon that said "Your device Moto 360 now has access to your text and calls" around the time my phone updated. That's also when the "Calling Setup" notification started appearing on my watch. Have not received any error messages at all.
My watch and phone are connected and can still do everything else that I was able to do prior to the update except receive phone calls and texts. Any suggests are appreciated.
I get the same message on my Moto 360 and I also got the text "Your device Moto 360 now has access to your text and calls"
This relly needs to be fixed or removed from the app until it gets fixed. I get this notification several times a day and the only workaround I have found is to block notifications for Message+.
I have a Moto 360 gen 2 and an LG G5 with current software.
This happened when we all received the patch to Message+ version 6.4.4 near the beginning of Feb.
The only way to stop it is to turn off notifications for the app being pushed to the Android Wear device (moto 360 or other as well). That then means we cannot receive notifications for sms or other messages from the app.
As this is the current default messaging app pushed with Verizon OEMs, you can't uninstall it. (though you can disable it and install another sms app.
It is really annoying and a battery drain.
Thank you for providing that information, Bsteffen88. In regards to the message + application there are some things that need to be completed first. Please make sure you are using the latest release and if you are switch your messaging application to the original version that was installed for this option to work normally. We are working on this issue so that our customers can use the application again however at this time we do not have a fix for it.

My moto 360 does the same thing.
Anyone know how to get it to stop?
I believe this is a notification from "Message+". You have to uninstall that from your phone it will not show the notification anymore but a lot of people use this app so this really needs to be fixed.
Ditto. This is happening on my Moto 360 Sport 2 since the new Message+ app push. Fix this please!!!

Thank you so much!!! I finally got the notification to go away after days of it popping up every few minutes. Your literally a life saver, and I apparently can reply to texts alot easier now that I got it "set up" so that's a bonus too. Must be a weird bug that when you swipe left to set it up it doesn't do anything and you have to do it manually
Tahoeed, using your 360 Sport is absolutely something that we want for you. BSteffen88 had some great steps to ensure that you are running smoothly again. Please let us know if there are any concerns after following those steps.

I have the same issue as Muvotx - the app does not ask me for permissions (all are granted in setup anyway) and I still get the nag message to setup.
??? How do you get message+ to automatically request permissions? Mine just goes right to the message listing screen?
Ive gotten the notification to stop, but now I can't get message+ to reliably stay connected. I get no texts and can't send messages any more. I've checked all the permissions and it appears correct.
I think I have figured it out... I have been a wreck about this. My texts stopped working a few days after getting the good ole setup message... I've gone thru every setting of my fairly new Moto z force and my Moto 360 watch. Every setting of every app on both watch and phone. I was in my message+ app on my phone and at the top left is 3 horizontal lines (drop down menu). From the menu I scrolled down to settings, scrolled down to click "manage devices" from that menu it listed my Moto 360. It said I could disconnect and reconnect at any time. So I disconnected it. From there I spent nearly an hour trying to figure out how to "reconnect" my watch to my phone. None the less I opened the message+ app on my Moto 360 watch and there was not a single message, completely empty, so I clicked the new message and instantly I received a text on my phone stating it connected and ALL of my texts I hadn't received over the last few days were back and now I'm receiving texts again.
Keep in mind I received the same notification on my watch you all have received that when you swiped to open did nothing, and I also received the same Verizon text I just received, a few days ago. That's when I stopped receiving texts.
So fingers crossed this is the fix.... At least it's working for now
About 2 days ago message+ dis-connected itself from my moto 360 Gen-2 (46mm). By that I mean completely terminated message+ notifications. I tried everything to get it to send incoming notifications to the watch and could not get it to sync-up.
I cleared all cache, all data, turned off and then on ALL notifications, disabled and re-enabled message+... Still no incoming text notifications at all.
I cleared all cache from Android Wear, turned off and then on ALL Android Wear notifications, and once again repeated all the above steps with message+.... still no incoming text notifications at all were making their way to my watch.
I had no choice but to deactivate and terminate everything having to do with message+ (clear cache, clear data, restrict background data, terminate all permissions, force stop and disable). Its carrier bloatware so unfortunately it can not be completely un-installed without rooting.
I Download and installed Google messenger. This is the OEM text app that comes with the pixel. So far, going on 1 week its been awesome. Very streamlined, compact, and efficient. PERFECT sync-ing with my moto 360 gen2. Best of all the voice recognized texting function works MUCH better, faster and more accurate than message+.
